If your school is looking at their wraparound provision, either replacing existing provision or setting up brand new provision, we would love to talk to you to see how we can support your school, families and children.
We offer outstanding, quality childcare, and are one of the first successful providers to work with local authorities to provide out of school childcare for local schools. We have continued to remain as a leading provider and are one of the few providers who have maintained their 100% Ofsted record since opening in 2002. We are also one of the few providers that have continued to provide services for children aged from 3 years old meaning that we can service the full school age range from 3 years – 11 years.
Nearly all our current venues have been based on word of mouth, or recommendations where schools have approached us to provide the quality childcare for their parents and children.
We pride ourselves on being more than just a service to the schools and families that we support. We understand the practical and logistical demands and challenges that schools face and we are here to support through the various different services that we can provide. All of our clubs are unique and so our highly experienced, qualified and dedicated team will work with your school to tailor our provision to meet your needs and the needs of your families and school community.

Our Breakfast Clubs ensure that the children start their day in the right way. Our healthy, balanced and nutritious breakfast is coupled with our engaging yet calm and mindful environment to ensure that the children are energised and ready for their busy day ahead at school.
We provide an array of breakfast items to chose from including cereals, bread items such as toast, crumpets and croissants, yoghurts, fresh fruit, porridge, soft boiled eggs and cereal bars as well as milk, water and fresh fruit juice. Our breakfasts are a social occasion for our children as well as actively supporting independence as the children make their own breakfast choices and serve themselves with the support of our staff.
Get Set
Within our environment, we ensure that there are a range of activities and zones for the children to freely navigate once they have finished their breakfast. Within the session we also incorporate mindfulness activities and physical activities to get the brain and body in the mindset ready and active for school.
We work with our schools to ensure that there is an agreed handover point for our shared children to ensure that they arrive at their classrooms safely and are ready to Go.
Our Breakfast Clubs normally opens at 7:30am and run until the school day begins, typically 08:30am, thereby giving parents and children time to settle down for your day ahead.
