working parents to plan holidays for the family, not just to cover childcare during school holidays. It provides continuity for the children being able to remain in the same setting. Payment for places is on a booking basis each holiday, relieving some financial pressures on parents. Parents also know they have a secure place for children if they need to attend medical appointments or pursue their own interests Our afterschool and holiday club provides children with opportunities for cooking, sport, science and ICT among the usual games and craft activities. Our playgroup offers full day care as well as sessional care. We offer provision for early starts to help parents who are dropping off children at school, so they don’t have to wait. We offer lunch sessions which also enables parents to fit in appointments in town which is a fair travelling distance from the villages. Our children mainly come from the two local villages of Martin and Timberland, but we have several come from villages further afield. The school we serve is Mrs Mary Kings (CE) Primary school, but again, we also have children attend from other local schools, particularly during holiday club. We play an active role in the local communities of surrounding villages. We also participate in National and local charity campaigns such as Children in Need, Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day and Red nose Day. Our fee structure is as low as possible, and in certain circumstances we may be able to offer help, or direct parents to sources of further help. We are registered with the local authority for free nursery places for 3 and 4 year olds, including the extended 30 hours. We are also registered for funding for 2 year olds who meet the criteria for funding. We use the pupil premium in ways which support the eligible families in caring for their children, such as providing hot meals and paying for additional sessions if necessary, as well as purchasing relevant resources to help children reach their full potential, or providing 1:1 support.
