How much is your before-school club and what is included?

[Galena]

1hr care, cereal and something hot (I think something hot daily, sausages once a week), games to play.

£1.25

Wips, it is supervised if the dinner ladies are working at 8:10am! What other supervision would there be?

£2.70 with breakfast (choice of cereal, toast, bacon etc.) or £1.35 without. It runs from 8 - 8.50am and is free play in the preschool classroom (some older games etc. available). Deprived catchment, so probably subsidised or not-profit-making.

£5 for breakfast and care from 0730-0855

As a governor I might point the parents this direction to show them how good they've got it!

£5.50 including what sounds like an extensive selection and that which DD1 refuses to eat, activities etc. Crafts, toys, and TV actually, I think.

She loves and is most put out that she won't need to go next academic year.

It's open from 7.45 a.m. until 8.45 a.m. until school opens with no differentiation in price according to time of arrival (there is for departure at after school club)

£3 for 40 minutes

£3.40 for 30 mins, no food included - just a care facility. Runs 7.45 to 8.15 when school begins.
Useful for me twice a week,when dropping at 8.15 would make me late for work.

£2 per child for breakfast of toast, cereal, scrambled eggs, beans.

Games, colouring, reading, etc.

Open from 0730-0830.

£3 from 7.30 to 8.50. Includes cereal breakfast. Dd1 loves it

£1.50 7.30 to 8.40 breakfast, cereal and simple cooked breakfast. Also the TA's listen to children who need/want to read and help with homework.

£4 8:00-8:45 with no breakfast. It's run by the local football academy, so lots of ball skills and maybe a quick game. The boys and girls love it

The dinner ladies are serving food and doing prep for lunch. Not watching, helping or entertaining the kids. There's no sign in, they don't know the kids names, you don't have to book, there's no games or anything organised. So I consider it to be unsupervised.

Our school is in a deprived area and we had a few children hanging around outside before school, asking to come in to use the loos etc.
Our breakfast club started out being free then 20p a day (£1 a week) but with flexibility: if children don't have money they won't be turned away. Toast, cereal and milk. 8:30-9:00. It's run by staff voluntarily. I think they just sit around chatting and go outside to play afterwards but they've moved from the hall to a base classroom so might have more to do now.

Wips It's shocking that there's no sign in or proper supervision. What is to prevent a child from wandering off? Who would even realise that the child was missing if there is no record of who is supposed to be there? I understand that it is free but that is no excuse for inadequate supervision. Better to have a small charge and proper staffing surely?

£2 from 7.30am, £1 from 8am onwards. breakfast is cheap but extra e.g 10p for toast

Our school doesn't do any kind of breakfast club or early drop off which pisses me off greatly. It is hard not to feel jealous of you all, even if you're paying £9.75!

I rely on favours from other parents, or do swaps other them. On the upside it is free, but I'd happily pay for something I could rely on.

Blimey; our official one is £6 from 7.30-8.45 and includes cereal and toast, a few , puzzles and colouring in.

The foundtion unit run an alternative "early birds" for children up to KS1 which is £1 from 8.15, no breakfast, but colouring in, games, jigsaws etc. I am allowed to use it for both as I have one in KS1 and the other in KS2. When they are both in KS2 I'll have to pay £12 a day instead of £2, or just set them loose in the playground for half an hour as I can't afford that much!

I know!! I hated leaving ds1 there! It's an accident waiting to happen. I guess the problem is parents are now used to it being free and might object to charges suddenly being made.

1.50 for a cooked breakfast? That's awesome.
Dd1's is staffed by dinner ladies I'm pretty sure. They know all the kids names and seem to enjoy their jobs and the kids.
I wonder if the prices are regional. We are on Devon

£5 7.50am to 8.50am. Central London. includes cereal/toast and a changing menu of cooked options (e.g. poached eggs). Games after breakfast and then supervised running about like mad things in the playground before the gates open (apparently this is the best bit).

I would actually love a slightly cheaper non-breakfast version as my kids insist on eating the moment they wake up at 7am so end up either having two breakfasts or not eating the one I've paid for at school.

8am to 8.45 for £3.75 with no breakfast. Drop off at 8.30 onwards for £1

£3 8-8.45 no food.

Free breakfast club 8:00 - 8.50 (Wales)

Toast, cereal and TV/DVDs and colouring

£3.50, 8am - 8.55am. Toast, cereals. Free play.

Free breakfast club from 8.15, kids can choose from toast/cereal/ yoghurt (West Lothian)
