Breakfast and After School Care FAQs

How do I book?

Bookings for both breakfast and after-school care should be made one week in advance using SOCS. This enables us to plan staffing and activities.
If there is space available, you can request a booking with less than a week’s notice by emailing the breakfast and after school club staff directly, detailing your child’s full name, class, and the date required. Once staff have checked there is capacity on the day requested they will confirm via email. Please do not bring your child to breakfast club unless you have a confirmed booking.

What if I need to cancel?

If you need to cancel a session you have already booked, please email the breakfast and afterschool care staff directly before 9.00am on the day of your after-school care booking or before 3.00pm the day before your breakfast club booking. Sessions cancelled in this way will not be charged.
If your child does not use your booked session and you have not cancelled before the deadline, you will be charged for the breakfast club session or for one session of after-school care. If you collect your child early you will be charged for all sessions booked.
