Homely environment
The club is based in a classroom at Westfield First School. In the club children will be able to access a quiet area for reflective play or homework studies, floor play activities, art and craft and other table top activities. Other activities include using the computers, construction materials, reading, imaginative and role play toys and physical activities such as PE and dance.
We will also be inviting some community organisations to introduce some exciting activities to the children. We have access to the outside environment where children can play on the large field or in a fenced activity play area.
