Yes, we do plan activities. Activities range from group games to art and craft. However, as we are a play-based setting and guided by the Playwork Principles, children do not have participate in the adult-led activities. Our Playworkers are guided by the children. Play is child-led.

OSCAHS is a place where children are in control… within reason, of course! Our aim is for children to relax and have fun playing games or taking part in activities. Children can choose to do their homework. However, our Playworkers are unable to assist in helping children to do their homework.

Collectors must bring suitable identification (I.D) with them so we can verify the identity of the person(s) collecting the child.

We strongly recommend parents inform the Club in advance if an unfamiliar collector is due to pick up their child. This will help with the collections process.

Children will not be released to individuals who are not named on the collectors list and/or do not have appropriate I.D.
