Brighton Downs After School Club

The After School, Breakfast and Holiday clubs take place in the school canteen at Downs Junior School.

The school canteen is newly built and is an excellent location for our club. The canteen has lots of space for indoor play, and we also have use of the large playground outside. We are also able to use the adventure playground.

Our After School & Breakfast Clubs are open every day that Downs Junior School is open for children from Downs Junior and Downs Infant Schools. Junior children make their own way to the canteen and infant children are collected directly from their class and walked to the club by our team.

Breakfast Club: 8.00am until start of school.

After School Club: End of school day until 6.00pm

We are open every school holiday to children from around the local area from 8.30am until 5.30pm.
