Activities

At Funny Feet we believe play is essential to each aspect of a child’s development. In our club, children have the opportunity to interact with children of different ages, thereby strengthening their social confidence. Staff provide a child led environment, allowing the children to make choices from the varied activities on offer which are supervised at all times: Team Games, arts and craft sessions and organised outdoor/indoor sports. Staff plan activities ahead of time using the children’s input and by being led by their interests but with the flexibility to adapt when necessary. We also ensure that we incorporate celebrations, events and festivals to develop their understanding of the world.

Children who are new to Funny Feet 

When children first join After School club there is a period of induction. During this period a member of staff will outline the club’s rules and routines. Another child will usually be allocated to act as the new child’s buddy for the first few sessions.  Each child will also be given the opportunity to complete an ‘All About Me’ form which will help the staff get to know your child and cater activities around their likes and dislikes.
