INTENT

Sunbeams provides a safe, secure environment for the children in our care offering seamless transition between school and wraparound provision/holiday provision. Our staff in Sunbeams endeavour to provide an atmosphere and activities similar to those found within their own home. It is the intention of everyone involved at Woodlands Primary School and Sunbeams to provide a happy, stimulating environment in which every child is supported to reach their full potential. We believe that a positive partnership with parents and carers is crucial and promotes our aim to maximise the child’s learning and ensure wellbeing and well-rounded social and emotional development.

WHAT WE OFFER

We aim to provide a range of creative, stimulating and meaningful play, recreational and educational opportunities for your child.  Children who attend Sunbeams will be able to choose from a wide range of activities including:

• crafts,

• construction

• creative play

• film watching

• book reading

• physical play

• large construction toys

• film club

• baking

We also have outdoor areas for the children to use to continue to develop their gross motor skills. 

Admission & Booking

It is our intention to make Sunbeams accessible to children in our school community, managed on a day-to-day basis by the Sunbeams Manager and Deputy Manager.  Parents must ensure that any Sunbeam sessions are booked 5 days in advance and paid for via their online ParentPay account. Bookings will be cancelled if payment is not made within 15 minutes. On the day bookings will not be accepted and fees are non-refundable for non-attendance such as illness, holidays, ad hoc events etc. This is what will ensure the fees are reasonable, as below, and the ratios of staff to children adhered to, as per statutory guidance.
