Wrap Around Care
We offer wrap around childcare from 7:30am until 5:45pm to parents of Kirkstall Valley Primary School.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is led by Mrs Dilucia and Mrs Crank and is available to all children of Kirkstall Valley Primary school, however places are limited. Children can be dropped off from 7:30am (this was previously 7:50) and the cost will be £4 per day. Children will be able to enjoy breakfast and games before being taken through to their classrooms at 8:45am. Places can be booked by contacting the school office. Payments will be made through our Reach More Parents app.
Entry to Breakfast Club will be through the hall door. It is important that parents/carers wait with the children until a member of staff arrives. The school cannot take any responsibility for the children until they are greeted by the staff.
After School Club
After School Club operates from our school and is led by Mrs Hussain and Mrs Tanwir. At the club, we aim to provide a safe, secure and fun environment with a variety of activities to reflect the interests of the children. The choice of activities includes art, crafts, board games and outdoor play when the weather permits. After School Club runs between 3:15 and 5:45 at a cost of £12.50 per session. To collect your child/children, please come through the front entrance into the reception area and call the number displayed at the office.
Places will need to be booked through the school office. Payments will be made through our Reach More Parents app.
For all wrap around care, you will be charged for each session booked for your child regardless of whether they attend or not as this place cannot be offered to anyone else.
If you no longer require your Breakfast Club and/or After School Club place we ask that you give one week’s notice before the place is cancelled and payments stop.
Places for wrap around care need to be pre-booked - please do NOT just turn up for Breakfast Club or After School Club as we will not be able to accommodate them. If there is an emergency please come and speak with the school office as we will always try to assist where possible.
Help with childcare costsTax-free childcareWe are registered as a childcare provider with Tax-Free Childcare, a Government scheme which gives eligible families an extra 20% towards childcare costs including the fees for breakfast and after school clubs. This has replaced the employer-supported Childcare Voucher scheme. Childcare vouchers
Childcare Voucher schemes are now closed to new entrants although parents who have already signed up can continue to use them. Please contact the school before making payments using childcare vouchers and we will enrol with your provider.Universal creditYou can apply for help with your childcare costs through the GOV.UK website if you are claiming universal credit. The money is given to you after you have paid for the childcare and it has been provided for you. You will need to show evidence of your costs, including a letter from the school which we will provide on request.Childcare Grant Payment ServiceYou may be eligible for help with childcare costs if you are a full-time higher education student. The grant does not need to be paid back and is on top of other student finance
