Any child with a special diet is advised to bring a suitable snack with them. If your child is a hungry child please provide an extra snack for when they get to OSH Club from school.
We don't allow popcorn/crisps/chocolate/jellies etc as snacks in the club.
Please note we are not a homework club, and while children will be given quiet time to do their homework, other activities will still be ongoing for the other children. We can give some guidance and help to children but are not able to work with a child on a one to one basis as we have other children to care for.
Sign out and late collection fee
Children can only be collected by a person named on the registration form.
They will need to be signed out of the service by that person when they are collected.
We will have a fee for late collections, €15 p/h or part of the hour.
