Hi all,


Our son is starting at reception at Goose Green on Tuesday for the settling in week and will be going FT the week after would love to hear some opinions on the after school club Goose green offers, has your child been? Does he/she enjoy it, are you satisfied with them? Is the food any good...ETC...


Many Thanks

My son has been going to GG after school club since reception and is now in year 3. My younger son is also joining reception in sept and is due to start ASC then.


My eldest has always really enjoyed the club as lots of his friends go and he also gets to know kids from other years. When he started I was very impressed how children in the older years looked out for the reception children. They also do lots of craft, sports and art activities and get healthy snacks and even a meal if they want it.


However it's usually oversubscribed so if you want your child to go there you'll probably need to have applied (via the website) by now.

My children have been going to the ASC for several years. They make use of the playground and halls when they can and go on trips (park, library, adventure playground). My children are big eaters and they rarely need anything more to eat that they have had at the ASC. We have had some very impressive art/craft creations come back home. Also echo Dawn's comments re the mixing of years - the older ones really do look out for and play with the younger children who themselves then feel pretty chuffed that they have friends in others years.


We also use the breakfast club where they get a hot meal and squeeze in activities and exercise before school.


It's very reasonably priced and the hours make working acheivable (from 7.30 - 9 for BC and 3.30 - 6.30 ASC)

Welcome to the school - he's going to love reception, those teachers and that playground is awesome)

Can't really add much more than Dawn and mrslotte have said other than my son is quite a clingy child but after just 2 days of attending breakfast and after school club he had completely settled and often on occasion would ask if I could 'come back later' to pick him up.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
