Breakfast Club
Welcome to Bursledon Schools Breakfast Club. We have been running our successful breakfast club for many years now. The aim of it is to support pupils with a positive start to the day which is based on a flexible approach for parents/carers.
Places must be booked in advance via School Spider. However, if you have never booked for breakfast club before you must complete the attached registration form and return to the school office. You will then be given access to book via School Spider and also to confirm any additional details that might be required such as dietary needs. Please click here for the registration form.
The clubs for both schools are combined and are run together in the junior school hall.
The club runs from 7.45am until the start of the school day. It is £4.50 per session.
The club is managed by staff already employed in both our schools and they have excellent relationships and knowledge of the pupils.
Entry to the juniors is via the main front office door, where you and your child will be greeted by a staff member, and again please ensure your child is registered with staff before you leave.
Your child will then be welcomed by a member of staff and offered breakfast.
Breakfast consists of fresh juice, tea, milk, cereals, toast, and quite often pancakes or waffles.
If you want your child to have breakfast at the club, please ensure they arrive before 08.15am - after this time we are not able to provide food.
Also it is vitally important that you advise us of any allergies or intolerances that your child may have. We appreciate that you will probably already have told the school about this, and they will have let breakfast club staff know. However, to be absolutely safe, we would like you to talk to our breakfast club staff too about any issues that could affect your child.
After they have eaten, the children are then free to play in the hall - there are a range of activities to engage them with and we buy additional games or resources based on the children's interests.
At 8.30 the infant school pupils are escorted safely from the juniors directly into the rear of the infant school where they will be handed over to their respective teachers. The junior school pupils are allowed to leave the junior hall and make their way to their own classes as that time.
Breakfast club sessions must be booked and paid for in advance otherwise your child will not be allowed to attend. We have a number of ways that you can pay:
- Online – as soon as you enrol your child for breakfast club, it will show up on your School Spider account as a product for you to book sessions and pay by card.
- Childcare Voucher schemes including HMRC Tax free childcare scheme. Your employer may offer you a voucher scheme. They will advise you how to enrol on the scheme. We currently take vouchers from Edenred, Computershare, Fideliti, and Bravo Benefits, as well as HMRC. If you are planning to use vouchers please let our office know as we need the reference numbers. You will also need to upload Voucher information into School Spider for you to be able to use this against bookings.
