Out of School Care for YR to YR6
Breakfast Club
Our Breakfast Club opens at 7.45am every day. Children are entered on to the register on arrival, and hang their bags and coats on designated pegs. The children are encouraged to sit down as a group to eat breakfast. After breakfast, they may choose an activity or play outside (weather permitting) until it is time to be escorted to school.
Children attending Fairfield Infant School and Bosmere Junior School are escorted to school on foot.
After School Club
 Children are met outside their classrooms or at their school entrance by a Glenhurst Play Worker, who will check names against the daily collection list. Parents are required to inform the Glenhurst Office if their child is absent from school. Play Workers will do their utmost to ensure that children have got bags, coats and other items with them, but cannot be responsible for items left at school. Children are escorted to Glenhurst on foot. On arrival, their names are entered onto the register.
Children are able to choose from a variety of indoor or outdoor games and activities. There are climbing and balancing activities, skipping, hopscotch, ball games and other games. There are two classrooms set aside for the After School Club children, which have a range of puzzles, board games, construction kits, bricks and cars. The library is also available to the After School Club, and is well stocked with both fiction and non-fiction, suitable for all ages. There is a piano in the library on which children can practice.
Tea takes place from 4.30pm to 5.00pm. The children sit together to eat in the dining room. Glenhurst staff ensure good hygiene and encourage good table manners. A healthy tea is freshly prepared on the premises by one of the Glenhurst team. On occasions, the Play Workers may organise cookery sessions, where the children prepare and cook their own tea under supervision. In the summer months the children can eat outside on the lawn or at the picnic table.
After tea children may take part in supervised homework sessions, or be heard to read. They may also practice musical instruments in the library, or borrow a book to read. Otherwise, children may choose an activity, such as arts and crafts, join in a game or with singing or storytelling organised by one of the Play Workers. |
