Kingfisher Childcare Information

Introduction

Kingfisher Childcare is the name given to the flexible provision offered by Carr Lodge Academy both before and after school.  The provision is available for upper foundation-Year 6.

We use our own staff who work in the academy throughout the day in a variety of roles, so the staff are well known to our children. Children can participate in a variety of age-appropriate activities including arts and crafts, board games, reading, sport, dance and computer based activities.

Breakfast and a light tea is provided. We ask that you inform Carr Lodge Academy of any food allergies and medical conditions in order to safeguard your children.

Breakfast Club

Breakfast Club opens at 7.30am.

The daily cost for breakfast time supervision and food is £4.80. 

Example Menu

Daily:

To eat-  Toast, bagels, crumpets, cereal, fruit bowl, yoghurt

Children can arrive any time from 7.30am onwards. Food will not be available for arrivals after 8:30am. Where possible, children are encouraged to be independent and they help pour their own drinks and clear away their own plates. Following breakfast club, staff will ensure that children arrive in class with their belongings for registration at the start of the school day.

Kingfisher Childcare operates a ‘safe password’ system for collecting children at the end of the day. Carr Lodge Academy requests up-to-date details in order to safeguard your children. e.g. safe password, phone numbers, email, and essential information about any relevant circumstances.
