WELCOME NEW STARTERS
Welcome to Cookie Club Highbury, we are so excited that you and your family are joining us. We understand that there are lots of changes for children when they first start at The Cookie Club, especially if they are also starting at a new school too, and it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. Please have a look over this information with your child; it should answer lots of questions and help make things a little more familiar, ready for their first sessions. ​
After School at Cookie Club
Arriving at Cookie Club
Children are met in the school dining hall at the end of the school day where they will be signed in by our team members. They will be a familiar face to the children as they will be with them throughout the sessions at Cookie Club. We keep the school updated with who we’re expecting each day on a regular basis, so school staff will either bring children to the hall, or for older children, let them walk from their classrooms.
​
We have a great relationship with both schools and are able to discuss any important information at pick up time, and how children’s days have been. It is always important for you to let Cookie Club know if your child is no longer attending a session.
Time to Play, Teatime & Goodbyes
When children arrive at the club, they hang their things and wash their hands for snack. We sit down at the table and often talk about our day.
​
We then have a free play session; children are supported and encouraged to engage in activities. There are planned and topical activities on offer; some adult-led, many children's choice and always the opportunity to go outside if the weather allows us! We always ensure there is a quieter, cosy 'chill out area' available; we understand that it is often a long day, especially for our younger children.
​
We stop for a light tea at around 4:30pm and then continue to play until the children get collected.
Many of our staff work every day and there are also some that work a few days a week.
