We offer a friendly and relaxed environment for your child to enjoy after the school day

We welcome children from all schools, who are 4 years old and in reception up to their 13th birthday. It’s a great place for your child to make new friends.

Our experienced staff take a keen interest in each child’s development, providing fun activities which meet their social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional needs. There’s a new unusual activity every week, as well as monthly themes, and plenty of opportunity to play outside and explore nature.

With the Outdoor Learning Lodge the staff and children can spend plenty of time in the outdoors no matter what the weather and in the spring/summer time they are looking forward to attending to the garden and growing their own vegetables and fruits.

Our team are always busy planning activities around various topics such as our town and homes, ourselves, pets and animals, gardening and seed week, fruit and vegetables and many more. The activities that are provided will be both inside and out and will include a variety of resources.

A typical day at After School Club

The children arrive at the centre and have the opportunity to socialise with their friends and choose toys and equipment that they’d like to play with.

Once all the children have arrived, we have a healthy snack. The children help to make their snack, clear up afterwards, and are encouraged to try new foods.

After their snack, the children can play with our vast range of toys, get creative at the craft table, play outside in our secure play area, and generally have fun with their friends until their parents collect them.
