BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CLUB

We offer a “Before and After School club” facility for children aged between 4 -12 years. The service is primarily for parents who need child care because of work commitments, but we are available for those of you who are studying or have appointments etc. The facility is open all year, excluding Bank holidays and some Station stand-downs.

During term time we are open 7:00 – 9:00 am 15:00 – 18:00pm (if required)

During school holidays/half terms we are open 7:00-18:00pm (if required)

During term-time we only offer a minimum of a 2 hour session 3-5pm, after this time half-hourly bookings until 6.00pm are accepted.

Your child will be escorted to and from the Cherry Tree Infant Academy in the morning and afternoon. Staff members will escort the children down to Cherry Tree Junior Academy and will collect them after school.

We offer a safe, secure and fun environment for your children. The qualified enthusiastic staff will give all children opportunities to be creative, imaginative and “physical” to enjoy their time spent here.

They will be provided with a snack when they arrive from school such as toast with various toppings, crumpets, fruits, veg sticks, etc. We have a wide range of equipment to suit all ages and interests; these include games such as Disney Trivial Pursuit, Junior Scrabble and Chess to name just a few. Numerous craft activities including painting and collage, construction sets, books and dressing up clothes are also available. On the more physical side, we have a 5-a-side football pitch, basketball court, climbing frame activity centre, bats and balls, newly installed trim trail area and skipping for outdoor play. Inside we have a computer with speakers and printer, a football table and a Wii games console with HD TV, and much more. Children will also have the chance to do their homework if they wish.

We will strive to ensure all children are happy here. It is their Club and they will be encouraged to be involved in the planning of activities. 

Parents will be required to complete registration forms and sign a contract detailing Conditions of Attendance. For further information or to book a place please phone 01760 446161 or Ext 6161.
