Welcome to 'The Zone' 

The Zone Before and After School Club are committed to working in partnership with parents and carers, to provide safe, varied and enjoyable childcare. We aim to help parents balance work commitments and family life by providing flexible, convenient and affordable high quality care.

 

Our mission is to provide the best possible environment for the children we care for, offering an excellent range of toys and fun activities in a safe and secure environment. We provide good quality food, that encourage healthy choices.   We listen to every child’s opinions, values, and interests and always ensure that our provision is child-centred.

 

The Zone is our before and after school club offering stimulating and enjoyable  provision for children of all school ages that operates in our school hall. The club is open from 7.30am in the morning until the start of the school day. After school, the club operates from immediately at the end of the school day until 5.45pm.

 

The club is very popular and provides children with the opportunity to take part in a variety of learning activities including art and craft, construction, food technology and sports.

What we Offer:

 The club is open from 7.30am in the morning until the start of the school day. After school, the club operates from immediately at the end of the school day until 5.45pm.  Parents are asked to book children into 'The Zone' in advance, either by contacting the school office or directly through Mrs Hobster, the Zone Manager.  However, we do appreciate that unforeseen situations often arise and therefore always endeavour to meet parents requirements for 'The Zone' at short notice and on an 'as and when' basis.

 

There is a variety of activities on offer, both morning and afternoon.  We want children to feel that the The Zone, is very much an extension of what may be on offer at home, which is why we always listen to the children and take account of their interests.  Activities can include, free play indoors and outside, cooking, crafting, theme nights, movies, computing, Wii games and many more.
