Age appropriate activities will be planned for each group, ensuring a fun, active and creative environment for all. We have qualified Early Years members of staff within our OOSC team.

Times

The before school session is open from 7.30am until 8.50am. Please note the last breakfast is served at 8.15am. The junior school children are walked across to the Junior school at 8.30am where staff stay with them in the playground until the bell goes.

The after school session runs from 3.15pm – 6.00pm. Junior school children are collected from the junior school hall by OOSC staff and walked across to the infant school. Infant school children are taken to OOSC by teachers/TA’s who are in their classrooms.

After school sessions offer a light snack for the children (see menu) which rotates on a rolling 3 week basis. Our staff have their food hygiene qualifications and allergy awareness certificates. Please keep us up to date with any allergies and intolerances.

OOSC closes promptly at 6.00pm. If you are late picking up your child/ren we will have to charge for an additional session to cover the cost of staff and overtime payments this will be charged per child not per family.

There will be no refunds for sessions missed or cancellations, unless cancelled by the school.

If you would like to swap a session providing we have space and have received 48 hours’ notice where possible we will accommodate this.

Please do not drive up the school drive unless you have been given permission i.e medical emergency.

Child/ren not attending

If your child/ren are unwell or not attending a session please let OOSC know via email as soon as possible. It is not the infant or junior schools responsibility to inform OSSC about your child’s absence.

How to Book

OOSC uses an online booking and payment system called SchoolsBuddy.

In order for you to be added to SchoolsBuddy you will need to contact outofschool@rotins.notts.sch.uk

so that the club coordinator can add you to the system.

Bookings can then be accessed and booked with either an immediate cash payment or a childcare voucher payment. We accept all voucher types.

Please note that we do operate a booking cut off system. All bookings must be made through SchoolsBuddy 48 hours in advance of care, this ensures that we have the correct staffing levels and food for those sessions.

If your child/ren are not booked into a session we will not be able to accommodate them (unless emergency circumstances).
