Morning and After School Care Club 

  

Leigh North Street Primary provide a very successful Morning and After School care club for 4 -11 year old children. Our clubs have a maximum of 50 places and a waiting list is kept. Ofsted reports have commented favourably in regard to our wrap-around childcare. In addition to this local schools and the Southend Local Authority have visited us to witness good practise and seek advice. All our staff have first aid and safeguarding training with the addition of key workers receiving food preparation/hygiene and first aid training. 

 

Please note that full payment is required half termly in advance unless alternative arrangements have been pre agreed with the School Business Manager or Headteacher. The school manages all financial aspects of childcare payments and is unable to hold any accounts in arrears. 
 
Should you encounter difficulties in making the full payment, we kindly request that you contact the school office as soon as possible to discuss alternative arrangements. Upon receipt of your email, we will provide official confirmation of any agreed arrangements. 
 
It is important to highlight those accounts in arrears may lead to the consideration of offering your child/ren's place to a family on our waiting list. Additionally, your arrears may be referred to the Southend Local Authority Debt Recovery Team.  

Children who have been unable to attend wrap around care due to illness, medical appointments, or other exceptional circumstances (as decided by the School Business Manager) will have their session fee deducted from their next half termly fee, as will fees for early closures at the end of the term. Please email the school office in good time if your child is unable to attend. 

 

Spaces will be prioritised for children with siblings already attending this provision. 

 

This provision provides several benefits: 

- Reassures working parents that their children are in a safe/familiar environment 

- Enables parents wishing to return to the work force 

- Morning Club helps children who are anxious about school by preparing them for the day ahead as this is a fun way to start. 

- A level 3 Staff member is always on sight.  

- Promotes interaction with children of differing ages. 

- Promotes healthy living as meals provided are in line with our Healthy Schools ethos. 

- Staff are employees during the school day at LNSPS. 

  

All children can take part in activities such as art and craft, Lego, movies (wet days), sports/playtime outside, homework, table tennis, drama, snooker, and board games. Children are also given the opportunity to just ‘chill.’   

 

Please see further details below and should you be interested in both/either club, please download an application form from our website or contact the school office.

All children will be picked up before 5:45pm from North Street entrance, the blue double gates. Under no circumstances will children be released to an unknown adult unless pre-arranged or a password is given. Children will not be permitted to walk home on their own, including in the summer months. 

  

Please call the After School Care direct number 075 1016 8114 when you arrive and your child/ren will be brought to you at the double blue gates along North Street for collection
