What childcare options are available for ds/dd childcare when they go to secondary school?

[MrsS01]

As they're too young to walk home and stay on their own whilst you're at work and after school clubs are sporadic - what childcare options are availble?

Is there anywhere else he can go nto after school? Like a relative or a friend's house where he can have his tea and you can pick him up from there when you have finished work?
