From 3.15-4.45pm, we offer our children a wide range of clubs which develop knowledge, skills and positive learning attitudes. These range from sports (hockey, archery, basketball, badminton, cross country running and much, much more) to a wider range of interests including creative areas (choir, macrame, mindfulness, art, British Sign Language, latch hooking, farm club and more) - what skills and areas of expertise / interests do you have to contribute to our offer?

Between 4.45pm - 6pm, children engage in wide-ranging free-choice activities based in our well-resourced Sycamore room. From pool to table tennis, outdoor play on our trim trail, mindfulness colouring, reading, hama beads, a wide stock of card and board games. The successful candidate must love to engage in quality play!

The explorers role will include managing the day-to-day operation of the provision, setting up registers on our online system, responding to parent enquiries, working alongside other explorers leaders, preparing light meals, and ensuring activities promote the children’s wellbeing and enjoyment.
