GENERAL INFORMATION FOR RAINBOW CLUB
THE BREAKFAST CLUB FROM 0730 TO 0850 HOURS
The Breakfast Club will open each school day from 0730 hours and is available for use by local primary school children. The standard charges, shown on the separate ‘Times of Sessions and Fees’ page, include a healthy breakfast of fruit juice, cereal, toast & marmalade or jam, and fresh fruit. During this pre-school session, a variety of quiet, indoor games, activities, and toys can be enjoyed. Furthermore, access to tablets, Kindles and an interactive white board will also be available.
THE AFTER SCHOOL CLUB FROM 1530 TO 1800 HOURS
The After-School Club operates from 1530 until 1800 hours, and, like the Breakfast Club, is available for use by local primary school children. The charges are shown on the separate ‘Times of Sessions and Fees’ page. During the session the children are offered a drink (milk, juice or squash) and a light snack to keep them going until they depart for home and tea. The cost of this snack is included in the session fee.
The children will be able to choose from a range of toys, games and activities (please see separate tab for this weeks activities). Every afternoon, weather permitting, we will play outside for part of the session, with an assortment of outdoor equipment and playground toys; we also have use of the Academy playing field and will be able to hold races or play team games. In addition to the imaginative games, puzzles, and construction toys that we have at the club, there will be arts and craft activities in which the children can join, such as ceramics, clay, modelling and card-making. We also have tablets and Kindles and interactive white boards available for use, providing a wide range of modern technology.
As Early Years specialists, GNRC are able to offer a fully appropriate environment to younger children trough full use of our spacious nursery setting. This carefully maintained environment provides a stimulating play space for younger children in which they can build apon their school place learning. The fully trained Early Years Professionals take on the role of Key Workers for foundation stage children, maintaining a learning journal and discussing progress through parents meeting.
Children at Greenway Academy who are enrolled for the after-school Rainbow Club will congregate at 1530 hours at a central spot (house points display board, this is just past the staff room) within the school and then they will be escorted across the playground to the Rainbow Club. Academy children who participate in an ‘after-school activity’ such as a sports club, or a music club, can still be enrolled into the Rainbow Club for the session, and will be safely brought to the Club by the Academy staff once the activity has ended.
A transfer service (a short walk across the recreation ground) between the Breakfast Club and Trafalgar Infant School in the morning, and similarly, between the Infant School and the Rainbow Club in the afternoon, is provided by GNRC free of charge for users of the club. Children are delivered to and collected from the class teacher to ensure constant supervision.
HOMEWORK AT THE AFTER SCHOOL CLUB
in deference to the demands of a buy homework schedule, a time slot of around 20 minutes is allocated each evening for older children at Rainbow Club, immediately after the children come over from the Academy itself and before they have had their snack, during which time homework could be carried out by those children whose parents wish them to do so. The pupils participating in this are supervised by a member of Rainbow staff. Parents who wish us to help in this manner must inform the Rainbow Club staff, and please ensure that your child isalso aware of your wishes.
WHAT PARENTS AND CHILDREN CAN EXPECT
The Rainbow Club will bring to its operation the same standard of care that has been developed over the years in Greenway Nursery. The staff are experienced and well qualified, are dedicated, and are attuned to the needs of the children for whom they are responsible. The physical safety of the children, together with their emotional and moral well-being, are of the greatest significance; having said that, the secondary, but highly important objective, is to ensure that the children are happy, contented, exposed to a variety of stimulating and fun activities, and generally encouraged, by praise and good example, to respect each other, develop self-confidence and independence, learn something every day, and have a good time!
Parents can expect transparency, confidentiality, and a certainty that any concerns they may have will be treated with sympathy and understanding, and will be dealt with promptly. The Club’s policies are available for all to see, and will be adhered to openly and fairly.
