HOLIDAY PLAYSCHEME 2008

After a successful pilot Playscheme at Dovedale Primary School during February half term school holidays, we operated again at Dovedale School in Allerton during the Easter school holidays too. The children had a great time and the parents were very happy with the service.

As a result....

May Half term will be covered at Dovedale Infant School from Tuesday 27th May until Friday 30th May. For a brochure and booking form please contact us via the Contact Us page or telephone 0151 724 1333.


  AIMING HIGHER
Out of Hours Kids’ Club is currently preparing for the ‘Aiming Higher’ quality assurance scheme. Each site will be assessed individually over the next 18 months, and one of the areas covered is our partnership with parents/carers, we would therefore welcome any comments or suggestions on how we can improve our service. We are also aiming for ‘Investors in People’ re-accreditation in July.

TIME TO RE-REGISTER!
We have reached that time of year again when you will need to re-register your children, site managers have new registration forms available. Please read our new payment policy carefully.

  CRAZY CREATURES
Publication of ‘Crazy Creatures’ (which includes entries from some of our Runnymede St Edward’s children), has been delayed. We will probably receive our copies of the book in June. Dovedale children have recently had some successful submissions into the ‘My Family’ edition.

ST MICHAEL PILOT HOLIDAY SCHEME

The company is planning a pilot holiday scheme at St Michael in the Hamlet school. As a company we felt that there was a gap in the service provision during holidays. We are working in conjunction with St Michaels, who requested that we look at the situation, as they are willing for us to use their facilities. The scheme is going to be piloted for children already registered with Out of Hours Kids’ Club and for a 2 week period only. We will be limited to 40 children with St Michael children given priority. We will pass on further details once we have Ofsted approval and it is certain that the scheme is going ahead.

We are aiming to look at holiday provision again at other settings if St Michael’s scheme is successful.


  OPERATING TIMES
May we remind parents/carers of our opening/closing times. Our insurance covers us to operate on school sites from 8am – 9am for breakfast clubs, and from 3pm – 5.45/6pm (depending on operating hours of individual sites). We are not allowed to take the children in before 8am, and should not have any children in our care after closing time.

SICKNESS AND ABSENCE

Will parents/carers please endeavour to phone the office before 2.30pm with messages about attendance for that day. If you cannot get through to the office, we advise you to leave a message at school.
