Kids Club Southport Programmes

Our programmes are designed to meet the Ofsted and School philosophy and values, while offering age-appropriate activities that encourage physical, intellectual, social, and creative abilities.

Homework at Kids Club

If children need to do homework at Kids Club, we can provide a quiet space for them to do so, and staff may provide support if needed.

Southport Breakfast Club

We offer a breakfast club program that provides a nutritious start to the day with a selection of healthy breakfast options. Our qualified staff members are committed to helping children have a positive and enjoyable experience.

Healthy After-school Snacks

At Kids Club Southport, we understand the importance of providing a healthy and nutritious snack for our after-school and holiday care sessions. We provide a variety of nutritious options, including sandwiches, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, yoghurts, cookies and fresh fruit. We are also able to accommodate any special dietary requirements and allergies.

Daily routine

In order to ensure that the programme is a happy and safe environment for the children who attend and that it runs smoothly, the Kids Club Southport programme follows a structured routine. We vary the routine subject to the needs and desires of the children but a ‘typical’ After-school Club routine is as follows:

Holy Trinity C of E Primary School

A list of attendees is sent daily via email to office staff by Sue. The teachers are made aware of which children in their classes are attending ASC. Club staff go to collect the infants (yrs R to 2) and teachers sign them out of class on the register. Key Stage 2 children are also collected from class after the infants and teachers likewise sign them out on our register.

Golden Values

All children who attend our club have agreed to keep to the club’s Golden Values. These are pictured below, and we believe they are necessary for our club to run smoothly and harmoniously each day. If from time-to-time children aren’t behaving in the best way, we remind them of our values.

Monthly themes are incorporated into the daily format. The daily format is an indication only of the types of activities the children will be involved in at any given time. However, depending on the children’s enthusiasm and interest, it may be varied at the discretion of the staff.

Arts & crafts, sports & outdoor games and fun activities are consistently part of our programme. In addition, Music & Drama sessions are occasionally run during Holiday Club by an experienced tutor for any interested children. Although behavioural rules apply in accordance with those of the school, children have the option not to participate in any given activity.

All Themes of the Month and Planned Activities are designed, above all, to be fun but are also structured to encourage learning and development of the children in line with the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum. These principles are extended to be relevant for older children where appropriate.

Monthly Themes

Monthly themes are incorporated into the daily format. These may be chosen because of yearly calendar events or events of interest happening
in the UK or globally, e.g., Chinese New Year, Easter, Xmas. They may also link in with the children’s interests and hobbies, e.g., horses, dinosaurs.
All themes of the month and planned activities are designed above all to be fun but may also be educational and help with their academic learning.

Upcoming Events

We run a series of events throughout the year to celebrate holidays, provide play opportunities and engage parents. Check back here for all our upcoming events and contact us if you’re interested in attending.
