Children's Programmes
Safeguarding children is paramount to our practice to ensure children are always safe. We will work closely with parents, school teacher, other professionals and the local authority to ensure we meet individual children’s needs and interests. We recognise the value in our children and understand that they are the future generation, therefore, we will provide quality care and experience to ensure they get the best start in their education. We look forward to work in close partnerships with you to support your child’s learning and development. We received funded through DFE for our holiday programme. We are registered as a provider to accept tax-free childcare and universal childcare support.
After School Club
We are proud to offer a quality after school club for children to play, learn and develop. The club places are for children in reception class and up to year 6. We provide a wide range of stimulating indoor and outdoor opportunities suitable for children to enjoy and to help them extend their skills further.
Tuition Club
Our tuition session is for children in year 4 to year 6 to do lesson in Mathematics and English. It is a great way to boost the confidence of children and to prepare them for the Year 6 SATs test, in order to ensure that they are working at the level required for secondary education. The sessions feature small group dynamics, allowing for more focused attention on each student. Beyond content review, the extra tuition sessions emphasise exam strategies and time management skills. Students will be taught how to approach different question types, manage their time effectively during the exam, and employ critical thinking skills to solve problems. Practical tips and techniques are shared to alleviate exam-related stress and boost students' confidence in their abilities.

Feedback
This provision meets requirements
Children enjoy their time at this welcoming and well-run club. They arrive happily after school and quickly settle into their chosen activities. Staff have positive relationships with the children and are sensitive and attentive to their individual needs, quickly identifying when some children need reassurance or emotional support. Staff place children's emotional well-being at the heart of everything they do. Children take part in a broad variety of well-organised indoor and outdoor activities.
Children have plenty of opportunities to be physically active. For example, younger children enjoy games, such as table football and carefully hit the coloured balls into the pockets on a pool table, with the support of skilful staff. Staff provide healthy and nutritious snacks for the children to enjoy with their friends. Children are given plenty of time and space to explore their own ideas and interests, and they make strong friendships. They are very calm, and purposefully engage in their play. Staff follow the interests of the children. For example, they join in and engage well in role play in the well-equipped home corner area with the younger children. Children behave exceptionally well. They understand the clear boundaries and expectations that staff have of them.
