After-school & breakfast clubs

After-school activities at Carden are delivered by the brilliant PLAY. PLAY at Carden was recently inspected by OfSTED, and the report highlighted that pupils “enjoy their time in this friendly club. They are happy and well cared for by the attentive staff”. It also noted the positive relationships between staff and pupils, and said pupils “learn good social skills and make new friendships”.

Carden offers a well-rounded and inclusive childcare experience. Everyday you will find structured activities catered for all children to enjoy. We have specialist sports activities as well as creative activities everyday.

For those children that would rather lead their own play, we will also have a range of indoor and outdoor activities such as games, small world, construction, book nooks and sensory play.

Lego Club – Each week will have a different theme with children being able to create, discover and explore the world of Lego. This is a great activity to get children thinking, creating and learning for themselves through play. It’s also a great for children to be social and have a great time as well!

Gymnastics – Gymnastics is a sport that contains all the essential elements of physical literacy and is an excellent asset in a child’s physical development. It is also highly popular with boys and girls of all ages. We cover a whole range of gymnastics aspects from individual skills to group performances. We always try and use as much equipment and apparatus as possible to keep the sessions fun, exciting and different each week.
