Breakfast Club at Harold Court opened its doors in September 2011. Since then it has grown in popularity with our parents/carers. So much so that booking is the only way to guarantee a place so that adequate staff ratios are in place. Children are able to arrive at 7.30 am for a healthy breakfast, an activity and a chance to socialise before the school day formally begins.

From December 2013 we have opened up our very own after school Club also... again this service is proving very popular with parents/carers.

Menu

Staff do no follow a specific plan of what will be on offer day to day, as meals are prepared based on daily numbers.  This flexible approach to meal planning ensures that food waste is minimised.  Staff may also vary the daily meal offered depending on whether they are taking the children outside to enjoy the outside areas of the school; meaning quicker food is served so the children can get maximum time outside.

A variety of foods are served during the week of ASC including:

Hot dogs
Waffles
Bagels with butter jam or honey
Bagels with cold meats or cheese
Wraps with cold meats or cheese
Pasta with cheese
Pasta with tomato + basil sauce

In the winter we will serve more hot food variety’s including:

Fish fingers with beans or spaghetti hoops
Toast with beans or spaghetti hoops
Potato waffles with beans or spaghetti hoops
