Wraparound Care

Osbaldwick Owls

Providing a safe and stimulating play experience for all children in our care.

Osbaldwick Owls is a small friendly team dedicated to providing a welcoming atmosphere for children both before and after school for your child. We believe that every child is unique; in characteristics, interests, abilities and needs and therefore we aim to offer every child activities that they enjoy.

Based in the hall at Osbaldwick Lane, we plan our sessions around the children, allowing them to follow their own interests and encouraging them to learn through play in a fun, stimulating way. Free from external pressures, staff are able to spend the sessions engaging in play with the children.  There is a walking bus between the 2 sites to ensure no children are excluded from accessing the facility.

Osbaldwick Owls offers an on-site Breakfast and After School Club for its families to extend the school day. Please find details about this wraparound childcare below, as well as information on how to book any sessions you may need.

Opening times and prices
