The Mangotsfield and Emersons Green Out of School Club

Welcome to the Mangotsfield Out of School Club that was formed by parents from both Emersons Green and Mangotsfield CofE Primary Schools in October 2000.

The club operates on a non-profit making basis and is registered with OFSTED. As such, the club 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. Each parent receives a handbook giving details of operating procedures and policies. You are invited to offer whatever comments you may have and are encouraged to attend our Annual General Meetings (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. In so doing, you may be aware that the club runs regular trips and outings during the holidays.

Please read our latest OFSTED report.

In Service Days/School Closure

The club aims to open whenever possible on an in-service day. For example, should one school open normally whilst the other is closed (e.g. has arranged an in-service day), the club will operate the before and after school club for the school that remains open. In the event of both schools closing or hosting an in-service date simultaneously, the club will make every effort to convene the holiday club but cannot guarantee success as this relies on staff availability and there being sufficient demand for places (see section 3.2.2 of the Handbook for fee arrangement during such circumstances).
