Breakfast Club 7.30 - 9am
Breakfast is served between 8am - 8.30am.
Children arrive from 7.30am onwards and are provided with quieter activities compared to the afterschool club. Children assist the staff to prepare for breakfast, the older children will also assist in clearing breakfast before leaving the club to begin their school day. Breakfast includes a selection of healthy cereals, milk, buttered toast, jam or marmite, fresh fruit or fruit juice. Continental breakfast is often available a choice of ham, salami and cheese.
Afterschool Club 3.00 - 6.30pm
Tea is served to the children in year groups throughout the club hours until 5pm. A variety of activities are available on a daily basis to meet the needs of all children. Children have the choice of playing outdoors or indoors, they are accompanied at all times by a member of staff. Staff support and facilitate the play process; they act as advocates for play when the play has an adult led agenda. Children genuinely choose their play, they are free to develop their own interests, their own ideas in their own way.

Children need a packed lunch, we provide breakfast, drinks and a light snack at tea time for those children in attendance around 4.30pm. We are a Nut Free setting and we request that no foods containing nuts or nut products are brought into the environment. Our programme is available online.
