Important guidance on completing question 5:
· Each holiday club can be counted once for each of the school holiday periods in which they are open.
· This means that answers to this question do not need to sum to the total number of holiday clubs in your area as one holiday club, may be counted more than once.
· However, the figure for any one holiday period should not exceed the total number of providers in your local authority.
