Giggles After School Club & Holiday Scheme

Thank you for enquiring about a place at Giggles After School Club and Holiday Scheme.This pack provides you with information about our background, how we work, and the activities that are available for your child/ren in our club. We are OFSTED registered at all of our sites.

Giggles was set up and established in September 2003 by three young ladies; Miss Natalie Parker, Miss Natasha Parker, and Miss Charlene Lindsay. We have grown from an A.S.C with 6 children on our records having two sites offering A.S.C & holiday scheme service.

At Giggles we aim to give children the right opportunity to learn, play & become independent young people. We hope to offer the best quality of childcare available for an affordable price. We hope to provide you with the peace of mind that your child is being cared for and having fun in a safe place.

All Giggles services provide children with a home from home. We present children with good role models as children learn through imitating adult behaviour, interaction and adult’s attention.

We are OFSTED registered.
