An Extended School...
Schools increasingly have an obligation to extend their opening
hours and make childcare available.
Farsley Farfield already has a privately run before-school, after-school and
holiday care facility on our premises that is run by Little People private
day nursery. Parents may book their children in, subject to places being
available, for any number of sessions on a regular or one off basis. The
facility is open 7.30 a.m. – 6.00 p.m. every weekday and every day during
school holidays except Bank Holidays. The children have access to a wide
range of indoor activities, can use the school’s super outdoor facilities and
have special trips arranged. Children can be taken directly to and collected
from school by members of Fun Club staff.
Little People also have a separate building for private nursery care for
children 3 months to 4 years. Children who attend our school Nursery
may be taken to and from a morning or afternoon session by Little People.
Telephone 2563951 or 2566495 (0-4 facility) for further details.
This wrap-around service works very well and integrates seamlessly with
our main school provision. Children may combine attendance at ‘Fun Club’
with an extra-curricular club run by the school; where this is the case it is
very important to inform the ‘Fun Club’ staff.
Mrs. Topp, the North building secretary, also has details of other local
child-minders.
“Little People Nursery, at Farsley Farfield, provides good
quality care...The setting is warm and welcoming for children
and parents...Children have many opportunities to explore and
investigate their environment both indoors and outdoors. Out of
school children enjoy a wide range of activities suitable for their
age, which helps them to relax after a day at school...Partnership
with parents is very good.” OFSTED 2004
