Appledore Out of School Club realise that a high quality service is essential. We are registered with OFSTED to ensure that the premises are suitable and that no more than the recommended number of children attend at any one time. We are registered for children between the ages of 3 and 11 years old. We are able to offer activities in the safe, secure grounds of Appledore School, where children are supervised at all times by experienced staff who are all DBS checked. Our comprehensive range of policies and procedures ensure maximum safety and security all of children attending.
All Clubs run from the Out of School room, which is situated next to the Turtles (nursery) classroom. Your child is welcome to attend any or all of these sessions if a place is available. All bookings should be made online using the School Money payment system. Payment must be made at the time of booking the sessions online.

Cancellation policy
If your child is unable to attend the session we ask that you cancel the session online as soon as you are aware. We require at least 24 hours’ notice of cancellation before the session. On cancelling, School Money will credit back your account automatically and the credit can be used to book another session. If the session is not cancelled or cancelled with less than 24 hours before the session then you will be charged the full rate.
Collection
Children must be promptly collected by 6.pm for Afterschool Club. If due to unforeseen circumstances you are not able to collect your child at the end of each session, two members of staff will remain with your child on the premises until the situation is resolved or you arrive. It is imperative that you call the After School Club to let us know of any potential delay as soon as possible, because we are required to contact the authorities if a parent is more than 15 minutes late without any prior warning. We will do all we can to make contact with delayed parents before such action is taken by the AOOSC. In cases of regular late collections a fee of £5 per child may be charged per 15 minutes, e.g. £5 for collection before 6:15pm, £10 before 6:30pm.
Children in our custody may leave the premises with the person named on the child’s registration form and our staff must be satisfied by their identity. If you or your nominee is collecting your child for the first time, please make yourselves known to our staff. If you wish someone not named on the registration form to collect your child, we must be satisfied that this is with your permission and that the person collecting the child knows an agreed password.
If we believe that your child is unwell we will contact you to come and collect them.
