Knightwood - Early Birds Before School Club and Child Care Vouchers

We are offering a before school club for children who attend Knightwood Primary School. 

If you would like your child to attend please contact the school office.   
 

“Early Birds” will operate from 7.45am until 8.30am every school day. The cost will be:

£3.50 per child per session.

£5.50 per session if you have two children attending the club

£7.00 per session if you have three children attending the club.

Please note that the charge is for any part of the session regardless of the time the children arrive. There will be no refund if the school is caused to close in bad weather or if your child does not attend due to illness.

Members of our support staff team will be supervising the club, there  will be a minimum of three, usually four, supervising adults each day.

Taking account of the legal ratios of supervising adults to children, we can only offer a limited amount of spaces which will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.   At the moment it is not possible to accept “odd day drop ins” although we would obviously try to support any of our families in emergency situations if we are able.  

Please assume that once your child has a place at the club we will have a rolling system of enrolment until we are advised that the place is no longer required.

We will update the payment system, ScoPay, each term with your required days and ask that the balance is cleared within the term.  Please see below for payment options. 

Please see below for a booking form.  If you would like any further information please contact the school office; adminoffice@knightwood.hants.sch.uk
