' PICKLES PLUS' - After school club

September 2021 : Pickles Plus has restarted but we now have a waiting llst & will alternate  with Generations.

Since lockdown March 2020 we have not been able to hold many of our usual sessions. 

However, our Pickles Village team have been very busy & since last March we have done 5 deliveries of craft items to cheer up our elderly guests from around the island who attend our community groups & affected with the isolation & loneliness.

                                 Please see our NEWS folder to see how active we have been during this pandemic.

September 2020: We are now opening registration for Pickles Plus. Due to the fact that children will not be allowed to share any craft resources (as they are from different school bubbles) preparing for P+ has become very labour intensive and therefore we will only be meeting indoors once a month. We will also arrange a stomp around the woods/beach/park once a month meaning that we still have the opportunity to meet up every other Friday afternoon.Spaces are extremely limited for the indoor sessions so please only register if you can commit to attending all of them on 25th September, 23rd October, 20th November and 11th December.
In order to keep everyone safe parents will be asked to supervise their children and help them to social distance and to take turns using certain resources (for example we will only be able to have 4 doing Lego and 2 doing sensory play at one time) and therefore the sessions may not feel as ‘free’ (or relaxing for parents) as they have done in the past. There will also be fewer toys available for younger children (although of course some will be provided). This is just the way in has to be in order for us to open safely at the moment!
Due to the need to deep clean afterwards sessions will be ten minutes shorter running from 3.10ish until 4.30.
Please bare all of this in mind before you decide whether you and your family want to register. We are aware that we will probably not have enough space for everyone, so our apologies if you are disappointed.
If you do decide you would like to register please email Kirsty o giving her the full names of all who would like to attend (including babes in arms) and contact details for the adult attending. We look forward to hearing from you. Amy and Kirsty x
