Introduction
TEMPS Out of School Club is dedicated to providing high-quality, affordable, flexible and accessible community childcare within a safe and nurturing environment.
Our objectives remain to:
-
Support children’s development through play, creativity, and learning/developing opportunities.
-
Provide inclusive childcare to meet the needs of local families.
-
Ensure all staff receive relevant training and maintain the highest safeguarding standards.
TEMPS serves children from Rofft School (Nursery to Year 6) during term time. During school holidays , our Holiday Club is open to children from Rofft School and surrounding schools up to age 14. We also provide emergency childcare when requested by Social Services.
Facilities include:
-
A mobile classroom (leased from Wrexham County Borough Council)
-
An outdoor classroom/pod (funded by a past grant)
-
Designated school rooms used during term
-
A second outdoor classroom
-
Large grass field and yard areas
As a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) (Charity No. 1184942), TEMPS is governed by a Board of Trustees and operates independently from The Rofft School, despite sharing the school site.
Trustees’ Meetings
Trustees held four formal meetings during the year, alongside additional informal discussions via phone, online, or in person to ensure responsive governance and support for staff.
Finance
TEMPS continues to face pressures from rising operational costs, particularly linked to wage increases and utilities. In April 2024, all staff pay was raised in line with the National Living Wage .
We remain committed to keeping fees affordable for families, charging £4.50 per hour , with flexible booking to support parents’ needs. This rate is lower than many local providers, with TEMPS absorbing part of the additional running costs.
Financial services — including payroll, pensions (NEST), and year-end reporting — are provided by Mike Griffiths & Partners Limited our Independent External Accountants. Full accounts have been reviewed by Trustees and uploaded to the CIO Reporting System.
Audited Accounts are Not Required.
Staff and Training
-
All staff hold up-to-date DBS checks and participate in regular training.
-
Staff qualifications meet or exceed CIW requirements , with Level 3 Playworkers present during sessions, supported by experienced Level 2 staff.
-
Ongoing training included safeguarding, health and safety, and play-based learning approaches.
-
Staff meetings are held regularly, with Trustee oversight.
-
A SASS Review was carried out jointly by Trustees and staff. This is a mandatory document required annually by Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW).
Activities and Child Engagement
The TEMPS programme balances structured activities with free play , encouraging creativity, physical activity, and social development.
Highlights included:
-
Community engagement : visits from local police, fire service, and NHS dental teams.
-
Creative projects : arts and crafts, gardening, cookery, and dance workshops.
-
Cultural celebrations : Diwali, Christmas, World Book Day, St. David’s Day, Easter, and Harvest Festival.
-
Wellbeing focus : outdoor play prioritised for mental health benefits; sun safety reminders issued during summer months.
Monthly newsletters and feedback questionnaires ensured good communication with families.
Clubs Overview
Holiday Club
Operated in April, May/June half-term, July–August, October 2024, and February 2025 , welcoming children from across the community. A school in a nearby village does not have a holiday club and we have children from this school attending our holiday club. Trips were limited due to cost-of-living pressures, but external providers delivered a range of exciting inhouse activities.
Fun-Time Club
Catered for younger children (ages 3 and 4). Attendance fluctuated, averaging 6–8 children per session . Activities were adapted for nursery-aged children, with some families using their 30-hour childcare allowance .
Morning Club
Open 07:45 – 08:45 , supporting 24–30 children daily. Younger children were escorted to class; older children went independently.
After School Club
Served 30–45 children daily (higher Mon–Thu, lower Fridays). Activities included sports, crafts, music, and free play.
Areas of Concern & Future Challenges
-
Recruitment difficulties : in line with many childcare providers, TEMPS continues to face challenges in attracting qualified staff.
-
Declining school enrolments : projected reductions in Rofft intake may impact numbers. Trustees are committed to ongoing marketing and cost management.
-
Funding constraints : external grants are limited, though we remain proactive in applying where possible.
-
Competition with Other Childcare Facilities : There are a number of childcare facilities in the area but we will continue to strive to offer affordable, flexible childcare in the community.
Achievements & Improvements (2024–25)
-
Installed an electronic entry gate and camera system to improve safety and security and safeguarding of children.
-
Secured funding from Rainbow and Moondance Childcare Funding. This enabled us to offer free places to children at After School Club and Holiday. These families could not afford to send their children and the children benefitted from attendance at the clubs.
-
Implemented iPal On-Line Booking & Payment System.
-
Continued to worked closely with local schools, council and community
These improvements have significantly enhanced safety, comfort, and opportunities for the children.
- TEMPS was nominated at the Clybiau Plant National Out of School Clubs Awards 2025. One of our playworkers got to the final of the Playworker of the Year Awards. TEMPS was also nominated and won an All-Wales Award from Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids’ Clubs for Promoting Positive Diversity. We are deeply proud to be recognised for our commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all families. This award reflects the collective efforts of our team in welcoming a family from the Ukraine into our community, providing vital support with employment, accommodation, essential household items, childcare, and access to education. Our approach embodies the spirit of inclusion, compassion, and community that we strive to promote every day. We are privileged to play a role in making a meaningful difference to the lives of others and remain dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment for all children and families, regardless of background.
Looking Ahead (2025–26)
-
To secure funding to make repairs and improvements to the two Outdoor Classrooms.
-
Apply to Sports Council for Wales / National Lottery Funding for new sports equipment.
-
Apply to Wrexham Council for Small Capital Grant to erect a outdoor shelter and allweather flooring at the rear of the mobile.
-
Continued focus on staff development and retention.
-
Strengthening partnerships with local schools, councils, and community organisations.
-
Market the Fun-Time Club for Nursery Children during Term-Time 11:30 to 3pm to ensure all people in the local community are aware of this excellent service.
