Out of School Care Clubs

Out of School Care Clubs provide safe, nurturing environments where primary-aged children can flourish beyond the classroom. Each day, children are welcomed into a safe, nurturing space filled with laughter and adventure—whether it’s after school or during the holidays. These clubs are more than just a place to stay; they’re a lively community where young people can unwind, enjoy creative play, and form lasting friendships, all while their parents are busy with work, study, or training.

Rooted in the heart of each community, Out of School Care Clubs are guided by dedicated Parent Committees. These clubs maintain the highest standards, proudly registered with the Care Inspectorate and OSCR (the Scottish Charity Regulator), ensuring families can trust their children are in safe hands.

As recognised School Age Childcare services, these clubs open doors to valuable government support. Families can benefit from schemes such as Tax-Free Childcare, and those who are eligible may also access additional help with childcare expenses through Universal Credit—helping to make quality care and magical after-school memories accessible for all.
