Transport
Our first priority is the safety and wellbeing of our children. We strive to provide a friendly and caring environment where parents can feel at ease, knowing their children are safe, loved and cared for.
​
We ensure all children in our care are dropped off and collected from their respective schools and extra murals on time.
​
Homework
After a long day at work, no parent wants to struggle with homework and dinner and bed times. Therefore at Little Mead Aftercare, we ensure all children participate in supervised and assisted homework sessions daily.
​
At assessment and exam time we focus on providing extra revision and assistance to those in need.
Holiday Care
Every school holiday, our children are welcomed for full day care from 07h00 to 17h30. We provide breakfast and Lunch daily and parents are required to pack a snack.
​
We engage everyone with a full and exciting holiday programme with a different activity each day.
