Types of childcare

Breakfast and after school clubs

Breakfast and after school clubs offer care before and after school to primary school-age children.

They usually open for approximately one hour before school and close at around 6pm, during term-time. Some clubs also provide a full day service during the summer holidays. Some offer transport to and from neighbouring schools.
