Cranford Primary School and our friends at OHM provide a Breakfast Club and a variety of After-School Clubs to offer affordable childcare beyond regular school hours.

Wraparound care can have a positive impact on children’s outcomes in school. Research also shows those who participate in sports, like sports activities during wraparound care, display improved performance and social skills. There are many benefits and impacts of wraparound care for children, parents, and schools.

The Early Birds Breakfast Club is a fantastic way to prepare pupils for the start of the school day. Breakfast Club welcomes pupils from Reception to Year 6 and opens at 7.30am every morning.  Pupils have access to a healthy breakfast, including cereal, toast, fresh fruit and juice. Breakfast Club is run by an experienced staff team from OHM. For just £6 a day, students receive a nutritious breakfast and can engage in various art, sport and mindful activities before school begins. By fostering healthy eating habits, the Early Birds Breakfast Club helps students incorporate these practices into their daily lives.

Our After-School Clubs programme encourages children to develop skills in a variety of sports and to broaden their range of experiences and interests as well as helping parents to balance their work and family commitments.
