Please collect your child before 5.45pm

It is important that you collect your child on time. We operate a system that makes a penalty charge for collecting your child late. This is to cover the additional staffing costs required for a member of staff to stay longer then their contractual hours. You can get details of the charging structure from the Club premises.

Each session currently costs £5 from Monday to Thursday and £10 for the longer session on a Friday. The whole week costs £27.50. Fees are subject to review at each AGM.

Fees should be paid at the end of each week and can be paid by cash, cheque, internet or telephone banking or childcare vouchers. Please ask the Club for details on how to pay electronically.

We support children with special dietary requirements.

Our Play Leader and the team, plan activities in advance for the children, and a wide range of art and craft work is always ongoing. The schedule for activities can be viewed at the Club and discussed with the Play Leader to assistants. Children are encouraged to join in, however, there is no set timetable for them to follow.

The staffing ratio is two adults at all times up to twenty children. The ratio is then one adult par ten children. Our ratios are smaller where we have younger children (preschool) in attendance.

Our Play Leader is currently being trained for the qualifications that are being recommended by the Care Commission and that will become mandatory later this year. We also plan to support the play assistants through similar training.
