PAGE TO BE UPDATED WITH NEW COVID-19 PROCEDURES 

​Once you’re booked in all you have to do is turn up on the day! If it is your child's first time with us, we recommend letting your child's teacher know they will be attending PLAYtarium.

For breakfast club, please line up at the gate. At 7.45am the gate will be opened and you can escort your child to our hut you will need to sign them in. After 8.00am the gate will be closed so you will need to call our collection number for entry  (07482 156767). A member of staff will be with you shortly to collect and welcome your child.

For after school club we will collect your child from their classroom (please ensure you have written this correctly on their online entry form!) at the end of the school day and bring them to PLAYtarium.

When arriving to collect your child, as the gates are locked for the whole session and you will need to call our collection phone (07482 156767). We recommend calling 5-10 minutes before your arrival so we can help get your child ready to leave. You may experience delays if you do not call ahead.


​As we care for up to 60 children in the afternoon, for the first hour we take KS2 children to the scout hut to have snack and play. After 4.30pm, when our numbers have reduced, the Juniors then join KS1 in the PLAYtarium Hut.

>> Have a look at the Scout Hut's Facebook Page <<

If you are collecting your child before 4.30pm we advise calling 10 minutes before your arrival to reduce waiting time.

Snack

SNACK PROCEDURE WILL BE UPDATED

We recognise the importance of good nutrition for children. That’s why a healthy breakfast, drink and afternoon snack are provided each day. Breakfast is served until 8.15am. Using fresh ingredients, afternoon sn
ack is available between 3.30-4pm where children can help themselves to what they fancy eating. Fruit is available for the rest of the session. 

​Y
our child is encouraged to fill their own plate, pour their own drinks, and to clear away after themselves. This is a great way of promoting independence and self-confidence.
