Guest Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 How full is your Care Club and have you noticed a drop in numbers this year? I have spoken to a couple of out of school provides, one said her numbers had dropped and the other said they were the same as last year? Any tips on getting numbers up or are you all in the same boat with numbers falling? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_35577 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 on the contrary - our numbers in breakfast and after school club have grown-in part due to more reception children starting in September. On the flip side our nursery numbers have dropped though in the 2-3 age bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks Rachael. Without being unkind I think one of the people I was speaking to is making excuses for not necessary providing the right service for parents and frankly think they have built a poor reputation up in the community.

AnonyMouse_8457 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 That's a shame Sheila We lost a few to senior school but then gained a few in Reception so swings and roundabouts for us... We send out a letter to all the parents of the school just before each holiday, reminding them of the service. We are based in a building in the school grounds so quite visible to the children NOT going who have been known to badger their parents to let them come We find it's good for siblings when there is an after school club running at school - you know like a football or maths club or something - the parents put the siblings not going into our out of school club and only have to come up to school to collect once. If you see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
