Enrolling your nursery child in our After-School Club (ASC) from 3pm to 6pm can offer numerous benefits, both for your child’s development and your peace of mind. During this time, our Nursery and Pre-Prep boys and girls engage in a range of enriching activities that complement their learning, from creative arts to outdoor play and group games, which can help develop their social skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. The extended hours also provide a smooth transition between the school day and home, ensuring that children are not rushed and can unwind in a structured, supportive environment. Additionally, for parents, the ASC at Cargilfield offers a convenient solution for managing work schedules, knowing your child is in a safe, supervised setting, where he/she can bond with peers and build confidence.
During your child’s time in the ASC, we offer a blend of free play and a variety of engaging, structured activities, including arts and crafts, Lego building, jigsaw puzzles, and board games. Children actively participate in planning themes and activities, helping to build creative and decision-making skills. We prioritise outdoor play and games whenever possible.
For children staying past 5:00 pm, a nutritious supper is served in the School’s main dining room.
ASC is for Nursery children from 3pm-6pm (5.30pm on Friday) and for children from P1-P3 after activities from 4pm-6pm (5.30pm on Friday). Should you require a one-off booking for P1-P3 children we will endeavour to fit them into an activity between 3-4pm. If this is not possible they will go directly to ASC with the Nursery, from 3pm.
Our After School Club (ASC) is situated in the Pre-Prep building. We have 14 Nursery places and 28 P1, P2 and P3 places available.
To ensure the smooth running of the After School Club we have an online booking system in place to allow us to fairly meet the needs of all our parents.
