Our wraparound care also known as 'Yeti's' is available for the children of Slade Primary School before the start and after the finish of the school day.  Yeti's is based in our Small Hall in Deacon House and the children are looked after by members of the Slade team.

The morning session is available from 07:30 - 08:40 daily with a breakfast of cereal and fruit provided.  The charge for the morning session from 1 September 2024 is £5.00 per child.

After School Club

Our After School Club runs with two sessions:

Session 1 - 15:30 - 16:30

Session 2 - 16:30 - 17:30

The club closes at 17:30

Session 1 only is booked for children who require the provision for the first hour only with collection at anytime until 16:30.  The price for this session from 1 September is £5.00.

Session 2 only is booked for children who attend an After School Activity (https://www.slade.kent.sch.uk/page/?title=Extra%2DCurricular+Clubs&pid=25) for the first hour after school.  The Activity leader will ensure that the children booked into Session 2 are taken to Yeti's and they will be collected at anytime until 17:30.  The cost of this session from 1 September is £5.00.

Session 1 and 2 are both booked if the child requires Yeti's provision for the period after school, extending past 16:30, with collection at anytime until 17:30.  

The capacity of each Yeti's Session (Breakfast, After School 1 and After School 2) is 40 children.

Sessions will not be able to be booked without funds being in the account.
