Breakfast/After School Club (Early Years & KS1)
We have SJ's Breakfast and After School Club every day at our Old Jamaica Road site for our Early Years and Key Stage 1 children. Full details of our wraparound care is below, including information on how to use after school vouchers (see bottom of page).
From Tuesday 7th January, payment and booking of sessions will be via the Arbor app.
The main difference with the Arbor booking session is that funds must be available to spend on your Wraparound care needs before you book. This means that you should top up your account and then book the sessions you require. The necessary amount will then be deducted from your top up amount. You may use this mechanism to pay additional funds ready to spend if you wish, but we are expecting parents to only put in the amount they anticipate spending in the immediate future.
An example would be a parent wanting to book 3 x Breakfast Club Sessions and 2 x full After School Sessions for the week. They would need to top up their account by £27.50, the full cost of those sessions. They then have enough credit to go ahead and book these sessions. The Arbor booking system does not allow you to go into arrears.
Those of you who use vouchers for your payments for wraparound care will be able to book without topping up as your vouchers will be added as they come through to our Finance Manager. If the vouchers do not fully cover the cost, you will be invoiced separately (as now) to cover the difference.
The monetary value of your account, either in cash or vouchers, will be displayed to you within the app so you can keep track of how much you have to spend. It is not possible to book a session without credit being available on your account.

We offer a variety of different breakfasts including cereal, bagels, fresh fruit, toast, and juice, so there is something for everyone to enjoy. The children are encouraged to eat a substantial breakfast to keep them going throughout the day. During this time the children can play quiet games, colour in or read in a safe environment until the start of their school day. |
There is a range of different activities for all age groups from outdoor games, planned play, use of ipads, and a range of crafts and group games are available - click below for our latest newsletter. We have themed weeks throughout the year; cooking, sewing, making a collage, colouring and other craft activities as well as playing and running egg and spoon races! We also take part in fundraising events for charities such as ‘Sports Relief’, ‘Children in Need’ and ‘Comic Relief’. |
