Breakfast Club and After School Club:

 

Barming Primary School has provision for childcare at the start and end of the school day. This provides a secure and stimulating environment for your children. The Headteacher oversees the quality of the provision. 

 

September 2024 to 2025 Prices:

Breakfast Club: £4.50

After School Club: £10

 

Please book via Arbor!

 

We currently accept: Computershare, Kiddivouchers, Edenred, Sodexo, BusyBees, Fideliti, CGPS and Government Tax Free Childcare.

 

About the provision: 

The school organises this provision for our families in order to support our working families, however, it does run independently. 

Therefore, if you have any messages for school staff (not staff working during wraparound care) can I please ask our families to go through the proper channels and contact the school directly via the following means: 

 

  • Contacting your child’s class teacher (Key Stage Leaders/ Family Support Worker etc.) via the school office or ClassDojo.
  • Emailing the school office or Inclusion Manager, Mrs Stere and stating ‘For the attention of…’ (FAO). 
  • Speaking to your child’s class teacher face to face during pick up times. 
  • Telephoning the school office. 

 

Families need to ensure that our wraparound care can meet the needs of your child(ren) as it is independent of the school and therefore additional adult support, such as key workers, are not available at this time as it is a separate paid for service.   If your child(ren) need additional support at all times or require smaller settings, we do advise you to look for alternative provision.   We know a couple of lovely child minders and we are happy to share their details with you individually, on request. 

Thank you for your support in these matters.

Kind regards

Mr C. Laker

Headteacher
