Our Clubs
Southwater Infant Academy
We have been running a successful breakfast and after school club for the children and families of Southwater Infant and Junior Academies since 2006. Based in the Infant Academy hall and consistently awarded OFSTED’s highest rating, we have become embedded within the school and the wider local community.
Each day and each session is different and the children arrive excited to see what is planned for them. Our daily craft activities allow the children to show off their artistic talents through our large display boards for the whole school to see. The junior children have their own space for their age- appropriate activities. Weather permitting we take the children outside every afternoon, where we have the choice of the playground, paddock, or ball space where the children can burn off excess energy and play group games and sports activities. Children can attend other after school activities and join us when they are finished.
This club is open from 7.45am until class registration, and from the end of the school day until 6.00pm.

Holbrook Primary School
Since opening in 2010, our club at Holbrook has grown rapidly, as word of mouth quickly spread through the playground that Kids Like Us was the place to be! Also consistently awarded the highest rating by OFTSED, this is no surprise to us.
Here, we are located in a secure double mobile classroom where the we have separate rooms for the infants and juniors with age appropriate games and activities in each room. Children enjoy the comfort and familiarity of the home-from-home club room, kicking off their shoes as they relax on the sofa, choosing their toys and games from the large cupboards. The children can “free-flow” between indoor and outdoor activities with ample outside space to play on the playground or field whenever the weather permits. The children’s art and craft work create stunning displays around the rooms which they proudly show off to friends and parents. Children can attend other after school activities and join us when they are finished.
This club is open from 7.45am until class registration, and from the end of the school day until 6.00pm.
A typical day
Breakfast Clubs
Our breakfast clubs open at 7.45am. Research consistently shows that children perform better when they have had a good breakfast. We encourage them to join us for their first meal of the day, where a typical breakfast will be a choice from a range of healthy cereals, toast and fruit juice.
After breakfast, children can choose to join in group activities or play quietly, this means they are calm and ready to start the school day.
After School Clubs
At the end of the school day, infant children are either collected by our staff. Junior children will make their own way to club.
During the afternoon, children are invited to enjoy a healthy snack and a drink to keep them going until home time. This is a social time for sharing news and experiences, group games and quizzes. Our craft and group activities are based on weekly themes, providing a focus for art, craft and colouring activities.
Recognition
Kindness and good behaviour is recognised each week by our ‘Top Banana’ and ‘Star Junior’ awards, and our Picture of the Week competition is a popular fight for prizes!
