Breakfast Club

We are proud to have been selected as an Early Adopter of the DfE's Free Breakfast Club programme.

From April 2025, we will be launching our FREE Breakfast Club for children in Reception to Year 2. The club will run from 8am - 8:35am every morning.

For any parents requiring a longer Breakfast Club we are running a full morning breakfast club offer from 7:30am to 8:35am. The charge for this is £2.50.

07:30am – 08:00am £2.50

08:00 am – 08:35am FREE

Bookings can be made via the Arbor App by clicking on Clubs. We do need prior notice of attendance in order to ensure the club can be run with the right number of staff, so bookings will close at 3:30pm the day before. 

We are registered for Tax Free Childcare

How it works:

1.     Set up an online childcare account for your child on GOV.UK.

2.      Search for childcare providers through the online account using their name, town, or post code. If your childcare provider is signed up to Tax-Free Childcare, you can add them to your account and start paying them straight away. If they aren’t registered, you will be able to send them a nudge notification asking them to sign-up to the scheme.

3.      Deposit money into the account. For every £8 you pay into this account, the government will pay in £2 to use to pay your childcare provider. You can get up to £500 every 3 months (up to £2,000 a year) for each of your children to help with the costs of childcare. This goes up to £1,000 every 3 months if a child is disabled (up to £4,000 a year).

4.      Use the money to pay your childcare provider through your online account.

5.      Reconfirm your eligibility for Tax-Free Childcare every three months. You’ll get a reminder and it’s easy to do through your online account.
