After-School Club...
Just Like Home After-School Club grew naturally from our early years childcare. As the children we'd cared for from little ones began starting school, many of them — and their parents — simply weren't ready to say goodbye to Just Like Home. And neither were we!
Our After-School Club gives children a familiar, welcoming place to come at the end of a busy school day. We collect from a number of local schools across Hove and bring the children back to our settings, where they can relax, catch up with friends and enjoy their afternoon in a genuine home-from-home environment.
On arrival, children are welcomed with a snack and drink before deciding how they'd like to spend their time. There are games, toys, books, crafts and activities available, as well as plenty of opportunities to get outdoors. Some children want to join in with everything; others simply want to curl up with a book, complete their homework or have some quiet time after school. The choice is theirs.
What you need to know:
- Pickup directly from school
- Healthy snack provided on arrival
- Wide range of activities
- Hot evening meal
- Latest pickup time is at 6.30pm
We also pride ourselves on providing childcare that older primary-aged children genuinely enjoy. Finding exciting, age-appropriate childcare as children approach secondary school isn't always easy, but our mixed-age environment works brilliantly. Older children develop strong friendships, enjoy greater independence and often love helping and interacting with the younger children.
A hot, home-cooked evening meal is included, followed by quieter activities and time to wind down before collection. We're open until 6:30pm, so when children head home, they're fed, happy and ready to enjoy some quality family time before bed.
What the children need to know:
- You choose how you spend your afternoon
- Get creative in our Art Studio
- Watch your ideas come to life with our 3D printer
- Take on the climbing wall
- Hang out and play with friends
- Join in with games, crafts and activities
- Chill out with a book or have some quiet time
- Get outside and enjoy plenty of fresh air
- Enjoy a yummy hot dinner
- And most importantly… after school is your time!
