General Information
What are the After School opening hours?
Moose Club is open every school day from 3.15-6pm. We ask children are collected by 5.55pm to ensure we can effectively finish the session. A late fee will be added to your account if you fail to collect your child by 6pm.
Our Moose team are contactable via email at anytime, we aim to respond within 24 hours. You can also contact our Moose team via our phone number, 07305 083381, between 2.15-6pm.
What are the arrangements for school pickups?
The children are transferred to our designated building by a teacher where our Playworkers will be ready to welcome them in. Your child then will be signed and provided with fun opportunities to play, craft and have fun!
What activities do you provide?
Our aim is to provide children with a space to unwind and enjoy themselves outside school, in a safe and stimulating environment. For some children, this means active games and for some it means quiet play.
Our staff are experienced in providing a balance of creative, active and free play to cater for all needs.
- Creative activities: arts and crafts, cookery and junk modelling.
- Active play: organised indoor and outdoor games and sports.
- Free play: construction toys, dolls, board games and a quiet reading corner.
How many places are there each day?
Moose currently can take up to 60 children per day. We achieve this by splitting across two rooms, when required. Both rooms provide options of games, crafts and outdoor use of the playgrounds *weather dependent*.
What is the age range?
We take children aged 4–11. However we will only take 4 year olds if they have already started school (Reception).
My child is used to a snack after school. Should I provide one?
Children will be provided with a light snack after arriving at the scheme. We offer a mix of fruits, vegetables and crackers/rice cakes. Children do not need to bring a snack from home, it is entirely up to you.
Moose cater to dietary requirements so please ensure any dietary needs are kept up to date.
What if I cancel/can’t get required bookings?
Moose works on a 7 day booking and cancellation policy. If you are unable to secure places for specific days, please email us so we can add your request to our waiting list and you will be informed if that placement has been secured.
Dependent on availability, we can be flexible on late bookings however you will be unable to book directly from your Magic Bookings account. Please email, text or call us and we can add your child from our system, if the space is available.
If you cancel you bookings, please ensure you inform both Moose and VPPS directly to avoid any confusion, this also helps to further secure our safeguarding of your children.
Please note bookings that are cancelled within 7 days of the session taking place will not be refunded.
