The bit either side of the school day

School hours and working hours have never matched. Our breakfast club, after school club and holiday club fill the gap — for children who have already started school, in a place they already know.

Breakfast club

From 7:00am

A calm start with breakfast and a play, then we walk your child into school in plenty of time. No rush, no stress, no forgotten book bags.

After school club

Until 6:00pm

We collect them from class, feed them a proper snack, and give them space to run about, do a craft, or just flop after a long day. Homework help if they want it.

Holiday club

Every school holiday

Six weeks of summer is a long time to cover. We run full days through the holidays — book the days you need.

How it works

Based at Shay Lane Primary School

Our school-age club runs from Shay Lane Primary School in Crofton, which means children in that school simply walk along to us — no minibus, no waiting about at the gate, no handover to strangers.

It is a separate Ofsted registration from our nursery, with its own staff team who know the children well. Many of them started with us as babies, which is rather lovely.

  • Book regular days or occasional ones, as your rota allows
  • We escort children to and from their classroom
  • Breakfast and after-school snacks included
  • Tax-Free Childcare accepted
  • Familiar faces from our nursery team

Places are limited and the popular days fill up first — especially summer. Get in touch early if you know your dates.

Questions

Things parents ask us

Can I book just one or two days a week?

Yes. Lots of families use us on the days that do not work with their shifts. Just tell us which days you need and we will confirm availability.

What if my child goes to a different school?

Give us a ring and we will talk it through — it depends on distance and timings, and we will be straight with you about whether it would work.

Can I use Tax-Free Childcare for the club?

Yes. Tax-Free Childcare works for school-age children right up to their eleventh birthday, so the government still adds £2 for every £8 you pay in.

Do you do holiday club in the summer holidays?

We do — and it is our busiest offer by a mile. Book as early as you can, particularly for the middle weeks of August.

Need cover for the school run?

Tell us the days you are stuck on and we will tell you straight away whether we can help.
