Thank you for the interest in Belles & Tinkers Wraparound.
We are pleased to announce that we are able to offer this service.
For those new to the way wraparound works, hopefully this will answer
some questions for you. It is a service that will be provided by Little
Rascals and provides continuous child care after Nursery finishes at
11.30am through to 3pm.
We offer the complete child care provision too, so along with being able
to access childcare straight from Nursery, children will be able to come
to the already existing Breakfast Club and After School Club. Making us
an ideal choice to look after your children.
The benefits of Belles & Tinkers care extend beyond providing
convenient childcare for working parents, with studies showing that
after-school activities improve both physical and psychological health.
Partaking in after-school activities helps to broaden children’s interests,
introducing them to a range of enriching activities and sports that may
not be covered in the school day. They may even identify a new hobby
or interest. This time is a valuable way to further enhance social skills,
with children of all ages together in a more informal environment.
You will be able to use any voucher scheme you currently use
including the 30 funded government hours. It couldn’t be simpler!
The staff in Belles & Tinkers will be the staff that are currently employed
in the existing clubs and also work in the school too. All staff in club are
qualified to the highest of standards as expected from CIW our
inspecting body.
The manager and assistant managers have completed their level C of
safeguarding while the rest of the playworkers have their level B. All staff
are first aid trained and as well as having childcare qualifications also
have playworker qualifications. Both assistant managers are ELSA and
Trauma Informed trained.
Here are some of the things parents have been saying about us...
***** has an amazing time with you guys, never any complaints and so eager to go to school and wrap around every day. I am so grateful for all you do, he talks about all the staff and loves you all.
I am so grateful for all of the staff and how hard they work, ***** absolutely loves Belles and Tinkers, it prepares them for school better than private nursery in my opinion and I couldn't be any happier! Thank you!
All the staff are wonderful and attentive to each child’s needs. I watch him learn new skills and I ask him where he learnt that it’s almost always one of the wraparound staff. I love the fact that whilst in nursery 9:00-11:30 he remains in the same class for wrap around as well as some of the same staff. Class DoJo is regularly updated where parents get to see what their child has been up to. I love the fact they are outside rain or shine.
And here are some of our favourite pictures from this year so far...
