Childcare

Little Explorers is a private extended nursery provision in addition to the funded 15 hours of Nursery available to 3 year olds. The children start their day in Little Explorers and are then taken into the school nursery for their nursery session.

The session starts with a welcome song and registration. Children’s activities are carefully planned around their interests, usually focusing on favourite stories and celebrations to ensure that learning opportunities are achieved through play. Activities include: play dough, sand, painting, sticking, model making. There are also many small world activities such as: dinosaurs, mini beasts, wild animals etc. There is also a role-play area that changes regularly to become a house, shop, hospital, or an office. Writing and mark making is an important part of development so a writing and mark making area is always available. There is also a quiet area where the children can have a look at a book on the comfy cushions or even lie down if they are feeling tired.

At 11.30am the lunchtime assistants collect the children and take them to the dinner hall.

The lunchtime assistants will supervise the children while they eat their lunch.

Lunchtime assistants will supervise the children outside in the nursery playground.

The children are taken to the school-based nursery with all of their belongings to begin their afternoon session at 12:30pm. Parents collect their children from the school nursery at the end of the day.

For more information on Little Explorers please contact the school office.

Fun Zone is a modestly priced, fun-filled, after-school childcare service. Children can attend the Fun Zone straight from school until 5:45pm. During the session children are offered fun and motivating activities such as art and craft, sport, computing and other games.

Children are also provided with a drink and a snack during the course of the session.

Please speak to the school office if you wish to enquire about reserving your child a place.

We recognise that breakfast is an essential meal of the day. Research proves that pupils who have eaten a good breakfast, can study better. With this in mind, Lynch Hill offers a Breakfast Service for pupils. They can attend every morning from 8am. This service costs just £2.00.  Children can choose between a hot option, several different cereals or toast and a choice of drinks - milk, juices and tea.

The service offers children the opportunity to eat in a social setting and have a relaxed start to the day by meeting with their friends.

Break time snack service (suspended due to COVID)

We appreciate that children can get a little hungry during the morning, so, to help them study efficiently for the remainder of the morning, we offer a healthy snack service. Children can purchase a range of foods including:  toasted sandwiches, bagels and fruit. This service is very popular and is open throughout the morning break.
