M.O.O.S.E. Kids' Club
M.O.O.S.E., Milford’s Out of School Care Club, has been running since September 2009.
It is an inclusive organisation, Co-ordinated by Ms. Grinnell, the Deputy Head Teacher
at Milford Primary and led by Level 3 qualified staff who are C.R.B. checked. The club
is monitored by the Local Authority and follows OFSTED guidelines and standards.
If you are a working parent or a parent going back to college, then we may be able to
offer affordable childcare that suits your needs. We are also able to negotiate emergency
and respite care for parents who need it. Please contact Ms. Grinnell on 0115 9152951 if
you need emergency care for your child, if you are a new applicant or currently have your
child in attendance at M.O.O.S.E. or if you wish to change your agreed arrangements. M.O.O.S.E.
staff can be contacted out of hours on our mobile phone no: 07500433013.
M.O.O.S.E. is a community project and our services are on offer to other schools in the locality.
We currently take a number of children from Blessed Robert School who are collected at the end
of the school day by a member of staff from the M.O.O.S.E. Club.
Children at Milford are collected from their class after the school day and taken to the Club
to participate in a variety of carefully planned activities. Children who are attending the
club at the moment are being consulted about the types of activities that they would like to
do and where possible, their ideas are included in our plans. Cooking, constructive and outdoor
play, art work or board games are just some of the activities on offer.
The ethos of the club is based around a nurturing family unit. The children sit down together,
like a family and eat an evening meal which has been prepared using fresh ingredients. The children
then share in clearing away the dishes after they have eaten. The menu offered to the children is
reviewed every two weeks.
The cost of each session is £6 (to be paid in advance) and because of the growing popularity
of the club, we are asking parents to specify which day/s they would like their child/ren
to attend and we will hold that day open for them. If you are unable to attend on the specified
day, unfortunately a charge will incur. We also charge a late fee of £5 for every 5 minutes
parents/carers are late collecting their children after M.O.O.S.E. The session begins at 3.15 p.m.
and ends at 5:45 p.m.
The school has purchased a unit to house M.O.O.S.E. Club in and over the holidays, work will
get underway to supply the unit with water and electricity. This will mean that we will be
able to provide care for our children of working parents during school holidays. Providing
everything goes to plan, we will hope to be in our new environment by the beginning of the
Summer Term.
All of the staff would like to thank all of our families for their continued support and
we look forward to working for you in the future.
