Breakfast Club starts at 7:30am and runs to 8:40am when the children who attend are taken to their classrooms to start the school day.

Kids Club starts immediately after school finishes at 3:20pm.  Children are escorted from their classes to the dining hall where Kids Club is based.  After the register is taken children have a variety of activities to choose from and are able to eat a light meal.  The club runs until 6:00pm but you can collect your child at any time before this.

If you are interested in booking your child in for either Breakfast or Kids Club please email your request to BreakfastandKidsClubs@bentfield.essex.sch.uk and complete the Wraparound Care consent on your child's profile in Arbor.

Please read the Terms & Conditions and note that we require payment for both Breakfast & Kids Club in advance of attendance. Payments can be made on Arbor in your child's Wraparound Care account.

Both Breakfast & Kids Club accept childcare voucher payments - if you wish to pay by voucher please contact the school office for further information. 

TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR BOOKING AND ATTENDING BREAKFAST & KIDS CLUBS

The Clubs will operate during school term time only. 

Contact for bookings and any other correspondence should be made to the email address for the clubs which are monitored by staff only during the following periods, from 7.30am - 08.45am and and 3.30pm - 6pm, Monday - Friday - BreakfastandKidsClubs@bentfield.essex.sch.uk

The Clubs are self-funding and all income goes towards the staffing, food & equipment used in the clubs.

Before we can accept your booking, you must read and agree to the following terms and conditions:

• Before bookings can be made you must agree to the Wraparound Care consent on your child's profile in Arbor.
• Regular bookings should ideally be made at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the new term or half term when your child will be attending. These bookings will be given priority.
• Payments should be made in advance of attendance. You should advise the school office if you intend to make payments by childcare vouchers. If paying by voucher, your child's Wraparound Care Arbor account should be pre-loaded with funds prior to your child attending.
• Adhoc bookings are priced slightly higher than regular bookings and can be made on Arbor up to 48 hours in advance of attendance. Adhoc bookings must be paid for in advance of attendance.
• On very rare occasions and due to unforeseen emergencies there may be a possibility that we can allocate your child a space at shorter notice (less than 48 hours prior to attendance). However, this is purely at our discretion and will be based on available spaces and staff members at that time. These emergency bookings will be priced at the Adhoc booking price.
• If your child is ill whilst at the Club, staff will contact you to collect your child. No refund will be given.
• In the event a booking is made and your child does not attend a charge will still be made.
• We do offer a sibling discount in Kids club for termly bookings made (i.e. if there are 3 siblings attending the eldest pays the full charge, 2nd has £1 reduction & 3rd has a £2 reduction for each session)
• No sibling discount is available for Adhoc bookings or for Breakfast club.
• Anyone picking a child up from Kids Club will be expected to sign them out of the club using the electronic screen in the atrium. All children must be collected by 6pm.
• Please do not arrive late to collect your child from Kids Club. Children can become distressed if they think they have been forgotten. If lateness is unavoidable then please email BreakfastandKidsClubs@bentfield.essex.sch.uk to let us know. Please be aware that the school telephone (01279 813626) and admin email (admin@bentfield.essex.sch.uk) is not monitored after 4pm on weekdays or at weekends.. 
• Parents who are late collecting their child from Kids Club will incur a penalty charge of £5.00 for any child collected up to 15 minutes after the official closing time of the club and £10.00 up to 30 minutes. Any child left for more than 45 minutes where no contact has been made will result in Social Services being contacted and/or the police.
• If you wish to cancel a regular place you must give at least half a term’s notice (Adhoc bookings once made cannot be cancelled and will be charged)
• Staff will administer medicine in line with the school policy. Please see the school website for further information. https://www.bentfieldprimaryschool.co.uk/medical-information/
• Should you have cause for complaint about the Club there is a formal complaints procedure. We hope any concerns can be sorted out informally with the Supervisor.
• Parents should use the atrium entrance to the school on drop off or collection. The inner door will be locked so please use the RING doorbell to alert members of staff for Breakfast & Kids club when you arrive.
• Parents must inform the Club of any change of contact details or dietary requirements of their child. Please ensure your child's profile in Arbor is correct and up to date.
• Club fees should be paid for in advance at the time of booking – no debts should be accrued. Your child will not be able to attend either Breakfast Club or Kids Club while there is a debt. If you have a problem paying the fees or your circumstances change, please talk to the Business Manager in the school office. All matters will be dealt with as quickly as possible and with discretion.
• We expect children to follow the same expectations of behaviour that we have at school. If your child does not follow the rules of the club, and after consultation with you and due warning, then your child’s place may be forfeited.
