Silsoe Care Club
We have a highly popular Care Club which offers wrap around care. Staff supervise the morning session from 7.50am to 8.50am and escort the children to their classes ready for the start of the school day. Our after school session runs from 3.30pm to 6.00pm and healthy refreshments are provided.
A whole range of exciting activities are available during both sessions including painting, puppets, clay, a home corner, outside activities, large construction, board games, jigsaws, and computers.
Session prices are £4.50 per hour and were last reviewed by Governors in October 2018.
Care Club takes Silsoe Pre-School children from the age of three and all children attending Silsoe Lower School.
We are registered for 32 children in Early Birds and 40 children in After School Club with a staff ratio of 1:8
Due to licensing restrictions school is unable to expand the numbers in our club at this present time. Please be assured that every effort is made to ensure that the club is run safely and efficiently and we will endeavour to accommodate as many requests as we can.
Information for Current Members (updated March 2018)
New booking forms for the academic year starting in September 2018 have been sent to all existing members. Parents/Carers have been informed in writing of their allocated sessions.
Session Changes
Children accessing Care Club within the current term are given the opportunity to request session amendments before places are allocated to new starters. We confirm any requests for session amendments one term in advance and one week before places are allocated to new members.
Waiting List for Current Members
We will endeavour to be as flexible as possible however there is a limitation on the total number of sessions available. In the event that sessions are full, we will maintain a waiting list and the following criteria will be applied (in the rank order shown) to decide the order in which sessions will be allocated:
1. Those families already using the Club
2. Siblings of children in Silsoe Lower school already attending the club.
3. Siblings of children in Silsoe Pre-school already attending the club.
4. New families of Silsoe Lower school registering for the club.
5. New families of Silsoe Pre-school registering for the club.
Any requests to defer additional sessions once places have been confirmed will be treated as a new request on the waiting list.
Starting Autumn Term 2018/Admissions for New Members
We have received a significant increase in admissions requests for Care Club for the start of the new academic year in Sept 2018. This includes for both existing pupils and new starters. As a result we have had to close accepting any new applications at present from non-members. If circumstances change and spaces become available we will update accordingly.
Places for new admissions are offered on an annual basis, with mid-term start dates available on an ad-hoc basis where there is availability. It is recommended that children wishing to attend Silsoe Lower School Care Club are registered as early as possible, so that they can be placed on the waiting list which is arranged on a first come first served basis. Places will then be allocated in accordance with our admissions policy detailed in the Care Club Information Booklet below.
