Wraparound Care

Lunch Club is the 30 minute period between the morning session ending and the afternoon session starting; 11.45am-12.15pm. During Lunchclub our Early Years practitioners will support children to have their lunch. This lunchtime care is outside the 15 or 30 hours of Free Early Education, so there will be a small fee for this service; £2.70 per lunchclub. There is no obligation for children to remain on the school site for lunchtime; parents/carers may collect children at the end of the morning and return them for the afternoon. Lunchclubs must be paid for at the start of each term and lunch is not provided, therefore children will require a packed lunch.
