Extended Day

 

Early Club – 7.30am to 8.30am

If parents require an early start to their day, our Early Club provides fully flexible care just when you need it.

There is no need to pre-book and parents can leave safe in the knowledge that their youngest are in the care of experienced staff who will escort them to class together with any messages, ready to start the day.

A small fee applies dependent on time of arrival: £6 for children attending from 7.30am, £2.50 payable for arrivals after 8am, £1.50 is charged for children arriving at 8.20am.
