Gems After School Care activity montage.

At Valence, we offer a range of after-school activities that run from 3 pm-4 pm please see the Clubs page for more information.

We also offer after-school care for those parents who cannot pick their children up from school at 3:00 pm. There are usually spaces available but do enquire if you are interested as attendance can vary.

Gems After School Play Care Scheme

The Gems After School play care scheme runs at Bonham & St. George's straight after each school day (until 6.00 pm) for children from Nursery to year 6. 

We offer a selection of activities and equipment and all staff are suitably qualified and trained to get the best out of the children that attend. Children are provided with a snack upon arrival and various meal options are also available.

For parents, the club provides convenient and affordable childcare. For your child, the club provides a safe, stimulating and fun environment with an emphasis on socialising with their peers as well as time allocated for homework.

Prices

We offer half sessions and full sessions (including a hot meal) at Gems. Each sibling that attends also sees a slight decrease in price (up to 2 siblings). There is also a late collection charge if a child is collected after 6pm.

  • Half session (end of school to 4.30pm): £6.00 (first sibling £5.00, second sibling £4.00)
  • Full session (end of school to 6.00pm): £12.00 (first sibling £10.00, second sibling £8.00)
  • Late Collection charge after 6.00pm: £12.00
