Entrance and times
Do not enter via the front of the school on London Rd. Enter via alleyway between houses 50-52 on St Leonards Rd, Headington, Oxford
You can drop and collect any times between 8.15am-6.15pm. The gate will be open and supervised set morning and evening hours. During the day it remains locked so ring the bell (wall and ground) to draw staff attention.
If the person collecting is unknown to our staff make us aware in advance.
We ask that adults dropping and collecting refrain from entering our site past the drop off zone as it means we can keep the site for children to freely move around.
If you believe that your child may struggle settling please raise this will gate staff and our team will support.
We do not provide food.
Children need sufficient healthy snacks and a packed lunch as they will be active. We can not reheat and please avoid nuts (allergies).
Children eat outdoors (indoors if wet) in their groups under staff supervision.
Children need clothing that is comfortable. It is advisable to pack spare upper and lower items in case they need to change during the day e.g. water play and/or toilet incident.
Footwear needs to be secure.
Label everything!
If your child is on a prescription medication or may require us to administer in care e.g. allergy make us aware in advance of childcare.
If your child has a care plan hand it to the site manager along with medication on arrival.
We can not administer non prescription medications e.g. Calpol.
We group children in close school years. Our groups are called 'squads' and each squad has a coloured wrist band so children are aware who they are with throughout the day.
We operate over multiple spacious indoor areas on the grounds with each area offering a range of different activities that include arts and crafts, toys, board games, story books, bouncy castle, sports and outdoor spaces that inc., astro pitch, grass, hard court and a mixed ability range of climbing apparatus and slide.
Children can leave their bike or scooter safely in our onsite area. They do not need to lock them. They can not use them onsite during the day.
Children are not allowed to use/access mobile phones. If a child arrives with a mobile phone please notify the gate-staff on arrival who will take the device until end of day departure.
We are friendly with a wealth of childcare experience both in early years, primary schools and out of school clubs.
We focus on making every child feel part of our clubs so that they feel safe and happy in their environment.
We do not apply sunscreen to children therefore we advise that you do this prior to arrival, as you would with school. If you are sending them with extra please send a roll-on rather than squeezy bottle (messy).
