Our History
The Kingfisher Kids Club opened in 2004. In 2006 it was
re-registered when I Sally Lee became the new owner. I have had over 20
years experience in childcare settings and can see the potential that
the Club can provide to the community.
The location of the premises is on Southrise which is off Buxton Road
and the club is positioned directly opposite Skeyton View and is
attached by land to Millfield School. A Map is attached here.

We provide care to children in between the ages of 4 and 12 years.
We provide a breakfast, after school and holiday club. We currently
work in partnership with Millfield School and Millfield Preschool and
provide a wraparound care (from September – December for under who
cannot attend school until January due to their age).
The children attending mainly come from Millfield Primary School but
children from other schools are welcome and some travel up to 10 miles
to attend. I.e. Mundesley School, Southrepps and Banningham and Colby
School.
We operate the club within the registration and inspection procedures
set out by Ofsted; all staff is trained to a minimum level 2 and are
working towards level 3 or degree level. Child/staff ratios are always
followed and often we are over staffed for added satisfaction.
The Organisation
All staff employed come from a variety of childcare backgrounds;
these include play workers, childminders, activity play centres,
Montessori nursery, Pre-school assistants, crèche assistants and crèche
supervisors, holiday play schemes, classroom assistant and NCH Society.
All have completed a 12 hour First Aid Course; have experience in Child
protection Training and Behaviour management training. All staff is
continuing with the Professional Development through further training.

What Activities Do We Provide
The children who come to our club are the first consideration when
planning all our play opportunities and they are regularly consulted
regarding their views and ideas. A weekly programme of activities is
displayed on the notice board and we endeavour to make this as varied as
possible. Such activities include Art & Craft, modelling, baking,
games, quizzes, themes, festivals, ball games, outdoor play (weather
permitting), stories, books, TV and video. All activities are planned to
be appropriate to the different ages and stages of development of the
children, we take children in to the Kingfisher Kids Club from age 4 -12
years. A drink and healthy snack is provided during each session and we
feel snack time provides an opportunity for developing social skills,
sharing and encouraging communication.

Under the admissions policy all full time children will be given
priority, followed by those requiring a part-time place. In the event of
a waiting list the same rules apply. Ad hoc places are available when
space permits.
Partnership between Parents and Staff
Developing partnerships with parents and carers is essential to the
quality and development of the service. Kingfisher Kids Club staff will
provide as much information as possible about the services we provide.
