Breakfast and After School Clubs
Before and After School Care at Astley CE Primary School
Stay and Play provides before and after school care for pupils attending Astley CE Primary School.
Sessions run every school day from 7.45am until 6.00pm and are run by experienced school staff, many of whom also work with the children during the school day.
Our aim is to provide a safe, welcoming and enjoyable environment where children can relax, socialise and take part in a variety of activities before and after the school day.
Children can enjoy a range of activities including:
- Creative arts and crafts
- Board games and puzzles
- Construction toys
- Cookery activities
- Outdoor play
- Quiet relaxation activities
- Both child-led and staff-led games
We encourage children to develop confidence, independence, positive friendships and respect for others in a supportive environment.
