About the Club
The club is held at the Log Cabin sited in the wonderful grounds of Tortworth VC Primary School.
It is a community-based, non profit-making organisation, run by a voluntary management committee.
The committee is responsible for the policy and practice of the club, including the rules, charges and employment of staff.
The committee is made up of parents, carers and volunteers, who are elected at the club's annual general meeting.
All registered families are notified of the AGM, but new volunteer committee members are welcome at any time.
It is important that the committee has representatives from all three schools that use our childcare facilities.
All our staff have experience and relevant childcare qualifications, hold Criminal Records Bureau enhanced disclosures and hold valid first aid certificates. Also they attend recognised training courses to enhance their professional skills and experience.
The Log Cabin is registered with Ofsted (EY285318) for 24 primary school age children, and is regularly inspected by Ofsted.
What we provide
Children are offered a varied programme of activities to meet their age range, including craft work, sport, painting, model making and free play.Themes and projects are used to enhance the wide variety of toys, games and books.
Children are encouraged to make their own suggestions with the emphasis at all times on fun.
Drinks and snacks are available.
