• Childcare Vouchers and flexible Stay and Play sessions

  Thu 25 Feb 2016

  A letter will be coming home tonight with all children to advise what we are pleased to announce two beneficial changes to our Breakfast Club and Stay and Play Schemes - firstly, we are now accepting Childcare Vouchers for both clubs, and secondly the Stay and Play club now has 3 session options.

   

  Childcare Vouchers

  Most employers who provide Childcare Vouchers do so through a salary sacrifice scheme.  This means you agree to reduce your salary by a certain value, and receive Childcare Vouchers to the same value but pay no tax or National Insurance on these vouchers.

   

  To join your employer's Childcare Vouchers scheme you first of all need to complete a salary sacrifice agreement.  Your employer will give you directions on how to do this.  After your agreement has been submitted to your employer, they will reduce your salary by the requested amount and arrange for vouchers to be provided to you.

   

  For information about if the Childcare Voucher scheme is right for you, please visit:  www.gov.uk/childcare-vouchers-better-off-calculator.

   

  If you currently claim tax credits, please contact your local tax office to discuss (as each case is individual we cannot advise on whether paying for childcare will affect your entitlement).

   

  Stay and Play flexible sessions

  To offer more flexible after school care, there are now three sessions available to you:

   

  The full session – 3.15pm – 5.45pm - £8.50

   

  First session – this is a shorter session, from 3.15pm – 4.30pm and the charge is £5.00

   

  Second session – from 4.15pm – 5.45pm and the charge is £5.00.  This session is useful for parents whose children attend other after school activities, such as All4Sports, or a school run club.

  Sessions can be booked via the School Gateway (please make sure the School Office have your correct email address to ensure you can create an account) at www.schoolgateway.com or via the paper based form which you can pick up from the leaflet holders to the left of the school office (or just ask in the office).

• Breakfast Club and Stay and Play - opening on 1st February 2016

  Mon 01 Feb 2016

  It's very exciting news that LCPS will be running their own Breakfast Club and Stay and Play from 1st February 2016.

   

  Breakfast Club runs Monday to Friday, term time only, from 07.30am until 08.45am.  Stay and Play will be after school, from 3.15pm until 5.45pm, again term time only.

   

  At both clubs children will be offered different activities as well as a healthy food choice, such as cereal, toast or fruit.

   

  To book a session, the easiest way is via the School Gateway app where you can select the sessions you want and pay as you go.  Alternatively, you can complete a paper form (please see the School Office) and then we will add the sessions to the online system for you.
