- Grab and Go breakfast 8.15am -8.20am – FREE – Breakfast items such as: pastries, fruit or yoghurts.
Juice is available at both sittings.
Parents and carers MUST book breakfast club places via the Arbor app to qualify for the FREE Breakfast and PAID breakfast club or may not be allowed to enter. This is for safety reasons as children must be on a register for purposes of fire safety policies.
We have lots of fun activities every morning from building blocks to board games but generally when the weather is fine, children will play outside to have an active start to their day.

We provide high quality wraparound care up until 5.45pm every day.
Children join Wraparound Care straight after school and can be collected by parents at any time up until the closing time.
Children have a substantial teatime snack, prepared fresh by our cook and fruit and juice is also on offer.
Whilst at Wraparound Care, children play with friends and take part in active activities and games.
COST:
- Reception to Year 6 children pay £7 up until 5.45pm
- Nursery children can stay until 4.30pm but only pay £4
- Siblings of children attending After School Clubs can stay until 4.15pm but this does not include the teatime snack and costs £3

Eligibility
Parents of three and four year olds will need to meet the following criteria in order to be eligible for 30 hours free childcare:
- They earn or expect to earn the equivalent to 16 hours at National Minimum or Living Wage over the coming three months.
- This equates to £120 a week (or £6,000 a year) for each parent over 25 years old or £112.80 a week (or £5,800 a year) for each parent between 21 and 24 years old.
- This applies whether you are in paid employment, self-employed or on zero hours contract.
- The parent (and their partner where applicable) should be seeking the free childcare to enable them to work.
- Where one or both parents are on maternity, paternity, shared parental or adoption leave, or if they are on statutory sick leave.
- Where one parent meets the income criteria and the other is unable to work because they are disabled, have caring responsibilities or have been assessed as having limited capability to work.
- Where a parent is in a ‘start-up period’ (example: they are newly self-employed) they do not need to demonstrate that they meet the income criteria for 12 months.
- If a non-EEA national, the parent must have recourse to public funds.
Note: Please be aware that the entitlement to a free place does not offer a guarantee of a place at any one provider or a particular pattern of provision.
