Our Ethos
Our After-School Club provides a fun, relaxing, safe and secure community, where all the children are encouraged to choose activities that reflect their interests. It is our expectation that all the children will socialise with their peers and show respect.
Each child is respected as a unique individual and we support each child’s transition from school and Pre-school to our After-school Club, to ensure a smooth changeover.
We work in partnership with parents and actively encourage them to become involved in all aspects in the life of our After-school Club.

- Our keyperson system ensures that each child feels secure and that their families are given feedback after each session about their behaviour and activities that the children have been engaged in.
