How do I register/book for sessions?
Registration and booking forms can be found on the Kids Club website or a paper copy can be given on request. In most cases sessions are booked for the whole year. If a more flexible arrangement is needed please speak to the Manager, Suzannah Keeves.
Who can attend Kids Club?
The breakfast and after school club sessions are open to all children aged 3-11 that attend Bowerham Nursery & Primary School. The Holiday provision is open to all 3-12 yr olds from across Lancaster and surrounding areas on completion of registration and booking forms.
What do I do if my child is off sick/going to be late to Kids Club?
Please ring or send a text to Suzannah on 07530367915 or Sam on 07805867741 if your child is off sick or is attending a club within school. Please contact us directly to inform us if your child will be late or absent.
What if I wants my child to attend a club at school?
Some children will attend school led or other external clubs, when this is the case we ask that you notify us directly so that we know that they will be late or need taking to a club. If they are attending a club within school we will collect them from or drop them off at that club. We would need to know what the club is, what time it is running and where it is being held.
What if I am unable to collect my child on time?
If you are running late or if you need someone different to pick up your child please notify us as soon as possible so that we can reassure your child. In line with our safeguarding policy and to help us keep children safe we would need to know who is collecting your child and a password.
How do I pay for sessions?
We offer a variety of payment methods and schedules. Payment can be made via, childcare vouchers, tax free childcare scheme and online (bank transfer). We do accept cash and cheque, but voucher and online payments are preferable. To help parents with childcare costs we offer monthly and termly payment plans.
What type of activities will my child have access to?
The type of activities that we have on offer depends on the age of the children and their interests. We offer a wide range of supervised activities both inside and outside. We involve children in planning activities with some being adult led whilst others are child led activities. All children aged 3-5 will have a named key person to assist them and to ensure that they have access to a range of activities and resources that supports their learning and development. Most importantly we want all children to be happy and feel safe during their time at the Club. We value input from children and parents so if there is anything you think we should know please tell us.
How does my child get to Kids Club?
All children are collected from their classrooms (by key stage) and then are escorted to the Club and registered with us. Parents/Carer need to sign the register when they collect their child/children.
