Welcome to Breakfast Club
The Breakfast Club was opened on the 9th Sept 2005.
My name is Mrs
Horton and I am the Club’s Manager, I am also the
Teaching Assistant in Yellow Class (Reception). The
Club’s Assistant is Mrs Lawless. We operate a drop
in facility (pre-booking not necessary).
The
Club is now open from
7.45am-9am
to the whole school. Our charges are £3.00
from
7.45am,
£2.50 from
8am
and £1.00
from 8.30am (which excludes Breakfast.)
The Club has children from the Nursery and Main School and we encourage the older children to play with and help the younger ones and any new children settle in, they are helped by the two children which have been chosen to be breakfast buddies. This is a fantastic opportunity for making new friends.
We have found that the Nursery children settle quicker when they come to the main school because they are so used to coming into the hall and they already know so many of the older children.
We
have lots of activities planned throughout the year,
most of which are linked to an event in the calendar
for eg. Xmas, Easter, Mothers/Fathers Day etc. In
addition to this we have games both physical and
board, books to read, puzzles and Soft toys.
A reward system has
recently been introduced to encourage good
behaviour, being helpful and good manners. The
children can receive a certificate which is given
out each month, they also receive stickers. We have
a Front of Line system where each child gets a turn
at leading the rest of the children into the
playground.
As a result of a couple of surveys carried out by the Breakfast Club we have implemented additions to our menu (within SCC guidelines for nutrition) and also as a result of suggestions made by the children about what they would like to do at the club, new games and toys.
The following is part of our fantastic range of healthy foods and drink available on a daily basis. The following drinks and cereals are made with full fat or semi-skimmed milk according to guidelines.
Head Start Omega 3 Bread, Hovis Best of Both, Kingsmill 50/50.
White and Wholemeal Bread Muffins, Healthy Eating Pancakes & Croissants.
Multigrain Cereals, Wheat Flakes with Fruit, Shreddies, Rice Crispies and Weetabix etc.
A selection of fruit including grapes, oranges, apples & Bananas etc.
Petit Filous Yoghurt with fruit etc.
Fresh Water, a selection of fruit juices and milk.
We
do on special occasions have milkshakes and hot
chocolate in the winter months.
If you are interested is coming along to the breakfast club please see the Breakfast Club Manager or the office for more information.
We are all very friendly and we look forward to seeing you at Beauclerc’s Breakfast Club.

In our school surveys the feedback that we have received about the Breakfast Club has been very positive and it is clear that the children love coming and have fun.
