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.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
