Dear Parents

Just to update you the Government has announced that some schools will be reopening on Monday 1 June 2020.Reception, Year 1 and Year 6. Unfortunately we are still unable to resume our normal service at this stage. I am aware that many of you are unsure wither to send your child back to school or not. So this makes it impossible for us to give a consistent service when we cannot guarantee our numbers. We very much look forward to seeing you all soon.

We are currently providing a service for key workers and this service runs throughout a normal school day 8.30 – 3.30 if you fall into this category please do not hesitate to contact us.

Urgent announcement

Regrettably we have just been informed today by Raynham Primary School that they will not be allowing Kidscape After School Club to operate from the 07/09/20 for the first two weeks due to their Academy social distance guidance, this differs to the Government guidelines.

We have been told that they will then assess the situation after the two week period and continue to assess on a weekly basis.

Therefore we are able to continue our service at Risley Avenue primary School, where the children will be taken by car to our Tottenham site.

If you would like your child/ren to be collected and attend our Risley Site from the 7th of September 2020. Please confirm with us by the 4 September 2020.

We hope this will be a short and temporary measure and we can resume are normal service.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Dear Parents /Carers

It truly has been a difficult year. We were hoping that it would be possible to provide you with our service for this October half term. Unfortunately this has not been possible. We have to ensure that all our children and staff are kept safe. We do have to take time to do are deep cleaning. Also many of you are still not back at work full time. 

So although afterschool club will continue, we hope to resume holiday club for the February half term 2021. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but we look forward to seeing you soon. 

We still have not been advised by Raynham Primary School when we can resume afterschool there we will keep you up dated as soon as we are told.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Dear Parents / Carers

I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe.  Just to keep you updated we do not have a confirmed date as to when school will resume. As you can appreciate it is very difficult to operate with very few children, Please advise us if your child is in school and you require our service, if we have the required number of children we could look at opening with a bubble in order to meet your needs.

Missing you all

Regards
