Little Octopus Breakfast Club and Little Starfish After Nursery Club

Our clubs aim to provide excellent childcare for Little Fishes Nursery children who have turned three. The club is run in line with the ethos of the nursery and the school on the school premises.

Little Fishes Interim Supervision

If your child is attending Little Fishes Starfish after-school club there is a £1 charge to cover the extra supervision needed for the gap between when the nursery ends and when Little Starfish starts (this is included in the ASC fee). This is payable via Childcare Bookings who manage the Breakfast and After School clubs bookings. This MUST be pre-booked and paid for.

Activities on Offer

A number of planned activities will be on offer. These will vary from day to day and week to week. Activities may include games in the main hall, cooking, painting, drawing and craft, board games, activities on the field or playground, and music.

Making a Booking and Payment

The booking, payment & administration of the breakfast & after-school clubs is outsourced to Childcare Bookings for Schools. Please see further information on our Octopus and Starfish Clubs page.

If your child is due to start nursery in September, please see the Childcare Bookings New Starter letter on the New Parents and Carers Page with instructions for registering interest. Please select Pre-School for year group.

Wrap around childcare for Armed forces Families

Wraparound childcare (WAC) is available to all eligible Service personnel in the UK.

Service personnel can apply for up to 20 hours per week, term time only (39 weeks per year) of wraparound childcare funding for 4 to 11-year-old children attending before and after school clubs in the UK.
