We are improving the way you book Breakfast and After School club!

We are very excited to let you know that from Friday 4 July you will have the ability to book your child’s Breakfast and After School Club sessions yourself via Arbor.

During the Autumn Term (September – December) you will have the option to book using the new self-service function on Arbor or continuing to use the forms as in previous terms. We are using both methods during this first term so that you can become familiar with the self-service function.  All bookings for and after January 2026 will then need to be booked via Arbor and the forms will no longer be available.

You will already be familiar with using the Arbor App for your child, to pay for wraparound care, meals, trips and view current wraparound care bookings.

Why are we moving to this way of booking Breakfast and After School Club?

With better control of your child’s bookings, you won’t need to contact the office, making it quicker for you, as there will be no time delay.  Sessions can be booked on Arbor 24 hours before the session starts.
