Breakfast and After School Club

The Breakfast and After School Club at Cromwell has access to some fantastic facilities and space, allowing us to provide a wide range of activities for your child to enjoy and explore that stimulate their imagination. This includes creative themes, role play, construction and physical outdoor play, as well as offering comfortable areas for your child to relax when needed, such as curling up with a book or watching a movie, all within a safe environment. In addition, we offer a variety of healthy food choices to meet dietary requirements.

Breakfast and After School Club is a fantastic way for your child to socialise with other children within the Primary Phase outside of their classroom environment, to develop friendships, support each other and have fun together!

Opening Times

We open at 7:30am and cannot accept responsibility for children before that time. A responsible person (16 years or over) must drop them off, so please do not leave your child in the playground or drop them off at the gate.  The Breakfast and After School Club Manager will collect children from the classroom at 3:15pm and they will then be registered at the club. Breakfast and After School Club will only run when the school itself is open for the children. For example, it will not be open during the school holidays or on teacher training days.

Collection

Breakfast and After School Club closes promptly at 5:30pm (5:00pm on Fridays) and all children must be collected by this time, late collection beyond your booking time will incur a charge of £1 for every 15 minutes however if this is after 5:30pm (or 5:00pm on Fridays) then the charge will be £1 per minute.

When you collect your child, they will be marked out and their time of collection. This is essential as the register is used as a checklist in case of a fire.  No child may leave without being accompanied by a nominated person. If you have arranged for someone else to collect your child(ren) then you must speak to a member of staff or contact the Main Office who will make sure a message gets to relevant staff. If this is not done, we will not allow your child to leave unless we have spoken to you and sought permission.

Only nominated persons will be allowed to collect children from the Club, and they must be aged 16 years or over. At the end of an evening session if a responsible adult fails to turn up and we are unable to contact any of the named persons on the registration form, we will follow the school procedures for a “left child” (if there is no contact with responsible person within 30 minutes, Social Care will be contacted).
