Welcome to our Breakfast Bees and Bumblebees web page! 

We have a great many play resources, let your imagination run wild!

Our aim is to provide high quality, wrap around care, which meets the needs of both parents/carers and children from Nursery through to Yr.2 at Mrs Bland’s.  For you, as a parent/carer, this means knowing that your child is safe and happy in a club that is reliable and offers high quality, consistent service.  For your child it means an environment that is safe and supportive, encouraging yet challenging.  It's a place to be with friends and to make new ones, to try out new, exciting activities, to relax when needed, but most of all, it's a place to have fun and enjoy.

 

Below we have given a short introduction to the way our club operates and some of the rules we follow in order to keep everyone safe and informed.  Please see the attachments below for our full registration and information pack, if you need further help or information please contact a member of staff or the school office.

The system has been designed so that you can book your child/children onto the sessions that you require either on a 'contract' basis, if you need the same regular sessions booked each week, e.g. Monday AM, Wednesday PM and Thursday PM. Or if you need a more flexible arrangements, e.g. shift pattern, then you can book individual sessions through the 'ad-hoc' booking. Confirmation emails will be sent out once your child has been confirmed a place. 

The academic year has been set up so once you have added your sessions, you will only have to inform us of any changes to your child's details.

You will be invoiced in advance for each month around the 20th/21st of the preceding month, on those with regular contracted sessions. All Ad-hoc bookings will need to be paid for in advance.

To cancel a session please contact blandsbee@mrsblands.w-berks.sch.uk  as the current notice period of 4 weeks still applies. To add an additional session you just need to add an ad-hoc booking, the system will tell you if there is space available. If space is not available then please contact the office or finance@mrsblands.w-berks.sch.uk  to see if we can help.
