Extended Services
We have offered Extended Services at St John's with our Breakfast Club and Afterschool Club for many years. We feel it is an essential service to support our families with the demands of their working commitments and offer a safe and secure environment where children can be looked after seamlessly before and after school. As a result, we are committed to providing affordable childcare and our Extended Services are non-profit making. We endeavour to keep our fees at the lowest possible level to provide and maintain a high-quality service.
Afterschool Club – this provides secure childcare for all children at St John's School. Within this setting, children can partake in many activities and all children will receive a healthy snack. This club will run after school until 6pm for everyone and our one flat rate will be £8.00 per day and £7.00 for siblings.
Breakfast Club – a secure place where children can enjoy a healthy breakfast in a relaxed environment whilst interacting with their friends. This will be available from 7.50am and will be charged at a rate of £4.50.
