Caring for your children after school in our After School Club
We offer a friendly and relaxed environment for your child to enjoy after the school day.
We know and understand that most children are hungry straight after school. This is why we provide a healthy snack sat at a table so everyone can socialise and catch up. The children help clear up and are encouraged to try new foods.
After their snack, the children play with our vast range of toys, get creative at the craft table, play outdoors, and generally have lots of fun with their friends until they are collected by their parents/guardians. Our team has regular feedback sessions with the children talking about ideas for future topics, what they enjoy and what they don’t do that the team can plan effectively.
