Breakfast & After School Club

Whitelands Park offers a Breakfast & After School Club facility.  We provide a safe, happy, positive and welcoming setting that promotes a cultural and social diversity in a “home from home” environment.

Children have the freedom to choose the games they wish to play, individually or collectively and optional activities are available also.  

Both clubs are Ofsted Registered and are run by qualified staff.  The clubs have a minimum staff ratio of 1:8, with a minimum of two staff on duty at any one time.

The Breakfast Club runs from 8.00am to 8.45am (school starts) and children are taken to their respective classrooms by the staff unless parents have opted for them to go independently (written permission must be given).  A nutritious breakfast is also provided.  The cost is £2.50 a session.

The After School Club runs from 3.15pm to 6.00pm (Monday to Thursday).  Children can be collected from their classrooms if requested.  A healthy snack is also provided.  The costs from September 2018 are:

3.15pm to 4.00pm - £3.00

3.15pm to 5.00pm - £5.50

3.15pm to 6.00pm - £7.50

For both Clubs:

• Places should be booked and paid for in advance using the relevant form.
• One-off and unplanned days can be catered for but this is subject to availability.  Booking forms will need to be completed and a registration fee must be paid.
• If your child’s attendance becomes a regular occurrence, you will be allocated a permanent place, with associated fees paid in advance.
• Cheques must be made payable to “Whitelands Park School”.  Please write your child’s name (s) on the reverse and which club your child(ren) is attending.
• A charge of £10 per 15 minutes will be applied for late collection.

Sickness, Accidents, First Aid and Emergencies

If a child is absent from school, the Play Leader will be informed.  If a child becomes unwell during a club session, every attempt will be made to contact the parent / carer or one of the emergency contacts to arrange collection.  The child will be cared for until collection.

In case of a minor accident, our qualified staff will administer First Aid.  In case of an accident requiring more than basic First Aid, every attempt will be made to contact the parent / carer to advise or discuss the course of action to be taken.  Please note:  If the parent / carer cannot be contacted in time, the Play Leader will seek appropriate medical treatment for the child.

All accidents are entered in the Accident / Incident Register Book and an accident form will be sent home with the child.
