Introduction

At Totley Primary School we recognise there is a need in the area to provide more wraparound care to our pupils and their parents. We are proud to be able to offer a breakfast club (7.15 – 8.50am) and an after school club (3.10 – 6.00pm), in purposely designed premises called The Nook, in addition to the after school activities that the school already provides. The Nook is available to pupils attending Totley Primary School and children of Mercia Learning Trust employees. These wraparound services are available for children aged 4-11.  

 Aim  

To provide a welcoming, safe, secure and homely environment for pupils before the beginning of the school day and after the school day ends until 6pm. 

To provide outstanding wraparound care at an affordable price for parents. 

To further children’s learning in a stimulating and homely environment.
