Explore St Peter’s Funclub

• To provide a fun, caring, happy, stimulating and safe environment for children and staff, before and after school and during school holidays.
• To offer a wide and interesting range of different activities which will allow children to use their energies constructively, to learn and to relax when needed.
• To provide parents with a stress-free, reliable, open and honest service, with as much flexibility as possible.
• To work with the school towards mutual goals and co-operate with any special arrangements wherever possible.

The Funclub is run by a fully qualified manager, Craig Radcliffe, together with a team of enthusiastic and caring staff. All staff are cleared by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to work with children.

Before school, at our breakfast club, children have the opportunity to eat a healthy breakfast, enjoy the indoor activities, play games, catch up with reading & homework, do some creative work or just chat with friends.

After school activities are planned to encourage as much outdoor time as possible, with lots of sports on offer such as; football, cricket, rounders, parachute games, obstacle races and other physical activities. The playground also offers the space and resources for the children to use their imagination and create fun exciting games.

Indoors, we offer a very varied programme of activities, such as baking, arts and crafts, talent shows, dressing up and role play, construction, model making, as well as offering support to children with those tricky homework tasks, and time for reading & spelling practice. Lots of toys provided enable the children to use their imaginations and be creative with their free play.

We always welcome other suggestions for activities from children and their families, and involve the children in the planning of activities to create a safe and fun environment.

Holidays are planned in advance to offer fun care, with at least two or three outings each week. We offer activities at the school such as puppets, textile crafts, and many other lively activities. Outings on offer are varied and fun, using public transport, coaches and often by foot. Examples of outings would be Harlow Carr, Valley Gardens, the Cinema, Knaresborough and the museums of Leeds and York. We also travel further afield during the summer months to the scarecrow festival at Kettlewell and to various other locations by coach.

For the breakfast club we provide a drink, fruit, toast and cereals each morning, not to replace breakfast, but as a little extra for children who arrive early.

For the after school, we provide a healthy light tea from 3.15pm to 4pm, this may be toast, soup, sandwiches, salad or fruit, and again this is not to replace an evening meal but to provide an afternoon drink and snack for hungry children.

During school holidays, we provide the above and we ask you to please provide a packed lunch. Children are offered drinks and healthy snacks during the day.

Fees will be invoiced at the beginning of each month, and are payable in advance of attendance. Failure to pay on time means that a late payment fee of £5 per child per week overdue will be charged, and your child’s place may be withdrawn. Late collection fees apply if you fail to collect your child before closing time: £5.00 per 15mins after 6:30pm term time or 6:00pm during holidays.

Did you know that you can pay using most childcare vouchers, saving a significant amount of Tax and National Insurance? Please ask your employers if this could be an option for you.

If you would like to pay us directly into our account then please contact us and we ill supply you with our bank details.

If you do make any direct payments please supply your child’s name as a reference.

Prior to joining Funclub we request that you complete an enrolment form (see downloads below). Bookings for fixed sessions need to be made in advance, with four weeks written notice or fees in lieu for any changes or cancellations. This ensures we always have the correct staffing ratios for the number of children attending. Additional sessions may be booked at short notice, subject to availability.

Bookings for children attending St. Peter’s school will be given priority (term time). Any remaining places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

If any person other than the usual carer is collecting your child we must be informed beforehand. The person collecting must be known to the child and will be asked to provide identification or a password. We must also be informed if your child is booked into a session, but will not be attending. This is for the security of your child, to ensure they are picked up from school and accounted for at the end of the school day.

Please note that our insurance does not cover your child before 7.30am or after 6pm. Children must not be dropped off before this time, or collected later than 6pm.
