I have worked in the Early Learning and Childcare sector for over twenty years and have gained both SVQ qualifications and the BA Childhood and Youth Studies degree. It has always been my absolute passion to shape and nurture the minds of young children and I find it such a fulfilling and rewarding profession.
The 1140 government funded hours per year can be used flexibly from 8am-6pm, Monday - Friday term time (please refer to our calendar for dates). Management will discuss this during enrolment in February, to advise and support your choice. Placements will then be confirmed but can be changed if required prior to your child starting should your needs change during this time.
Our weekly Forest School aims to enhance the children's learning in an outdoor environment. We will provide opportunities for the children to engage with nature, learn new skills and discover the world through outdoor play. The learning will be child led with the teachers acting as facilitators. Forest School has a holistic approach to child development having an overall positive impact on the children.
Operating during term time, from 8am, Breakfast Club offers a quiet, warm and welcoming start to your child's day. Breakfast is served buffet-style, allowing children a healthy choice of foods and drink before being escorted to school by our staff. There is a range of appropriate indoor and outdoor activities to ease them gently into the day.
Out of school club provides a great opportunity for friends to meet up and socialise after school with activities that stimulate, challenge and are great fun! We try to cater for all individual dietary requirements and preferences by offering alternatives. If your child would like to bring their own after school snack, they are most welcome to.
