After-school Childcare - Wraparound

Wraparound Childcare at Mawnan CE VA Primary School

At Mawnan CE VA Primary School, we are committed to providing our families with flexible and affordable wraparound childcare that aligns with our school's vision and values. As a small, successful, and ambitious primary school  we strive to offer an enriching and nurturing environment for all our children.

This childcare provision is an extension of Mawnan School and therefore operates in line with the school’s values, policies and high expectations of pupil behaviour.

Our Wraparound Provision

Our wraparound childcare, operating Monday to Friday from 3:15 pm to 6:00 pm during term time (excluding INSET days), offers a maximum of 30 places per day. This provision is based on our school site, allowing us to make use of our wonderful facilities and grounds to provide a variety of relaxing and engaging activities for the children.

 

We are excited to offer this flexible childcare alongside our existing extra-curricular activities, providing added convenience and peace of mind for our families. Our sessions have three timing options, with the option to book individual sessions or block bookings. We are committed to ensuring our wraparound care is both affordable and financially viable, and we will be regularly reviewing the timings and pricing to best meet the needs of our community.

Our session times and fees will be as follows:

Session 1  3:15pm – 4:15pm £5
Session 2  4:15pm – 5:30pm £5
Session 3  5:30pm-6:00pm £5

Booking a Place

To secure a place in our wraparound childcare, parents and carers will need to:

  1. Complete a registration form and return it to wraparound@mawnanschool.com or drop a paper copy into the school office. You can download a form from the website and email it or collect a paper copy from the school office. When your registration form has been submitted you will be given details about how to make and manage your bookings via ParentPay Clubs. 
  2. Book sessions at least 24 hours in advance, with payment required at the time of booking.
  3. It is your responsibility to cancel the club. Provide 24 hours' notice for any cancellations to avoid being charged for the session.
  4. For those using childcare vouchers, select the voucher payment option and request payment to our school account, which must be done at the time of booking. Please be aware that with some voucher providers it can take up to 5 working days to receive the funds.

Please note all sessions are subject to availability.

Snacks

Ensuring our children are well-fed and energised is a key priority. During the wrap-around care, we provide a selection of healthy snacks at 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm (for those joining after enrichment clubs). This allows our children to refuel and recharge, so they can continue to enjoy thier time at wraparound. 

Collection and Safety

The safety and well-being of our children are of the utmost importance. When collecting your child from our wraparound care, please use the main reception, and a member of the wraparound team will bring your child out to you. All parents and authorised adults will be required to sign out their child on the collection register before leaving the building.

 

The collection times are 4:15pm, 5:30pm or 6pm. Your child will then be brought out to you, please wait outside the reception area for your child unless invited in by a member of staff.

 

To ensure the safeguarding of our children, we reserve the right to refuse release to anyone not on the collection permission form, unless we have received prior email or verbal permission. We also expect all children to be collected promptly, with late pickups incurring additional charges.

 

Parents are expected to pick up on time. If a child is picked up late, ie: after 4.35pm or after 5.35pm the parent will be charged the full amount for the next session. The last pick-up and hand over times for after-school care is 6pm.

 

Please note that if a child is picked up after 6pm, there will be a £30 late fee charge applied to cover the cost of staffing.
