Join our Rise then Shine morning programmes

Our Before School programmes are called ‘Rise Then Shine’, the perfect start to your child’s school day. We set the tone for a great day at school through an array of energising activities and some delicious and nutritious food. From delightful breakfast moments, to calming morning meditations, we ensure they step into school ready to embrace the day!

A healthy, nutritious breakfast keeps children energised throughout the morning, while our focus on an active start stimulates brain activity and concentration so children get the most out of their day.

It’s the perfect solution for busy working families, offering a safe, secure environment before school where children enjoy a fun and positive start to the day.
