Title says it all really.

How are they run and funded, generally?

Does anyone know?

My DD attends school breakfast club at £3 per session
& after school club which is run from the local day nursery(playworkers collect them from school)at £15 per session - 3 - 6pm.
Yes i know its extortionate but its the only after school club in the area!

Our school (as do all schools in Glasgow) has a free breakfast club from 8.15. No booking required. It is run by the school dinner ladies. At 8.45, the iids go out into the playground where they are supervised (along with all the other kids) by the school janitor until the school bell goes at 9.00.

Out of School Club is at another school, which collects the kids from two other school (ie 3 schools in total) and take them there (5-10 minute walk away). It is open until 5.45 and they get a snack as well as activities

It is run by a management committee consisting of a group of parents and has a full time "manager" as well as the carers. The manager works "on the floor" as wll. It s a limited company with charitable status. It gets some funding from the local council.

I think it costs £40 a week. If you sing the contract, you get that rate for every week of the year - including the holidays, when the car is from 8.15 ( or 8.30) until 5.45 and inlcudes excursions (trips to museums, cinema, country parks) but you have to supply a packed lunch.

If you haven't signed the contract, it costs £60 for the week (I think) and you also have tp pay "retainers" (£10) for every time you don't use the service.

Ours doesn't have a breakfast club but popular after school club that parents pay for. Run by an outside co on school premises.

We are clearly very lucky! Our school (where I work and DS goes) has breakfast club everyday. No booking required, it costs 50p per day or two pound for the week with discounts for two or more siblings and starts at 8.15. Children are supervised in the hall until they go to class at 8.50. its very popular, older kids take the money, do registers and teaching assistants are paid to run it.
