Turnfurlong Junior School

Before and After School Care

Early Risers

The Early Risers Club runs from 7:45am until 8:30am daily before school and offers pupils the chance to catch up on homework, complete reading quizzes, take part in a craft activity or play games.  A member of staff is always on hand for any queries each morning.  We do not provide food so children will need to have eaten prior to arrival.  

The cost of the club is £3.50 per session.  To book a session:

• Visit Arbor (on the app or website) . 
• Go to accounts
• Click on Early Risers
• Top up your account before booking 
• Then visit Activities>Clubs
• Select Early Risers and book the dates required

Select the days you would like your child to attend and add it to your basket and proceed to checkout.  You will need to top up your account before booking.  We do accept childcare vouchers.

Childcare vouchers

You need to have funds in your Early Risers account.  This can be via card payments or via childcare vouchers which will work in a slightly different way.  Once you have used your vouchers to make a payment to the school, please email the school with a copy of your remittance/copy of the transaction.  Once the funds have cleared into our account, the credit will be added to your child's account balance for you to use.  

After School Care

We have two providers who offer after school care for children from Turnfurlong Junior School

Fireflies

Fireflies runs from 3.15pm to 5.45pm.   We offer a nurturing and safe space where children can enjoy taking part in outdoor play, creative activities, games or relaxing with a book.  We offer various options for parents including the ability to book ad hoc sessions (when available).  Fireflies will be based in the Junior hall or the library.  Children attending Fireflies after 4.30pm, will be provided with a light snack eg sandwich, croissant, cheese, yoghurts, fruit, cereal bars and biscuits. The food provided is intended to keep the children going until their main meal at home with you.  There is a one off registration fee of £30 per child.

If you have a younger sibling who attends Turnfurlong Infant School, you may also register them with Fireflies.  We have a system in place to collect children from the Infant school and bring them to Fireflies.  Please contact the school if you would like to make use of this.
