‘J really looks forward to his PLUS days. More of them would be great! These are the only times he spends out with his family and we are totally confident of his safety and enjoyment – that’s a big PLUS!’

After School Club
After School Club is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Two sessions a week are for primary aged children.
“I like snack and the different games that we play. I also get to have quiet time if I want.” – YP Quote
“I love arts and crafts, bin bag fashion, making jewellery, painting nails, playing on the Wii and making our own snack. I also enjoy the treasure hunts and group games like duck duck goose. If it’s nice weather we go outside planting, playing on the slide or mini bowling with my friends. I miss After School Club when it’s the holidays.” – YP Quote
“The After School Club is a chance for me to meet up with friends, playing on the Wii and relax. I also get to prepare and eat snack!!” – YP Quote
“I know my son has a good time, he is safe and the staff really know him. I like that they get to feedback on the activities that they have done that afternoon and tell the staff if they liked or didn’t like it. I also like that they look at everyone’s ability and interests and make sure they are all fully included (if they want to be). When I collect him, there is always someone there to tell me what he has done that afternoon and how he has been.” – Parent Quote
