Breakfast Club (7.30 to 8.30am)

Breakfast Club is available from 7.30am and includes a hot or continental breakfast each day of the week.

Breakfast Club takes place in the Senior School Dining Hall (IG). Children are dropped off with a member of the Junior School team who supervise them at the Senior School.

At around 8.00am, after they have finished eating, children are taken to the Morning Care Room in the Junior School or to the Early Years Centre where they are able to play and get ready for the day ahead, which starts at 8.30am.

Children can attend as many or as few mornings per week as you wish, subject to availability.

Breakfast Club needs to be booked in advance – please see How to Book below.
