Afterschool club
A welcoming space where children can relax, play, and feel at home.
Our Afterschool Club is designed to give children a safe, familiar and enjoyable place to unwind at the end of the school day. Older children use the spacious ground-floor rooms and the nursery garden, both of which provide plenty of room to relax, move, explore and play.
We offer a range of areas and activities to suit different personalities and interests — whether your child prefers a lively activity or a calm, cosy spot to recharge. Children can enjoy:
Art and craft sessions
Games and group play
Sports and outdoor activities
Chats with friends
Reading or quiet time
Homework, with staff on hand to support
Our aim is to create an environment where children feel comfortable, welcomed and free to choose activities that suit how they’re feeling that day.
A varied weekly programme
We plan a rotating programme of activities across our breakfast, afterschool, and holiday clubs, offering a balance of fun, creativity, learning and rest.
Children help us shape some of the activities too — their ideas and interests are often at the heart of our plans, especially during the holiday play-schemes.
A consistent, caring team
Our Afterschool Club is supported by a large team of experienced staff, including a dedicated group who work specifically within the club to ensure:
Consistent care
Familiar faces
Reliable routines
Smooth transitions from school to nursery
All staff are DBS-checked, paediatric first-aid trained, and experienced in supporting children’s wellbeing after a busy school day.
School collections and flexible options
During term time, we will collect your child from school and walk them safely back to the nursery. Once here, they can enjoy:
Tea together in a relaxed environment
Adult-led activities
Independent play
Outdoor time (weather permitting)
A calm end to their day before heading home
We also offer Breakfast Club, where children arriving from 8am can enjoy cereals, toast and other breakfast choices before being walked to school.
Holiday Playscheme
During school holidays, we run a full Holiday Playscheme packed with engaging activities and themed days. Children often help us come up with ideas, giving them ownership and excitement about what’s coming next.
Full-day or half-day bookings are available depending on your childcare needs.
Our holiday play-scheme prices include:
Breakfast (8am arrivals)
Lunch
Tea
Snacks and drinks throughout the day
This creates a convenient all-inclusive childcare option for families.
A gentle, confident start
Before your child joins us for Breakfast Club, Afterschool Club or the Holiday Playscheme, we invite you to come in for a visit. This gives you and your child the opportunity to:
Look around the environment
Meet the team
Ask questions
Build familiarity and confidence
We want every child to feel settled, welcomed and excited from their very first day.
