Wraparound Childcare

Breakfast Club (BC) After School Provision (ASP)

Breakfast Club (BC) runs from 7:30 am until 8:45 am, after which the children will be dismissed to their classroom for the start of the school day. Our aim is to provide a happy family atmosphere, where children are encouraged to work together as a team! BC is supervised by Mrs Barber (Nursery Manager) and her team.

Drop Off / Breakfast

Children should be dropped off at the school hall door, via the main school gate to be signed in with supervising staff. On arrival, children will have a choice of activities such as board and construction games and will then be encouraged to help lay the breakfast table, before being served a healthy breakfast from 7:45am, provided by our on-site caterers Cucina.

Breakfast

This will typically consist of a choice of cereals, toast or muffins and fresh fruit, accompanied by juice, milk or water. In addition a hot option will also be offered on certain days of the week. There is a cut-off time of 8:15am to receive breakfast, outside of this time cereals only will be available

Morning Activities

After 8:15 am children can access the School’s subscribed daily Fitness Routine which you can view on this link //5-a-day.tv / or take part in some keep fit activities with staff, such as ‘Let’s Dance’ or in warmer weather physical outdoor activity.

“Vigorous exercise BEFORE learning improves student memory, mood and behaviour, and helps create a heightened state of attention. Exercise is the single most powerful tool you have to optimise your brain function and improve learning. To keep our brains at peak performance, our bodies need to work hard.” – John Ratey, MD, author of SPARK

Our After School Provision or ASP runs from the end of every school day through until 6pm. We understand children have been working hard at school and wish to relax and unwind at the end of the school day; our two week activity programme is designed to meet this requirement. Our aim is to provide the atmosphere of ‘playing at someone else’s house' - but with lots of friends!

Registration

ASP Registration will take place at 3:15 pm and children will be offered a healthy fruit snack and drink on arrival.

Tea

Children will be served a light tea between 4:30 pm and 5pm in the School hall, provided by our on-site caterers Cucina. In the Winter months, some hot teas such as jacket potatoes, pasta and soup will be served. During the warmer months, a picnic tea may take place outside. Again we include the children in helping to lay the table and create the atmosphere of a relaxed informal meal, where children will be encouraged to chat about their school day. Menus will be rotated so children can sample and experience a variety of different things - especially if they only visit us on certain days of the week.

Pick Up

Children must be picked up by an appropriate adult to ensure safe collection of all children. Collection will be via the main school Reception and parents will need to ring the doorbell outside the Main Office; your child will then be brought to the door by ASP Staff. Any unfamiliar adult collecting may be asked to provide proof of validity for safeguarding purposes.

Activities Programme

Children will be encouraged to join in one of the varied daily adult led activity sessions, such as junk modelling, playdough, cooking, loom bands, board games, seasonal arts and craft or nature activities, role play areas and construction games. Activities rotate to avoid duplication for children attending the same session each week. In addition, we will also provide suitable working areas with colouring pencils, paper, books and I-pads, for those who may wish to practice or extend their home learning and during the summer months, access to the outside areas including the woodland area and trim trail.
