A Home Away from Home at The Den
We know that for working parents, the school day doesn’t always end at 3:00 PM. That’s why The Den Care Club was created—to bridge the gap with a service that children actually want to attend.
Located within Highfield Primary, we specialise in "wrap-around" care that feels less like a classroom and more like a community. Whether your child needs to burn off energy on the playground or curl up in a quiet corner with a book, The Den is their space to be themselves.
Active Play & Exploration
From strategy battles in board games and epic LEGO builds to supervised computer gaming, we offer a perfect mix of logic, luck, and digital fun for every child.
Creative Expression
Our "Creation Station" is always stocked. Whether it’s drawing and painting, junk modeling, or role play with the small world toys, we encourage every child to find their spark.
Nutritious Fuel
No "hangry" walkers here! We provide a balanced, delicious after school snack to keep energy levels up until home time. We cater to all dietary needs and allergies with care.
The Details You Need
"We don't just watch your children; we value them. At The Den, every child is a member of our pack."
