Helpston Playhouse provides  ‘Outstanding’ wrap around care for pupils attending John Clare Primary School, and for children aged 2 and above at Helpston Playhouse preschool.

Your child will feel at home in our wrap around care, available every day from 7.30am until 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.

At our Out of School Club we provide a warm, safe, secure and relaxed environment from the age of 2 years. We offer a range of activities to reflect the interests of the children in our care.

Out of School Club members can participate in any of the activities we have on offer:

We also have:

• Our very own, very popular, library, organised and managed by our KS2 ambassadors

• The opportunity to play outside in our garden, including: basketball, football, scootering, den building, construction play, obstacle courses, tending to our vegetable patches, sand pit, mud kitchen, marble run, fire pit, tree climbing…

• Inside, we have wonderful warming food and drink available, a snooker table, console gaming (for KS2 children), role play, crafting, cosmic yoga, music and dancing, and help with homework!

All children are provided with a warm and nutritious snack, such as soup and roll, jacket potato or pizza.

Between Breakfast Club and the start of school, staff accompany the younger children into their classrooms. Older children are able to walk across to their rooms independently.

In the afternoon, the children from Reception, Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 are collected from their classroom by a member of Out of School Club. Those children in years 5 and 6 are able to come over on their own.

Your child will feel at home in our wrap around care!
