The Bearsden Club

Hello and welcome to our BPC Karemore Page!

We are based in Baljaffray Parish Church and have up to 60 children a day. We have seven members of staff:

When your child joins our club, they will be allocated a Key Worker who is responsible for your child and for liasing with you regarding your child’s development and needs.

Hall One

This hall is used as a cloak room.  All children are asked to place their belonging in this hall on their arrival at the club.

• lego

Daily Routine

We do have a relaxed routine which we try and stick to!  This can be found in our Parents Handbook.  However, we are aware that the children have been in school today and do not their time at the club to be too “regimented” so, we are very relaxed.

Prize Giving

Every week we have a prize-giving ceremony.  We have 4 awards:

• Best Behaviour
• Best Effort
• Most Helpful
• Most Progress

There will be a winner for both the younger and older children who will be presented with a certificate and the overall highest certificate earner over the term, will be awarded with a prize!

Children’s Committee

Every month, we have our Children’s Committee.  The children are asked to discuss, within their key worker groups, any comments and ideas that they have regarding the club and to suggest any equipment that they wish to be introduced.

Free Day

One day per week, we have a “Free Day” whereby children are able to bring in their own toys.  However, we do state to the children that if they do decide that they would like to bring in their own toys, they must be clearly labelled and the children have full responsibility for looking after their property.

Snack

While your child is at the club, we will provide them with a light snack, these always includes:

• Fruit
• Vegetables
• Water
• Juice

and will also include one of the following:

• Biscuits
• Beans on toast
• Spaghetti on toast
• Ham sandwiches
• Chicken sandwiches
• Etc
