Charlton Primary School offers two wrap-around childcare provisions. The Hive is run and managed directly by the school, while the Charlton Breakfast and After School Club is independently run and administered.

The Hive – Before and After School Club

Based in the Lodge at Charlton Primary School

The Hive provides wrap-around care for children aged 3–11 years (Pre-school to Year 6) and is run and administered directly by Charlton Primary School. It operates from the Lodge, located next to the school.

The Hive provides a safe, friendly and inclusive environment where children can relax, play and take part in stimulating, child-initiated activities. The provision reflects Charlton’s values and ethos and offers a more relaxed setting than the school day.

Children can enjoy a range of activities, including:

• Board games
• Drawing and painting
• Construction
• Reading
• Time to relax and socialise with friends

We see The Hive as a ‘home from home’ — a welcoming space where children can unwind and choose activities that interest them.

The Hive is managed by Jo Smethurst.

All staff are DBS checked and are committed to ongoing training and professional development.

Charlton Breakfast and After School Club

Catering for Children in Reception to Year 6 Charlton Breakfast and After School club is run and administered independently.

Based on site within the Charlton Primary school building we offer easy transition for the children at the beginning and end of their day.

We follow the PARS playwork theory, which is child led play without influence from adults. We actively encourage the children to follow the school values, Happiness, Kindness, Responsibilty, to ensure a consistent approach throughout their day. We aim to provide each individual child with a wealth of resources and activities to encourage their creative urges. The children can freely access indoor and outdoor play with spaces to relax, enjoy a book or quiet game, play football, ride a bike or use the outdoor play equipment.

We offer a variety of breakfast choices including Toast, Cereals and boiled eggs. At After School Club we offer a hot meal prepared on site. Menus are provided to parents at the start of each term.
