The Busy Bunch

Breakfast Club

We are open every weekday during term time, excluding Inset days, from 7.15am till school opening time. Children can be dropped off at any time between these times. Breakfast will be available from 7.15am until 8.15am

Afterschool Club

We are open Monday to Friday during term time, excluding Inset days from 3.10pm to 6.00pm. Children can be picked up at any time between these times.

At St Nicolas’ we aim to offer extra opportunities to the children in a friendly club, offering them a variety of different experiences. We welcome all children and pride ourselves on providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children. Our clubs will be an environment similar to that of a home breakfast and snack time, where the children are encouraged to interact with and develop friendships between different age groups, while having fun and enjoying a range of activities.
