The Ark

Come and join us in 'The Ark': our wrap around care.  We offer a safe, happy, reliable and flexible childcare service which is open to all children from Whitegate CofE Primary School.

Breakfast Club runs from 7:30am until school starts.  The cost is £5.50 per session.

After school runs in three stages: until 4:15pm costs £4.50; until 5:15pm costs £9 and until 6pm costs £12.

Please drop-off and collect from the green gate by the loop.

If you wish to use The Ark, please read and sign the terms and conditions which can be found at the bottom of this page. This needs returning to the school office before your child can be offered a place.

Bookings and payments must be made a month in advance.

For standard cash payments, we use ParentMail for bookings and payments. For those using childcare vouchers, please ensure your provider has the correct account details - these can be obtained from the school office. Please fill a booking form in and return it by the beginning of each month to the school office. This can be found at the bottom of this page.

The club is managed by Mrs Winnington with Mrs Walker, Mrs Ho and Mrs Wilkinson being the day-to-day contact.

Staff are trained in first aid and food handling. We provide a wide range of activities during the week.   We go outside as much as possible; there are lots of games to play and times/spaces for children to 'chill' and rest after a busy day. 

In September, we will focus on these different activities:
