Orchard Day Nursery

The Orchard After School Club

The Orchard After School Club is situated in the Queens Park area of Brighton. It is a collection and care service for children aged 5-10 years between the hours of 3pm and 6pm. We provide a wide range of activities including art and craft, snooker, games computer and Play Station, as well as a quiet area where children can rest at the end of a busy school day. We also visit Queens Park on a regular basis.

Three staff members staff the Club. In the absence of regular staff members, nursery nurses will assist from downstairs.

At present, we collect from St Luke's and Queen's Park School, on foot, so please ensure your child is wearing weather appropriate clothes and shoes and they have not got too much to carry. Many children are dropped off to the Club from other local schools.
