Busy Birds Before and After School Club At John Shelton Primary School

What do we offer? We are keen to support our working parents and have opened before and after school child care to respond to parent requests. Mrs. Kerri O'Neil co- ordinates the club supported by other staff employed by the school. We have listened and responded to children's feedback on activities they would like to take part in. We hold a themed night every half term relevant to celebrations at the time. Events such as Diwali, Christmas, Easter, Chinese New Year along with many others. Staff are safeguarding and first aid trained. We use positive behaviour strategies and reward systems including feedback to parents. 

Local affordable childcare We offer small healthy snack packs to keep the children's hunger at bay until home time.  Occasionally children are given treats if they correspond with specific themed activity days. We have a wide range of resources, books and toys for Early years, Key stage 1 and Key stage 2. Most importantly, we have lots of fun!
