After School Care
After School Clubs
Munchkins Childcare provide fun activities and care to pre-school aged and primary aged children at the end of the school day.
Our settings are child-led, varied and loads of fun! We believe that children have a voice so we follow their lead with play and our planning is based on their feedback. We love spending time both inside and out and we offer a healthy snack as part of our service.
Types of booking available:
We offer set contracted days i.e all Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the academic year (with one months written notice to cancel your set contracted days). Customers with set days are able to book additional and occasional adhoc spaces if we have availability.
Or we can offer emergency adhoc bookings of less than two weeks.
Locations:
St Anne’s Infants School, Bloomfield Road, BS4 3QJ (pick up via the main entrance)
Wicklea Academy, Wick Road, BS4 4HR (pick up via the sports hall double doors)
Times: End of the school day until 6pm
Age ranges: Please note we can take children once they have started pre-school (ages 3-4) and up until the end of Year 6.
Key Workers: If your child is in preschool or Reception, they will have a Key Worker named Sarah (Senior Play Worker). On the days she is off, Lorraine (Play Leader) will cover. You can contact them on stannes@munchkinschildcare.co.uk.
Prices: Prices available when booking. Any increase in prices will have one months notice of a change in fees.
Payments: All our settings are Ofsted registered and we take all online/electronic childcare vouchers.
After School Club bookings can be paid by card, childcare voucher or with certain funding. Payments are due monthly and by the end of each month (ie payment at the end of September for Octobers invoice). We please ask that payments are made on time to avoid late payment fees.
Please note, you will be required to pay at the time of booking if you have booked emergency care, an adhoc booking or require sessions in the same month.
Childcare Vouchers/Tax Free Childcare: Please mark the invoice as ‘paid by childcare voucher/tax free childcare’ sand add the information so the system registers the invoice as paid and so we know to look out for the payment. Then immediately send the payment from your voucher provider/tax free childcare account.

Food and drink/food allergies/dietary requirements: We offer a snack like toast, crackers, cheese, houmous, fruits, salads and vegetables. It is really important that you add your child’s dietary requirements and allergies to our online booking system so staff are aware. It is the responsibility of the parent/carer to keep the booking system up to date.
Medicine: Please contact the Play Leader at the setting so we can put the necessary paperwork in place before you book your child in. We will need a medical care plan filled in and medicine in their original container with a prescribing sticker. All medicine must be in date and our staff may require extra training for certain medication.
SEN and behavioural needs: Please note we can help assist children but we are unable to offer any 1-2-1 care due to staff ratios without specific funding for extra staff. If your child has any additional needs or behavioural needs it is really important that you contact us before you book your child on so we can explore how we can meet your child’s needs.
Please note: If you have not disclosed important information to us like medicine/SEN/behavioural needs/dietary requirements then we reserve the right to cancel your booking. Your child’s safety is our priority.
