Dear Parent/Carer
Breakfast Club/Busy Bees After School Club
Since 2002 we have provided quality wraparound care for minimum costs with school subsidising the fees. Unfortunately, with an ever growing demand and increasing costs, the time has come for a slight increase in fees.
From Monday 14th September 2020 the session fees will be increased by 50p per session. Breakfast Club sessions will become £3.00 per day from 7.45 am and from 8.00 am £2.50 per day. Busy Bee sessions until 4.30pm will become £2.50 and until 5.00pm will become £3.50.
With social distancing measures in place, we politely ask that all payments are sent into school with your child in an envelope clearly marked with the days/dates/times you require. Signing out from Busy Bees will be completed by a staff member. All activities within the club sessions will continue in smaller bubbles to help with social distancing and assist any track and trace procedures that may be necessary.
We thank you for your continued support.
Mrs A L Edgar
Headteacher
We are pleased to be able to provide after school childcare in our Busy Bees club which runs Monday to Friday providing affordable childcare for all. The club is available to children from Reception to Year 6. Places can be booked in advance by calling into the club, situated in the Breakfast club room at the top end of the school - entry via the door in the car park.
Children MUST be collected by a responsible adult who has been identified to the Club Supervisors Miss Malley and Miss Edwards.
Places must be booked and paid for at least 24 hours in advance, please have correct payment in an envelope clearly marked with your child's name, the day and times required. Alternatively payments can now be made online using School Monies, to access this option you will require a link and password from the school office, payments are to be made 24 hours in advance of attending. Bookings made on the day will have an additional £2.00 fee. Please note that bookings are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to future bookings should your child fail to attend. Children collected after a booked 4.30 session will be charged £2.00 per 1/4 hour per child extra and anyone collecting later than 5pm will be charged at a rate of £10 for the first 1/4 hour and an additional £5 per 1/4 hour per child thereafter to cover the cost of extra staffing and the Site Supervisor.
If late collection occurs on 3 occasions your child's allocated place will be reviewed.

If you need to contact Busy Bees after school club in an emergency eg to inform staff you will be late, that your child will not be attending or an alternative person will be picking up etc please call 07593 507 563 this number is only available during club hours.
Children will be given a snack and a drink during the session, if your child has any allergies or dietary requirements please let the staff know.
During the club time children will engage in lots of activities, we make use of the whole school environment taking in the forest schools area, the gym, the hall, all of the playground areas for physical times, weather and availability taken into consideration. We also enjoy quiet activities to include board games, craft, cookery and group challenges.
Whilst this is a 'fun' club, children will be expected to behave in an acceptable manner and be respectful to staff members and other children. Unacceptable behaviour will need to be discussed with parents and staff members to resolve the situation.
