Breakfast & After School Club
Thank you for considering Clowning Around After School and Breakfast Club to provide you with your childcare.
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce Clowning Around to you. Clowning Around are specialist child care providers who run the After School and Breakfast Club at Ravenswood Play and Youth Centre. Clowning Around provides Ofsted registered quality childcare services for children aged 4 – 11 years.
Clowning Around’s mission is to support local parents who wish to work or study by providing good quality and affordable out of school childcare. Where children are provided with a constructive safe and fun environment before and after school.
Play Based Learning

Throughout your child’s stay at Clowning Around, they will experience a balance of varied and enriching play based learning and self-directed play activities such as:
Arts and crafts
Indoor and outdoor games
Games/puzzles
Cooking
Football
Access to books
Free Play
Help with homework
We also provide a light healthy snack for the children.
Our activities programme will be structured on a weekly basis, but if your child simply wants to relax after the vigour’s of the school day, read or talk with friends and members of staff, then that is possible too. A range of other activities will also be provided following consultation and observations of our sessions.
Our staff team are all qualified in childcare and any new members of staff undergo training while at the club in line with Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework requirements. Further training is made available to all staff to ensure that they are kept up to date with all new legislation.
We undertake Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks on all staff and volunteers for the safety of both the staff and the children.
