We have a range of childcare options to help busy parents manage their family’s schedules both before and after school as well as extensive after school clubs.
Nursery and Pre-Prep
Breakfast Club: 7.45-8.15 am
A very warm welcome and a big smile will greet your child at the Dining Hall. A Pre-Prep Teaching Assistant will be on hand to support them with a healthy breakfast before accompanying them back to Pre-Prep at 8.10am, ready for school at 8.15am. Your child will be taken by the hand to their classroom to join his or her teacher and the rest of the class.
Breakfast Club costs £4.00 and is added to the school bill. Sign up via the Pre-Prep office on 01243 778496.
The Westies Club, after-school care: 3.15 – 5.30pm
Children are entertained by Westbourne’s Childcare Supervisor, Emma Eckert, who will collect your child from their classroom at the end of their day and lead them to the Frog Room to receive a healthy snack. Refuelled, there are a range of structured activities on offer for the children to enjoy, which include music and movement, art, construction, baking and a whole host of role-play and games. Children will be given a light supper at 4.45pm.
Sign up online at the beginning of term or get in touch with Katy in the Pre-Prep office. The cost is £8.50 per hour.
If you are collecting children from the Pre-Prep and the Prep School, please collect Nursery and Pre-Prep children first. There will be additional charges for late collection.

Prep School pupils can join our boarders for a hearty and healthy breakfast at 7.45am and be supervised until joining their classes for registration. The cost for this session is £4.00. Please contact the Prep School office for further information.
