The After School Club aims are to offer parents high quality
flexible childcare in order to support their working patterns. This
will be achieved through providing a safe and enjoyable environment
where children are provided with age appropriate activities to
enable them to learn, play and relax with their friends. Attendance
is flexible dependant on requirement and availability. |
|
|
|
The club caters for up to 18 children between the ages of 4 and 8
and runs from 3.15 pm to 6.15 pm. The Club is run by three members
of staff who are both qualified and experienced in working with
children. We also ensure that staff are qualified in First Aid and
Food Hygiene and have attended a number of specialist courses in
After School Club Care. Activities are offered to meet the needs of
individual children and include art and crafts, cooking, games and
music. Children have access to a safe outdoor area for physical
activities and may occasionally use the local park to enhance their
outdoor play. Homework support is available by request. |

This is an arrangement we have with St. Mary’s Infants School. The
children in the Reception classes are collected from the school
playground at 12.00 pm, escorted to the Kindergarten where, under
supervision, they eat a packed lunch provided by their parents. The
children then attend the Kindergarten afternoon session until 4.00
pm when they join the children attending the After School Club. A
snack is provided for all the children at this time. |
