Wraparouond 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. We believe that this an important part of the day and creating time and space for playing makes a valuable contribution to supporting children’s health, creativity, and well-being.
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.
- We show kindness to all.
- We are responsible in everything we do.
- We respect others and property.
- We are honest.
- We are courteous to all.
- We use courage to challenge ourselves and others.
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.
