Home / Parents / School Office / Childcare Provision

Childcare Provision

Primary Schools are now required to publish alongside their Performance information a list of their childcare provision making it easier for parents to know what is available.

The wraparound childcare will open term time only for children in reception through to Year 6 on Monday to Friday from:

  • 8am – 8.45am for Breakfast Club and
  • 3.15pm – 6pm for Tea Time Club

Our clubs are run by school staff. All staff are all enhanced DBS checked and conform to all of the school’s employment requirements. Appropriate adult:child staffing ratios will be maintained at all times.

Breakfast Club

Children should arrive via the pedestrian gate and be brought to the main reception office where a member of staff will record their attendance. Children may arrive from 8am with last admission at 8.35am.

Sessions must be booked and paid for in advance using ParentPay. The cost is £1 per child, per day regardless of whether or not your child eats.

Breakfast includes a choice of toast, crumpets, pastries, cereals, yoghurts, fruit, juice, water and milk.

All costs are subject to change depending on staffing and food costs.

Tea Time Club

There are 5 options for after school care:

  • Option 1 – 3.15pm – 4pm £2 per child
  • Option 2 – 3.15pm – 5pm £5 per child
  • Option 3 – 4.15pm – 5pm (following your child’s attendance at after school club) £3 per child
  • Option 4 – 3.15pm – 6pm £8 per child
  • Option 5 – 4.15pm – 6pm (following your child’s attendance at after school club) £6 per child

A selection of fruit and light snacks will be available for pupils staying in the Tea Time Club beyond 4pm.

Sessions must be booked through ParentPay – the deadline for booking Tea Time Club is 11.59pm on Thursday of the previous week – this is to ensure that the appropriate staffing levels can be put in place to supervise children, maintain adult:child ratios and also order the appropriate stock levels for snacks. All booked sessions must be paid for at the time of booking. The 11.59pm Thursday deadline also applies to any changes to bookings or cancellation of bookings. Registers for the following week will be provided to club supervisors.

Under extenuating circumstances, late bookings will be considered, but not guaranteed. Parents/Carers Must contact the school office directly to request this.

When collecting your child, please phone the mobile on 07345195432 to gain the attention of a member of staff (the school office will be closed after 3.40pm). Your child will then be brought to the office and you will be given access through the gate for you to come to the office to collect your child.
