Big Buddies Breakfast, After School & Holiday club
Big Buddies is a school run wrap around care service designed to provide our families with competatively priced childcare support.
Breakfast Club
Our Breakfast Club runs from 7.30am until 8.45am Mondays to Friday (term time only). The children are able to enjoy a variety of activities until it’s time to tidy away, at which point a member of the Buddies team will escort the children to the main school and supervise whilst the children enter their respective class rooms ready to begin the school day.
After School Club
Big Buddies After School Club runs daily from 3.15pm until 6.00pm. Breakfast and after school club sessions can be booked for up to a maximum of 6 weeks in advance although we do require for sessions to be paid for upfront at the time of booking.
Buddies also run a holiday play scheme which operates during the school holidays, from 8 am until 6 pm daily, Monday to Friday. Big Buddies offers a range of options in regards to sessions that can be booked.
Booking information
Buddies Childcare use an online booking system called Schoolcomms. Any parent/carer wishing to access childcare will need to complete a registration form before being able to access the Schoolcooms booking system. The Directors of the company have a clear policy to ensure that all families have fair access to the childcare facilities. These include:
- All childcare bookings must be paid for in advance and booked at least 24 hours before the designated session. This is to ensure that adequate levels of staffing are in place.
- The use of childcare vouchers has to be agreed with the company in advance of children attending sessions
- No child should be sent to Buddies without payment being made in advance and expect to be given childcare.
For further information regarding registration, booking and fees, please either contact the Buddies Administrator, Mrs Rhiannon Keating, via the school office (Monday, Tuesday and Friday 8am - 4pm) or contact the Play Leader, Mrs. Lesley Andrews, on 01752 336556. Alternatively, information packs are available from the School Reception Office.
