Wraparound Care - Breakfast Club and Dragonflies
A welcome from Mrs McSweeney
At Radwinter Primary School our wraparound care is run ‘in-house’, meaning that the provision is run by school staff. This allows us to provide consistency for the children in our care, and you can feel reassured that the adults supervising your child will know them well and understand their needs. A school run provision also provides the advantage of having seamless communication during the school day, allowing parents to book at short notice should the need arise. We recognise the importance of offering a reliable and flexible service to all our parents.
We offer both breakfast club and after school care (Dragonflies). Our breakfast club starts at 07.45 am and offers toast, cereal, fruit, yogurt and juice, we offer all of this along with a fun environment, and it’s a great way to start the day!
Dragonflies offers three different sessions, 15.10 – 16.15, 16.15 – 18.00 (for those children attending a club first) and 15.10 – 18.00. We offer places to all year groups, and as we are school run, we do not cap numbers, instead we are able to offer additional staffing on days when attendance is higher. We offer fruit snacks for children attending until 16.15, and a more substantial hot snack if the children are staying later. During the session, the children have access to a wide range of activities, including construction toys, games, arts and crafts. We can also use the outside area of the school, having our own supply of scooters and outdoor play equipment. My wraparound care assistants are committed to providing a fun, engaging environment for the children, and every day is a joy!
We also run our Dragonflies ‘Special Events’, these are activities which run alongside our main Dragonflies sessions and offer a one-off workshop or experience to any child within the school. Over the last year we have offered sign language, art workshops, an escape room, fun fair games, crochet master class, Christmas baking and ceramic painting, the list goes on and on. I am passionate about offering as many fun and educational experiences to the children as possible, I love finding new and unusual things for them to do!
