Early Bird Club

The role of our Early Bird Club is to offer a “holistic” service with a person-centred ethos in a safe environment. Our mains aims and priorities are to:-

Provide a healthy breakfast for the children in the scheme, to promote a good start to the day, which improves concentration and learning in class.
Assist in providing and supervising safe play activities for the children
Build self-esteem and confidence of children attending the club, by helping to develop relationships, both with peers and adults in an informal “family” environment.
Support parents who may wish to return to work or provide more flexibility in working hours for parents
