How do I contact Club Kidz?
Phone us on 0845 319 8300 (this number charged at local rate from a BT landline) or email annette@clubkidz.co.uk
Can I visit the Club before I enrol my child?
Yes absolutely! We would encourage anyone thinking of enrolling their child with Club Kidz to come along and, of course, bring your child with you to see what we do. Phone us (0845 319 8300) or email annette@clubkidz.co.uk to arrange a viewing.
How do I enrol my child for the Club?
Places at the Club are limited. Each setting has a maximum number of children allowed at any one time. If you are interested in a place, please Phone us (0845 319 8300) or email annette@clubkidz.co.uk to find out the current places available. We run a waiting list that we actively manage to maximise access to the Club.
Please register your child via the link. If we are able to offer you a place payment should be made to secure your place. We also would encourage a visit so you and your child can meet the staff and see the setting. If you sign up for a place we expect your child to attend every week, and require four weeks notice to cancel a place.
What happens when my child comes to the Club?
The children are collected from their class by qualified Playworkers. We collect children from the Infants (Reception to Year 2) from their classrooms, and collect the Juniors (Years 3-6) from a designated point in their playground
The children are then escourted to the Club Kidz setting
On arrival at the Club the children choose a healthy snack and a drink and then have some fun!
We provide a range of organised and free choice activities for the children. We have different indoor areas including a craft corner, construction area, and a quite corner for reading.
How is the Club run?
Our staff team is made up of a Club Manager, Club Deputy Manager, and several Playworkers. Most of our Playworkers have NVQ Level 2 Childcare qualifications and several are working or have achieved Level 3. Please see “Our Staff” page.
Our current Club managers are Andrea Buckingham, Wendy Berriman, Phillipa Barker, Delia Clark and Nikky Hart.
Their roles are to manage the day to day business of the Club. They coordinate the activities for each session, working closely alongside our other staff.
Each session is well resourced with a variety of toys, games etc to meet all the children's interests and needs.
All staff have an Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check and we are committed to ensure they have regular training.
Our office staff are responsible for invoicing, and collection of fees as well as other administrative tasks.
