do you need to go regulary for outing such as park ,town center,shop after 4:00pm and for how long...?

Its rarely possible to include an outing after school because although my school children are booked til 6pm, all the children are collected at different times. So not enough time between collections to go out, do something and get back before the next collection. And mostly parents can't say exactly when they'll make it to my house anyway.

My routine is usually - snacktime when we get in, then we check who has homework and when its due in. I don't go overboard on this though- usual agreement with parents is that I will help them make a start and support them with topic work etc but usually they have plenty of time to get it finished and can do some at mine and some at home.
We do group activities, like music/singing, treasure hunts,shared reading, drama/role plays & performances and lots of arts & crafts, but its all child-led. Whatever I plan, I don't pressure anyone to take part they can choose what they want to do.
Parents can book dinners but only the ones who aren't collecting til after 5:30 and there is additional charge for the meal.

I have managed drop offs at football training, brownies and such-like but I don't like it because it leaves no time to do anything else except eat. Sometimes we've stopped at the park on the way home from school, but even then I've come back to find parent waiting impatiently in car.

Managing the walk is no problem, just the same as walking back from school. I put them in pairs and have the eldest child be the leader. Younger ones/children with no roadsense hold my hands or the buggy.

I am the same as Ayla I have 3 after school who all have different collections any time from 5-6. We get home from the school run about 3.45 and by the time snack time is over it is almost 4.30. We play in the garden and get out the toys, we don't tend to do art and craft as I never know when the parents are coming and the mindees take ages to leave if they are doing something to much fun when parents. I offer homework help but dont force the issue and parents are fine with that. Mostly the older ones just want to chill out and not be told what to do as they have had enough being at school all day
