"Something that makes me smile at after school club is my friends there. My favourite thing to do at after school club is drawing. I love drawing at after school club because it makes me happy!"

Young people at our Dussindale After School and Breakfast Club have been talking about things that make them happy.

What makes you happy?

📣 Location announcement 📣
- Please drop off at the hall/side gate for ALL breakfast clubs

- Please collect from preschool on MONDAYS

- Please collect from the hall TUESDAY - FRIDAY

(On Wednesday if collecting BEFORE 4:15 collect from PRESCHOOL as we will be moving into the HALL once bedtime stories club has finished)

Any questions please ring or text and I can clarify on the day/session.

This gives the children more opportunity to have more toys out and a larger place to play outside both of these suit all ages better.

Thanks
Sophie.
