Out of School Care
Castleton and St Bartholomew's
Our Out of School Care service is a fun and safe place for your child, before and after school and during school holidays. We provide a range of stimulating activities, indoors and out, tailored to your child’s needs and interests.
We focus on delivering activities that the children would not otherwise experience at home that promote children’s learning and social and emotional development, paying particular attention to communication, independence, resilience, confidence building, community and citizenship and general wellbeing.
We offer the flexibility to book term time, school holiday time or both.
To make life easier for you, we offer a drop-off service to school in the morning and a pick-up service from 7 different schools after school.
