I have been asked to set up a before and after school club and a holiday club.

I have to do a presentation for the School Govenors - with options....

WHAT do parents want??? Any ideas???

Things like CRB/Child Protection/First Aid/Administering Medication/what to do if no-one collects are already sorted.

I tried this with another title and got no responses - so I thought I'd try again

sorry I think rereading it I got it a bit wrong what I meant was boy A goes MTWT but not F
boy B goes MWF, boy C goes WTF
etc

does that make sense?

each child does not have to go each session

At DS school they go from about 7.00 or 7.30 not quite certain, they have toast etc. have a play.

I think the dropping off times are done so that you can drop off any time after start.

after school they have some tea and play in playground {if fine} help with homework, and more playing. I am not quite sure what time they finish I would guess about 6-7pm

In the holidays it is also run. which includes using the school swimming pool, and the school playing fields. In the holidays it is open to children from other schools as DS friend who goes to different school went there because it is better than what was at her school.

It is not run by teachers from the school but by a woman who is an ex-mum. At the end of school she goes round with a clipboard collecting the children to take them to the rooms they use on other side of playground in music block.

Children don't always go every day but are booked in beforehand {don't know how much notice they have to give}

They all seem to enjoy it and they start from reception up to year 6.

HTH sorry I don't have first hand experience of what actually happens this is just what I have heard on grapevine or from DS friends who go there.
