The children are walked to/dropped off at their local school. The YMCA Out of School club is the only one that accepts children from other schools, as long as their own transport is arranged.

Out of School Clubs (afterschool)

The Out of School Clubs are based at venues around Chelmsford (see the above list) and are open from 3.00pm till 6.00pm. Children are collected from their school, and the YMCA Out of School Club accepts children from other schools with their own transport arrangements.

They meet up with friends and can take part in a wide variety of activities each evening. These include crafts, sport, games, computing, drama, as well as an area for homework and quiet activities.

A healthy snack is provided for the children on their return from school, and a light tea is provided around 4.30pm. A family atmosphere is encouraged to provide the children with a home-from-home situation as much as possible.
