Breakfast & After School Club

Lime Hall School Club is registered with Ofsted and we are  based at the  Moulsham Lodge Methodist Church which is behind the Moulsham Lodge shops, opposite the Clinic..

After School Club Starts at 15.15, we will collect the children from school and walk them back to the Hall, the children are offered a snack and they are free to play with a wide variety of activities. These may include outdoor play. Sports activities, arts & craft, games, small world play, Music & Movement and a quiet area should the children want to do Homework or read a book. 

What we provide

The food we provide at the Club is not intended as a substitute for a main evening meal. We provide a snack when the children get back from school and a Light tea at about 4.45 We promote independence, by encouraging the children to prepare their own snacks, and to clear away after themselves. Fresh drinking water is available at all times. We meet individual dietary requirements and parental preferences wherever possible. We recognise the importance of healthy nutrition for children delivered in a calm, friendly setting. We allow children to decide if they want to have snack/tea and request that food be consumed whilst sitting at the table.
