Before School Care

St Martin’s Primary School Brefore School Care is a service provided for parents and their children. 

The cost is £4.00 per child per day, with breakfast consisting of fresh fruit, juice, toast and jam/marmalade/marmite and cereal or porridge.  It is run in the main hall and parents/carers are asked to walk with their child/children to the side door at the back of the school hall.  Children can arrive between 7.45am and 8.00am. To deliver your children to the school hall, you can use the public car parking in front of school.  Please do not park in the staff car park.

If you wish to use the Before School Care, you will need to book your child/children in as we do not offer one-off or drop-in sessions. However, we may be able to assist in extreme circumstances. Please complete the Before School Care Registration form and return it as soon as possible.   If you do not hear anything from us, your child has been allotted a place on your chosen day(s) and start date.  An invoice will be issued at the beginning of each new term and can be paid in full or in instalments.

Unfortunately, should your child be absent due to illness, for example, refunds cannot be given.  If you would like your child to make use ofthis care, but finances inhibit, please speak to Mrs Giles.

If you no longer wish to use the facility, please inform the school office in writing or via email with at least one week’s notice of termination.  If we do not receive notification, you will be charged for attendance as we will continue to cater for your child/children.

Reception children are able to attend Before School Care, but we ask that they do not attend during their first week at school in September to enable them to have time to settle in.

We ask that no mobile devices are brought to Before School Care.  Children may bring books, small games, homework etc.  We shall also provide a box of resources for children.
