THE NEST - Our Before & After School Club
Welcome to The Nest, we can't wait for you to come and join us!
We operate term time only from 7.30am and until 5.45pm each day.
For all enquiries regarding joining our wrap around club and any changes to attendance please email:
wac@whittington.staffs.sch.uk
Please ensure messages regarding changes to collection arrangements or non-attendance of a session are left by 2pm for afternoon sessions.
Messages left after these times may not reach our staff in time for registers to be updated at the start of the session and may result in you being called to confirm your child’s whereabouts/collection arrangements.
In case of emergency at collection time:
e.g. you are stuck in traffic on your way to collect your child from an afternoon session, please call 01543 432 487 and select option 3 to leave the Nest team a message.
Please do not use the school car park when dropping off/collecting your child.
Fun at The Nest!
We aim to make sure everyone is having fun in our stimulating and nurturing environment!
Our sessions are tailored to the age groups and interests of the children in our care, with the children’s own suggestions being encouraged and incorporated into our sessions whenever possible. Your child has free choice over their activities, and will be able to enjoy a wide variety of toys and games both inside and outside as they wish. Our activities include arts and crafts, cooking, board games, imaginative play, construction, role play items e.g. dressing up clothes and sports equipment. Years 5 and 6 are able to enjoy supervised access to the computer suite when possible. We also have areas to relax and sometimes we enjoy a film if the weather sends us indoors!
