Early Birds and Owls

From September 2020-21, as a result of Covid, we were unable to run our provision as we had done, from the Nursery. Instead we ran our provision for the same hours from the school hall with children in tents. Provision was therefore necessarily more restricted to games, toys, colouring etc in the tent, with a light breakfast and after school snacks delivered to the tent 'door'. Since September 2021 we were able to remove the tents and the need for 'bubbles' and to create greater flexiblilty and choice for children but still within the hall space.

The provision then ran from the hall both mornings and afternoons because we needed the greater capacity due to the popularity of our provision. However once we introduced a booking system for parents with increased flexibility, numbers after school dropped to the point where in September 2024 we can once again run after school provision in the nursery.

Our club is run by Mrs Afzal, ably supported by Mrs Rush, Miss Bevan and Mrs Syeda.

Children have access to a wide range of activities and toys. Supplementary activities are available for older children such as access to laptops, craft activities and board games. Cooking and seasonal crafts are regular features of the club, as is time for reading or homework so that parents and children have less to do when they get home.

Early Birds: 7.45-8.55am with a light, healthy breakfast in the hall

Owls: 3.30-6.00pm with a light, healthy snack to keep children going until dinner at home, run from the nursery
