What is WIS Kids?

WIS Kids is the before and after school club for children attending Woodthorpe Infant School.  Our WIS Kids’ members of staff are employed directly by the school, enabling the club to follow the same policies as those used by the school during the school day. This allows for greater consistency and continuity for the children when transitioning between WIS Kids and school at the start or end of the day.

At WIS Kids:

• We are passionate about providing a welcoming, safe, nurturing and enriching environment for all.
• We strive to provide childcare that parents feel really happy with, secure in the knowledge that all children will be having fun, engaging in structured activities and also have time for some homely downtime.
• We aim to strike a balance between relaxation and stimulation.
• We listen to the children about what they would like to do and plan our sessions to incorporate this.

Before School

• 7.30am - 8.45am
• Your child will be welcomed by one of our experienced team.
• We offer a broad range of choices for breakfast, e.g. toast, pancakes, crumpets, fruit and a range of cereals (chocolate hoops, honey hoops, rice krispies and weetabix).
• There will be a range of pre-planned activities for your child to access.
• Of course, if your child needs a slower start to the day, we will provide a quieter, homely space for them too.

After School

• 3.30pm - 5.45pm
• Your child will be collected by one of our experienced team.
• We offer a varied snack which includes wraps or bread with a filling of chicken, cheese, cucumber, peppers and sugar snap peas.
• We can accommodate different working patterns, and children can be collected at anytime to suit you.
• There will be a range of pre-planned activities for your child to access, including outdoor play, weather permitting.
• Our WIS Kids staff get to know parents well and know who to expect.  Should there be somebody different collecting your child, please contact the school office or, if after 4 pm, message Mrs Buckby on Class Dojo.
