Dear Parents/Carers
WELCOME to
.
R.A.S.C.A.L.S
The following pages outline our scheme giving full details of our service as well as contacts and fees.
Staffing
A full time Play Leader and Play Workers will staff the centre. All workers are qualified and/or
experienced and regularly undertake training to update their skills. Volunteers and college placements will
assist them. Volunteers and college placements will be supervised at all times by existing staff members.
Security checks will be carried out to ensure persons selected meet the criteria to work with children.
The club encourages volunteers to participate from the local area who are interested in childcare as a
career. The persons selected will receive on the job training to achieve National Vocational Qualification
(NVQ) at a level according to their ability.
Out of School Club
We cater for children between the ages of rising 4 and 11 years and are registered with Ofsted to take
up to thirty children.
Once the children arrive at the Club, they are given light refreshments and are settled to participate in a
wide and varied child centred programme of activities.
If you would like to secure a place at the Club, please complete the registration form at the back of the
pack along with the signed Club Agreement.
If you have any queries you can contact us at the Club on 023 80737207. Ask for the Admin Manager,
Karen Mott.
Please feel free to ask any questions. We are happy to help.
We hope your child/children enjoy their stay at R.A.S.C.A.L.S. Club.
