Can anyone give me a rough idea of the hourly rate (if that's how it's charged) of breakfast and after-school clubs for our local primary schools? Would like to know specifically re Goodrich but also interested in others.


Also would like to know the times available, and what sort of activities go on.


Thanks

My Son used to go to St John's breakfast club which was ?3 per day from 8am. they get a choice of cereals/toasts and have games/activities before school. He used to also go to Rainbow after school club which was approximately ?8.50 per day, but cheaper to pay for the full week than 4 days and ran until 6pm. Here they had a snack and a drink (fruit/jam tart usually or a hot dog on Fridays), various activities games/crafts/art/dance and occasional visitors like fire brigade/dance teacher (very occasional though). I know Rainbow has places as I still speak to the lady that runs it but probably too far away for you. Hope it helps give you a bit of an idea though.

My 2 are at breakfast and after school club at Goose Green school. I pay when I use it but there are sibling/full time discounts. I pay ?2 per child breakfast club and they get a choice of hot food/cereal/toast etc and a range of activities such as model making and football, and lots of stickers (I ate all my breakfast etc etc!) it opens at 7.30am and is on the school site.

The after school club is also on site which means that they can go to after school classes (ballet, drumming whatever) and then taken to after school club where they have board games, arty crafty activities, a small range of hot and cold tuck (included in price) computers (with strict time limit!) and organised physical games and Friday film club, they take the children to Grove Vale library for Chatter books and maths club. That is open til 7pm and is ?7.50 per child. I was really worried about it as they had always had a nanny but they love the range of activities and the fact that they see their friends and make new ones across the school years and that it means mum or dad always pick them up. Also the school run the after school club which means that it is joined up in terms of communication and staff.

Breakfast Club


The Goodrich Breakfast Club runs in the upper hall from 8am-9am and is run by Goodrich Learning Mentor Kamil Szoma. Kamil and his team serve hot breakfast, cereal, juice plus organised activities, all for ?2.50 a day. The Club is proving very popular but we do have some spaces left. If you would like your child to attend (for 1 or up to 5 days), then please contact Kamil via the school office.


Parents wishing to arrange after school care should contact Gumboots After School Club, a community organisation who provide an after school club on the school premises with a collection service from the classes. I think this is ?9/day and runs 3.30-6 but worth checking direct with Gumboots, also for details of what they do. The man that runs it (Dave) seems really helpful and friendly.

There is also a local provider of pre/afterschool care that pick-up /drop off at local primaries. They are called Palmtrees (rated "good" by Ofsted), and their number is 7732 0117 -just mentioning this as school afterschool clubs can be full!

My son goes to Heber which luckily has a breakfast club (from 7.30am), (downside, cost ?10!). I think that's so expensive and by the looks of it other local primary schools have a cheaper service.

After school club is also ?10 at Heber which I don't think is too bad as it's on till 6pm and they do loads of different activities. You get a week for ?35 (per club).

It's great that so many primary schools provide breakfast club and after school club and I don't mind paying for that service even if ?10 for breakfast club is pushing it a bit!

Hi there,

About to adopt and in process of looking for reception class for oldest.

Have appointment to visit Heber and as you say your son goes there I was wondering if you could let us know your opinion.

Would also appreciate any other reviews/recommendations of primary schools in East Dulwich area.

Thanks very much.

    • Thanks for all of the thoughts. I have a letter from searches which outlines the scope of work but doesn't mention any work guarantee as far as I can see. I agree that next step is to check directly with the major works team. Tim .
    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
