We know that most working families require childcare outside of normal school hours, which is why we offer before and after-school wraparound care to all children who attend Ashbridge Independent School.
Our school wraparound care is open to all Ashbridge Independent School pupils as part of their inclusive fees and is available from 7am to 8:40am in the mornings and between 3:45pm and 6pm in the evenings. Ashbridge pupils can attend wraparound care without a prior booking.
Based in our dedicated school care room, The Clockhouse, pupils in wraparound care can enjoy a wide range of activities. The Clockhouse provides children with a welcoming, relaxed and nurturing environment in which they can socialise with their peers, explore their interests, and prepare themselves for a day in school under the care of our qualified and enthusiastic staff.
Following a day in school, pupils requiring after-school care are able to unwind and relax in the comfortable environment of The Clockhouse. During this time, children are free to explore their interests and hobbies, play outdoors with their peers, catch up on homework or simply sit back and relax.
During after-school care, pupils are offered a nutritious snack comprising a sandwich and a selection of fresh fruits. Our experienced and qualified staff lead pupils in activities, creating a fun environment for them to spend time in until they are ready to be collected.

You don’t need to pre-book before- or after-school care. We open at 7am. Children can be dropped off at school with our qualified School Care team at any time between 7am and 8:40am when the school day starts. At the end of the day, any children who have not been collected at 3:45pm are signed into after-school care and can stay until 6pm. School Care is open every day, Monday to Friday, and always runs until 6pm, including at the end of school terms.
We know that children have long days in school, so wraparound care is designed to allow them to relax, play with their friends, and take part in activities they enjoy. Wherever possible, children play outside, but we also have a wide range of indoor activities, including Lego and other construction equipment, craft materials, and board games.
In the mornings, children arriving before 7:45am are offered a fresh bowl of porridge to give them the best start to their day. After school, a range of sandwiches and fresh fruit are offered at 4:45pm, when many children have returned from their clubs. Children enjoy eating together with their friends from across the school, and providing this afternoon snack ensures parents have longer to prepare the evening meal after a busy day at work.
Holiday care is available to both Ashbridge and non-Ashbridge pupils of primary school age.
