About Us
As a grassroots not for Profit Company established in 2014, we understand the necessity of affordable, quality, flexible and inclusive school aged childcare for local families.
Children’s rights to rest, relax and play (UNCRC Article 31 1989) are at the heart of all our endeavours. School’s Out belongs to the children, it is their club and their ‘free time’. We as a team are privileged to play a small part in their journeys and share in creating new memories, excitement and fun.
Our work is underpinned by the Play Principles and we include a range of Play Types throughout our session’s i.e. messy play, active play, digital play, outdoor play and imaginary play.
We are committed to implementing the National Health & Social Care Standards and proudly work in partnerships with families, children, schools, local council, community services and social work to ensure all children in our care are Safe, Health, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, respected, Responsible, included.
