Children are met in the school dining hall at the end of the school day 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 school staff and are able to discuss any important information and how children's days have been at pick up time.

​

When children arrive at the club, they hang up their things and wash their hands for snack. We sit down at the table and often talk about our day.

Time to Play, Teatime & Goodbyes

Our sessions are based on 'free play' where the children are supported and encouraged to engage in activities. There will be planned, 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 are some cosy 'chill out zones' as we are aware it is often a long day, especially for our younger children.

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 around 4:30pm and then continue to play until the children are collected. 

​

Many of our team members work every day and there are also some that work a few days each week.
