Benson Buddies is for children aged 4-11 years, it operates a before school and after school club from our school hall.
The Breakfast Club runs from 7.30am to 8.30am and breakfast is included in the fees. Staff will then see them safely into their classroom.
The Afterschool Club runs from 3.15pm to 6.00pm, the children are collected from their classrooms and brought to the hall. The children have registration and are then given snacks and drinks. A range of activities are available throughout the session and these are taken from the children’s interests and ideas. Children who attend afterschool clubs can access the club afterwards.
Our main aim is to provide high quality care for your child in a secure and caring environment, and to ensure they have lots of fun and enjoy their time at wraparound. Staff are always open to new ideas and welcome input from parents. Please feel free to speak with staff at any time regarding your child as they will be only too happy to help.
Whilst at wraparound your child will be able to become involved in the following activities:-
- Outdoor sports
- Organised activities
- Crafts
- Construction games
- Board games
- Junk modeling
- Cookery
We involve the children each week in planning our activities and work very hard to ensure that we listen to them and meet all their needs. We value and respect your children and encourage them to contribute to the club.
Snack Time
In the morning the children can choose from a wide selection of healthy choices all overseen by our school chef. We do try and encourage the children to eat healthily and try new foods.
In the late afternoon we offer again a varied choice through the week and these include dishes such as fresh fruit, crackers and cheese, pasta etc. If your child has any allergies, then please do let us know to ensure that we can offer them an alternative snack.
