Millbrook Kids Club

Millbrook Kids Club is a breakfast and afterschool club that provides stimulating, child-initated activities within a safe, friendly, inclusive environment.

We work in harmony with the Millbrook values and ethos and encourage and demonstrate these qualities at all times. Children can relax and spend time with other children on activities like board games, drawing, painting, construction and reading.

We also make the most of the outdoor space, and children have the opportunity to play outside daily, and during bad weather have use of the school hall. We think of this as a home from home space which is less structured than the school day.

Timings

Breakfast sessions run from 7.30am until the start of school.

After school sessions run from 3.00 until 6.00pm.

All children are dropped off and picked up from their classrooms. Parental permission will be sought for year 6 children to walk to and from kids club.
