Information for Parents/ carers.

Fryern School Breakfast Club provides childcare for parents from 7.45am Monday to Friday, term time only. We do not operate Breakfast Club on School Closure days.

Children need to arrive by 8.15am if they wish to have breakfast.

The session rate is £3.50. (irrespective of time of arrival) which includes a healthy breakfast.

Breakfast will consist of:

  • Fruit juice or a milky drink
  • Cereal and/or toast (with various toppings)

Educational games and toys will be provided for the children attending Breakfast Club after they have finished their breakfast.

We encourage children to develop positive personal and social skills associated with eating together e.g. manners, passing cutlery or toppings, conversation skills, turn taking and sharing.

In addition, we encourage the children to develop healthy habits, including washing hands before eating, and brushing teeth after breakfast. We ask that you provide a toothbrush and tube of toothpaste in anindividually named zippy walletfor your child to keep at breakfast club.

The Breakfast Club is fully inclusive and open to all children who attend Fryern Infant and JuniorSchools. We promote equal opportunities in line with School policy. We will take all reasonable steps to enable any children with disabilities to attend.

Parents are asked to detail any medication that their child is permitted to self administer e.g. asthma inhalers, and again your written consent must be given. Records of any medicine administered will be kept in line with the school policy. Junior School Staff will be informed if any child has needed to take medication whilst at Breakfast Club.
