The Mangotsfield and Emersons Green Out of School Club

The Club operates on a non-profit making basis and is registered with OFSTED. It is run by parents for parents, aiming to provide a high quality service of childcare and offer a safe, enjoyable environment for children aged 4 to 11 from both schools.

Communication with parents is very important to us and your views are taken fully into account in operating the Club. This handbook sets out our admissions process and gives a summary of operating procedures and policies and is hosted on the web pages of both schools. Full copies of our policies are available on request. You are invited to offer whatever comments you may have and are encouraged to attend our Annual General Meetings (usually held in March each year).

We welcome your support and involvement as we progress our aim of establishing a long-term future for the Club whilst continually looking to improve the service we offer. We are sure that all those who have used the Club during its first years of operation have been as delighted as we have with how well it has grown and entertained our children. We are, as ever, extremely grateful to all those who have made this possible - the staff, volunteers, and also to both our schools whose assistance and co-operation is much appreciated. As recognition of our success, the Club was awarded a Quality Assurance accreditation from Early Years in Childcare Development in May 2003 and this has formed the basis for further improvements in how the Club is run.
