Welcome to Arty Em's!
Arty Em's is a Breakfast and After School Club being offered to all families who attend Holy Rosary Catholic Voluntary Academy . Arty Em's has been set up to enable parents to go to work and for children to be further enriched and nourished within a caring and familiar setting. We have recently had our very first Ofsted inspection and we are pleased to announced that we received a rating of GOOD!
The Breakfast and After School Club (Arty Em's) is not ran by the School at all, it is ran by Emily Barratt-Meldrum, who is an Ofsted registered Before and After School Club Manager. Emily was previously a Childminder who provided a childcare service for the Holy Rosary school community. Emily employees Trained Staff who work within Holy Rosary Catholic Voluntary Academy, this has proved to help children transition through year groups and this enables children who have just joined the school or Arty Em's to settle in quickly.
If you have any enquiries regarding the Club send them directly to [email protected] and NOT to the school .
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club is open from 7.30am please contact Emily if you require an earlier start.
8.00am until 9.00am with breakfast - £4.50 set rate
After School Club - Two separate rates for the club:
Open from 3.30pm until 5.30pm
*Without a contract - £5.00 per hour per child if you need flexibility and you do not have set days you require care for.
You will be required to complete a Child Record Form, Permission Form and a Privacy Policy, which can be downloaded from this site and advise Emily which session(s) you require, giving as much notice as feasibly possible to ensure staff ratio's are maintained. Payments for the 'without a contract' option will be required before the session or when you collect your child. Failure to do this will result in payments being requested up front in order to secure your child's space for future sessions..
With a contract - £4.00 per hour per child
You will need to fill in a contract, which can be downloaded from this site, to secure your child's space within the Club. Fees are to be paid in advance on a monthly basis for the contracted sessions you have booked. If your child is absent on a contracted day, during term time, full fees are still required for the contracted day.
Late Collection and Late Payment Fees
At the discretion of the Club Supervisor, a late collection charge of £5.50 per 15 minute, per child you are late will be applied to the following months invoice.
At the discretion of the Club Supervisor, a late payment charge of £10.00 per day per child will be applied to the following months invoice.
Childcare Vouchers
Arty Em's accepts payments via Childcare vouchers, I am currently registered with the following companies:
Busy Bees
Care4
Computer Share
Edenred
Kiddi Vouchers
Sodexo
RG Childcare
Fidelity
We are also registered with the Government Tax Free Childcare Scheme.
If your company uses a different voucher scheme please discuss this with Emily so Arty Em's can register to accept payments from your preferred Childcare Voucher Company, this however may take a couple of weeks to set up therefore you are still responsible to pay for your fees until Arty Em's can accept vouchers from this Voucher Company.
Sickness or absent
COVID - 19 - If your child or a member of your household are displaying symptoms of coronavirus please follow the latest Government guidelines and DO NOT send them to Arty Em's until they have received a negative PCR Covid-19 test or until they have satisfied the necessary self isolation period. Thank you for your understanding during this testing time. WE ARE IN IT TOGETHER!
In the event your child is unable to attend the Breakfast or After School Club's due to illness or other commitments on a contracted day, the full fee will still apply. Full fees will also be charged on inset days/teacher training days, polling days and Bank Holidays if these days fall on your normal contracted days during term time.
