From September 2024 we are very excited to be extending our wraparound provision for Strathmore pupils only.

Bookings for the provision can be made via this link. 

Allocations will be shared with parents and carers on Wednesday 8th May. This will be based on a first come first served basis and you will need to stipulate which session(s) you require. We are asking for a small, non-refundable registration fee of £10 per child in order to secure your child's space. One places have been allocated, the registration fee payment will appear on the Arbor app and needs to be paid by 24th May 2024 to secure your child's place on our provision. As a reminder, this secures your child's place for their time at Strathmore. 

For new Reception and Nursery Pupils

Please use the booking link above. Places will be allocated to existing children first and then will be allocated to new children after, on a first come first serve basis. Payments will be made via Arbor once registration forms have been completed and access to Arbor has been set up. A deadline date will be shared with new parents and carers in June via email. 

Our session times

There will be two sessions you can apply for in our after school wraparound provision: 

                 Option 1: 3.15pm - 5.15pm at £12 per session

                 Option 2: 3.15pm - 5.45pm at £15 per session

Please note you need to choose one session time only for the duration of the half term.

Childcare vouchers are accepted. We currently accept vouchers from:

• Sodexo
• Computershare
• Child tax free account
• Care-4 Childcare

We are offering an extension to the school day with the opportunity for your child to relax in a nurturing environment with a range of activities linked to key areas of learning and development. There will be timetabled activities throughout the week in our Let’s Get Physical, Let’s Get Creative and Let’s Make sessions. This may include various crafts, baking, building, playdough, messy play, using computers, yoga, active mats, obstacle courses, and much more.

In addition to these activities, we would like to support your child with their reading whilst they remain in our care. We will offer a Let’s Read opportunity for children to read with an adult or with each other. This may be within the main area for provision or within our school library to allow pupils to read for pleasure in a calming environment.

In our Early Years provision, we follow the interests of our children and we intend to do the same in our wraparound provision. We will plan activities linked to their ideas and include them in planning of key themes and weekly provision.

As all our pupils are entitled to a free hot meal throughout the school day, our wraparound provision will include a cold meal option. All children will be offered a cold meal during their session time, including those who may be attending other clubs on our site. We will offer two sittings for food and children can help themselves during their mealtime slot to a range of foods such as wraps, crackers, sandwiches, vegetables, fruit, yoghurts, sausage rolls, etc. We will not be offering chocolate or crisps but may have pudding options. If your child has any dietary requirements please ensure these are noted when you complete the registration documentation.

Vision and Ethos

As our provision is an extension to the school day, our school vision and values will be embedded in these sessions just as they would be within our curriculum and our school day. This includes our Safeguarding and Behaviour Policies.

We intend to share with you updates of what our pupils have been doing during our wraparound care within our school newsletter.

Registering interest

We will be offering places on a first come first served basis. We have the capacity to open our provision to a large number of children as we have full access to the school’s spaces. This will of course be staffing dependent. At this stage, we are capping numbers to 48 pupils per session, however, if our staffing numbers increase we may be able to offer more spaces.

For new Reception and Nursery Pupils
