About
Ladybirds Afterschool Club has a proud history of providing high-quality, nurturing care for children within the local community. Previously owned and lovingly led by Ian and Kathryn, the club built a strong reputation for its warm atmosphere and commitment to children’s wellbeing. In 2026, Ladybirds entered an exciting new chapter when Jenna and Tara took over the running of the club, continuing its positive legacy while bringing fresh ideas and enthusiasm.
At Ladybirds, our purpose is firmly child-centred. We believe every child is unique and deserves to feel safe, valued, and supported. Our aim is to create a welcoming environment where children can relax after the school day, build friendships, and take part in activities that reflect their interests, abilities, and stages of development.
We are passionate about providing a caring, inclusive setting where children learn through play, creativity, and positive experiences. Our values focus on respect, kindness, fun, and encouraging independence, while always placing children’s happiness and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.
Our experienced and dedicated staff team works closely with families to ensure consistent, high-quality care. We continually reflect on and develop our practice, welcoming feedback from parents and carers to help us grow and improve.
Ladybirds Afterschool Club is more than just childcare—it is a place where children feel at home, supported, and free to be themselves.
Ladybirds Afterschool Club is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children after school. We offer a variety of activities and programs aimed at promoting learning, creativity, and social development. Our team is committed to ensuring that every child feels valued and supported in their afterschool and holiday club experience.
