We are open every day that Ashley Down Primary School is open. Our opening hours are from 3.15 until 5.40 and cost £9.50 per session per child (£10 from September 2021).
Our Play Facilitator, Rakel, and her team of playworkers and volunteers plan a session that will allow the children to relax and enjoy themselves after a day at school.
The children are collected from each site by qualified playworkers, running a walking bus from school. We collect children from the infants school (reception to year 2) from their classrooms, and meet the juniors (years 3-6) in the playground under the shelter by the year five classrooms.
Each child wears a high visibility vest until they arrive at the club, and we abide by safe ratios of children to adults, both on the walk and at the club.
On arrival at the club the children choose a healthy snack and a drink and then have some fun!
Children can choose from a variety of snacks, including items such as wraps, bread, rice cakes, cheese, ham, turkey, salami, carrots, peppers, cucumber, apples and satsumas. Drinking water is available at all times.
We provide a number of activities for the children. We have craft activities set up, free space for physical play, both inside the hall and in our outdoor play area. We have a range of sporting equipment to let off some steam, and enjoy games. We also have a quiet area for children wanting to take it easy, with colouring, plenty of books and comfortable bean bags to settle down on.
