Morning & After School Care

As a school, we understand the need for wrap-around care. We are open every week-day from 7.30am until 6.00pm.

South Lee Prep School & Nursery provides exceptional wrap-around childcare services during term time, operating daily from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. To facilitate extended school bookings, we utilize the Engage portal.

​

We believe this system offers great convenience, empowering you to oversee and manage your own reservations for the Breakfast Club and After School Club. It's important to note, however, that bookings must be made at least 24 hours prior to the start of each session. Consequently, last-minute online bookings will not be possible. If you require a late booking, please reach out to the school office, where our staff can advise you on the availability of slots. If a session is already fully booked, it will no longer be visible on the Engage portal.

For your own convenience and to ensure a smooth experience, please refrain from attending a session unless you have received confirmation of your booking.

​

Comprehensive details regarding the booking process, cancellations, and pricing can be accessed in our Extended Schools Policy, which is available on our policies page.
