Wrap Around Offer
Rainbow Childcare is run by the school, providing before- and after-school provision to support working parents of children from Reception to Year 6.
Breakfast Club opens at 8.00 am to provide breakfast, care and play activities before school opens. Staff escort the children into school at 8.30 am, ensuring a smooth transition and good links with class teachers.
Rainbow Childcare also runs at the end of the day. Children are collected directly from their classrooms, ensuring information from teachers is received before taking the children to the specially set-up activity room. Play activities, both inside and outdoors, are planned around different themes throughout the year.
There is a maximum of 16 places available at each after-school session, and bookings are made via ArborPay. Childcare vouchers are also accepted.
If your child signs up for an after-school club and then attends Rainbow After-School Provision, you will only be charged for Rainbow, not the club as well.
Making Bookings
Bookings must be made in advance through ArborPay, at which point you agree to the terms and conditions as set out in our Rainbow Childcare document.
Extra Curricular Clubs
St Bartholomew’s strives to provide a diverse selection of after-school clubs, which run from 3.30pm to 4.15pm. The children show commitment, dedication and enthusiasm, which greatly impacts their confidence and development as individuals.
Each term, a letter is sent out asking parents/carers to indicate which club(s) their child would like to attend. Where possible, we aim to offer each child their first choice of club, and parents are advised accordingly. A fee of £3.50 is charged for each club session, payable half-termly through ArborPay.
Clubs offered and rotated on a termly basis include:
