Hi all,


Our son is starting at reception at Goose Green on Tuesday for the settling in week and will be going FT the week after would love to hear some opinions on the after school club Goose green offers, has your child been? Does he/she enjoy it, are you satisfied with them? Is the food any good...ETC...


Many Thanks

My son has been going to GG after school club since reception and is now in year 3. My younger son is also joining reception in sept and is due to start ASC then.


My eldest has always really enjoyed the club as lots of his friends go and he also gets to know kids from other years. When he started I was very impressed how children in the older years looked out for the reception children. They also do lots of craft, sports and art activities and get healthy snacks and even a meal if they want it.


However it's usually oversubscribed so if you want your child to go there you'll probably need to have applied (via the website) by now.

My children have been going to the ASC for several years. They make use of the playground and halls when they can and go on trips (park, library, adventure playground). My children are big eaters and they rarely need anything more to eat that they have had at the ASC. We have had some very impressive art/craft creations come back home. Also echo Dawn's comments re the mixing of years - the older ones really do look out for and play with the younger children who themselves then feel pretty chuffed that they have friends in others years.


We also use the breakfast club where they get a hot meal and squeeze in activities and exercise before school.


It's very reasonably priced and the hours make working acheivable (from 7.30 - 9 for BC and 3.30 - 6.30 ASC)

Welcome to the school - he's going to love reception, those teachers and that playground is awesome)

Can't really add much more than Dawn and mrslotte have said other than my son is quite a clingy child but after just 2 days of attending breakfast and after school club he had completely settled and often on occasion would ask if I could 'come back later' to pick him up.

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
