At The Purple Bell, every day is filled with fun, creativity, opportunities to thrive and of course relax after school. We offer a wide range of exciting activities designed to keep children engaged, active and inspired. Each week, we ask the children about what they wish to do in the service and let them have input in the weeks ahead. We are a strengths-based and emergent School Age Childcare Service, meaning we create and facilitate activities that are child-led and activities that will meet the needs of each child best. We will always aim to promote empowerment, independence and the overall wellbeing of children that are in our care.
