Additional
Information for those attending the careclub
Fee Structure
Care Club is available from 8.00am until school starts in the morning at a cost of £4.50. For children attending in the afternoon the first session, after school until 5pm, is charged at a flat rate of £6.75 regardless of the amount of time used and then an additional late session, from 5pm until 5.45pm, is charged at £3.25.
- Sessions fees are payable upon receipt of invoice, or per session in cash if desired.
- All cash payments must be given to the school office and not Care Club staff.
- Fees can be paid by voucher, cheque, electronic transfer, cash or direct debit.
- If you are late picking up at 5pm you will be charged the additional late session cost regardless of the time your child is collected unless after 5.45pm and the following additional cost is charged.
- Late pick up fee is £10 for every 15 minutes. Please note staff are only insured to look after your child at Care Club until 5.45pm.
- Fees are charged for booked sessions whether the child attends or not.
As we have to ensure the correct ratio of staff to children additional charges will be introduced for pupils dropped off at Care Club but not booked in. These are £10 an hour.
If you no longer need your child in Care Club, half a term written notice must be given otherwise you are liable for full payment during the notice period.
Equal Opportunities
All children and
adults are valued as individuals without racial, gender
or disability stereotyping. Every individual within the
Childcare setting is positively encouraged to promote
and develop a holistic attitude towards race, culture,
language, disability, special needs and
language.
The employment of staff will reflect this policy in
that any successful candidate will be made fully aware
of their role in promoting these positive attitudes. Any
discriminatory remarks or behaviour within the Childcare
setting will be challenged.
Child Protection
The child Protection policy within the club will be
that of the school’s and will strictly follow both
Bedfordshire and national guidelines.
Positive Behaviour
Children in the Care Club will be encouraged to
behave in a positive manner. They will have the opposite
skills to negative behaviour modelled for them – for
example closing a door quietly and moving safely and
correctly around a room. In this way unacceptable
behaviour can be dealt with by telling a child what they
are doing that is wrong and then describing the
behaviour that the child should adopt.
If a child is misbehaving this will be brought to the
child’s attention along with the strategies of diverting
the child’s attention, removing temptation and changing
the setting.
Children will not be intimidated, made to appear
foolish, deprived of food and drink or isolated. Parents
will be informed if there is an ongoing problem.
If a child exhibits behaviours that are persistently
disruptive or harmful then the Club can exercise the
right to ask for that child to be removed.
Late collection Policy
You will have been given a letter detailing our late
collection policy- if you need more clarification please
ask a member of staff.
Security Policy
Everything within our powers is done to guarantee the
safety of your children while they are at Care Club, to
help us with this may we ask that parents work with us
and make staff aware if anyone not known to the Care
Club is dropping off and particularly picking up your
child- if staff are not sure they will not release a
child to a person they do not know.
For the general safety of all please do not answer
the Care Club door, this should only be done by a member
of staff.
Change of Circumstances
It is very important that we keep the records of your
child up to date. If any details change throughout the
year please pass them on so that our records can be
amended.
Medication Policy
Childcare staff cannot administer medication to
children without written consent from a parent.
Medicines must be handed to a member of staff by a
parent or carer so that the medicine can be put in a
safe place away from all the children.
Please be aware that we cannot administer any
Paracetamol® based medication and that we can only
administer medication that has been prescribed by a
Doctor.
Children who are ill should be looked after at home
for the sake of the child, otherchildren and members of
staff.
If you have any questions or enquiries please contact
the Care Club.
