Wraparound Childcare
The primary purpose of our wraparound childcare (breakfast and afterschool) is to provide affordable and flexible childcare to Mossgate families and allow parents/carers flexibility around the school day in order to fit in with work and family life.
Run by school staff, we offer a welcoming, safe and caring environment which puts the needs of the children at the centre of everything we do. Our Mossgate Values and high expectations of behaviour extend to our wraparound care and children are expected to use these at all times.
Activities and snacks
We aim to provide children with a combination of enjoyable activities and time to relax after a busy and demanding day at school. The staff and children design the environment and activities so that a balance of adult/child led activities and play or rest opportunities are available each day to meet the range of ages, interests and needs.
Carb based snacks, cereal, fruit / vegetables and juice are available with the children encouraged to be independent in making choices and tidying up after themselves.
Charges
Breakfast club is based in the school hall and opens at 7:30am. We charge £3 from 7:30am and £2 from 8am. There is no requirement to pre-register your child to use the breakfast club and it can be used as flexibly as you need. Simply turn up on the morning, as often or as little as you need the facilities, for early morning childcare.
Our after school club runs from 3pm until 6pm with two charges - £5 before 4:30pm and and additional £5 if your child stays after 4:30pm.
Late fees
We appreciate that unforeseen circumstances can occasionally result in parents being late to pick up children. Please ring school to inform us of this. In the event that this happens on more than one occasion, parents will either be charged an after-school session (after 4:30pm) or a late fee (after 6pm). This debt must be cleared before any further sessions can be booked.
If children are not booked to attend after-school childcare and parents are late with normal school pick up, a £5 childcare fee will be made. This debt must be cleared before any further sessions can be booked.
