At Norris Bank Primary School, we provide a Breakfast and After School Club every day during term time. If you would like to register your child for a place, please read all of the information below carefully and then fill out the registration forms.

How do I secure a place?

Any child attending NBPS is eligible for a place at Kids Club. Registration documents must be completed with places being offered at the school’s discretion. We usually require full payment in advance; make any exceptions to this.

How do I pay?

The school currently uses ParentPay for all transactions. Activated ParentPay accounts will enable access to the ‘Clubs’ feature where you can then reserve/plan (for calculation) sessions. These sessions will only be secured when you have deposited sufficient funds into the account. ParentPay provides online tutorials for your support.

Bookings and cancellations are available up to 2pm on the day before the session commences. Funds from in-time cancellations will remain in your account for future transactions/bookings.

If you choose to pay via HMRC or another Child Care Voucher provider, you will need to email evidence of payment 2 days before you are able to plan your sessions online. Once we are in receipt of this it will be uploaded onto your account and you will then be able to confirm your sessions.

Kids Club Rules and Expectations  

We want all children who attend Kids Club to have a positive experience. All children are expected to follow the school rules and ensure they inform a member of the team immediately if there are any problems.

Please note that places may be withdrawn if children do not follow these expectations and their choices affect the experience or safety of others at Kids Club.

Information for new parents – September 2025
