The club provides wrap around care and learning for children before and after the school day and during the school holidays. This vital service enables parents and carers with primary school age children to go to work or engage in further education and training.
The Inspector's report is very positive with the service being awarded the following consistently high "Very Good" grades:
- Quality of Care and Support grade 5 - Very Good
- Quality of Environment grade 5 - Very Good
- Quality of Staffing grade 5 - Very Good
- Quality of Management and Leadership grade 5 - Very Good
Parents as well as children were talked to by the Inspector.
"Six parents were talked to during the inspection and all were very happy with the club, which they thought was very well run. They all commented on how much their child enjoyed coming and sometimes how reluctant they could be to leave. The parents were aware they could be on the Committee and were happy with the information they were given and sent by email. All the responses were positive about all aspects of the club."

Looking to the future, when the School's extension is completed in the early summer, the Club anticipates moving into the portable classroom unit currently used by the Nursery. With exclusive use of this facility and access to additional accommodation in the school, it hopes to be able to create more places for children on the waiting list.
