Club Information

Club Phone Number: 07765828548

Our Breakfast Club and After School Clubs at Alder Grove CE Primary opened in September 2020.

Both our clubs are run from an upstairs classroom. To find us, please enter the playground via the gate used for Foundation 2 children in the mornings (this is the gate furthest from the main reception entrance). Then go through the grey door and up the stairs. Please use the doorbell to ring for assistance. 

Please be aware that the gate will be locked for most of the time for security and safety so you may need to call the club phone for access. The door to the stairs will be open from 7:30 for morning drop off and from 4:00pm for afternoon pick up.

Advice For New Starters

We strive to ensure that every child settles well and enjoys their time in our care. 

If your child is in the Early Years or may be feeling anxious about joining us, please download and complete an ‘All About Me’ form (below) and provide any information that might help us to better understand your child. Completed forms can be emailed to us at office@funtastic.testing-noon.studio, handed to our staff at Breakfast Club, or you can ask your child’s teacher to pass it on to us ahead of After School Club. 

Alternatively, you can email us to request a phone call with a member of our team to discuss your child in more detail.  

It may be helpful to let the teachers know if your child is attending After School Club when you drop off too.

FAQs

Breakfast & After School Clubs

If you believe your child has left something at one of our Wrap Around Care clubs or Holiday Camps – please email office@funtastic.testing-noon.studio and we can check for you.

Please note that after any of our Holiday Camps have finished, lost property is returned to our Wokingham office, where it will be held for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, any water bottles and food storage containers/lunch boxes are disposed of and any clothing is given to charity.

Funtastic Kids always display any lost property at Holiday Camps towards the end of the holiday period.  It is the parent’s responsibility to follow up with any lost property they believe we might have within the given time frame and to collect it from our Wokingham office.

Unfortunately, we do not offer a part-session option.
There is a 10% sibling discount for the second and subsequent siblings offered on Breakfast & After School Club bookings where siblings attend the same sessions at some of our clubs. For more price information, please visit the specific webpage for the club or contact bookings@funtastic.testing-noon.studio for more information. There is a sibling discount for the second and subsequent siblings on Holiday Camp bookings. Please see our prices on our individual Holiday Camp webpages for more details.
All of our Holiday Camps and Breakfast & After School Clubs have their own phone number, which is displayed in our registration areas. Our main office numbers may not be answered at all times during the day so please take note of the club/camp number when dropping off your child.
It is important for you to give us as much information as possible before your child’s first day and record any information in the medical section.  It is a good idea to contact our director, Louise Holloway, for advice. Louise has experience as an inclusion manager for over 20 years and can support parents and staff to ensure that the child receives the best care we can provide during their time with us. Please note that we are a mainstream holiday camp and are unable to offer individual support (1:1 support) during the camp day. We always consider the safety of all our children when considering including a child with behavioural difficulties and the potential impact on staff to child ratios. For more information, email office@funtastic.testing-noon.studio
Only people listed as emergency contacts can collect your child.  If there is a change to this then please call us on 07715643412 to let us know who will be collecting your child with their name and a contact phone number.  You can set up a password online when booking that your collector can use.

We can not refund for illness (or swap for another date).  We would need 48 hours notice to cancel and refund. Please let us know, however, if your child will not be attending by calling 07715643412.
