Your First Day
For some, the first day at Breakfast Club can be a daunting experience for children, whilst for other children they can already have lots of friends in the club and they are raring to join in!
Our staff team is there to ensure every child has a great session at the club. We have a staff ratio of 1 adult to 8 children and one of the team is dedicated to ensuring new children are well integrated into the club.
They will introduce your child to a similarly aged child and show them around the club.
New children are marked on our daily register, this allows the staff team to ensure they are fully included into the club.
Once you have returned a completed a registration form, you will receive a letter confirming the days your child is booked into the Breakfast Club.
This letter contains details of the staff team, where the club is held, and the club mobile number. You are welcome to call the club at any stage to discuss how your child has settled into the club.
Parents and their children are also welcome to pop into the Breakfast Club at any time to visit and to have a look around before the first day. We like you to see us just as we are, and you are welcome to just turn up, you do not need to make an appointment to do this.
The staff team will have a detailed list of any special/additional needs that have been noted on the children's registration form of all children attending the club that half term. If your child has any specific needs, the club supervisor will be happy to discuss them with you.
The sessions allow the children to play freely with the wide range of games and equipment. The session has some structure and new, younger children or those who are shyer will be encouraged by the team to join in the activities that they want to.
During a typical session, children will arrive any time from 8.00am, and eat a healthy and nutritious breakfast. Children must arrive at the breakfast club before 8.40am to ensure we have time to provide their breakfast before school.
Once children have eaten their breakfast they are able to do activities that will prepare them for their day at school - drawing, games and some sports.
