Our clubs are committed to meeting the needs of the parents/carers by:

• Sharing and discussing their child’s achievements, experiences, progress and friendships, along with any difficulties which may arise.

Personal Records

It is required that all parents/carers complete the Breakfast and After School Club Parent Pack before the children start their session.  The emergency contact details must be up to date at all times and it is the responsibility of the parent/carer to notify the school of any changes in details as soon as possible.

Please ensure that the people listed as the emergency contact are contactable between the hours of 7.45am and 6pm.

Staff

Our experienced and friendly play workers provide a safe and supportive environment.  Our staff team will be kept consistent where ever possible to provide a more stable environment for the children.  All our staff are aged 20+ and have been CRB checked and the children will already know them from the school.  The Ofsted Registration standards ensure that we operate within their guidelines and a ratio of staff to children is recommended at 1:8 for children under 8 years of age and 1:10 for children above 8 years of age.  We aim for a ratio of 1:8 for all children.

Early Pick Ups/Activity Clubs

If you will be picking up your child/ren from the club earlier than the end of the session, this will not impact on the cost of the session.  If your child attends an after school activity club, the bookings are made at the normal price and will be reduced to £10 on the day the child attends both clubs. If the late booking fee has been applied a reduction for attending a club will not be issued.
