Many parents work full-time and need somewhere for their children to go after school. If you run a kids club and need help with storage, our Enfield storage will help.
Having access to after-school clubs is hugely beneficial for parents as it allows them to know that their children are being taken care of whilst they are still at work. The clubs bring them peace of mind that they know where their child is and that they are engaging in learning or fun activities.
After-school clubs are also hugely beneficial for children.
Why are after-school clubs beneficial for children?
From science clubs to creative classes to having breakfast and after-school covered, there is a club within the Enfield area that will be perfect for your child/children. And each will offer benefits to your child.
Helps academic performance
Studies have shown that children who attend after-school clubs have an increased academic performance. Many after-school clubs offer learning activities which cover the core subjects of Maths, English and Science. Some also offer learning opportunities that the children are not yet studying such as languages.
Help with the development of social skills
Attending after-school clubs allows children to interact with new people, helping them to develop their people skills, communication skills, social skills and emotional intelligence.
Research has shown that after-school clubs and extracurricular activities play a positive role in children’s lives. It has also shown that the ability to attend these types of clubs can often depend on what is available within your area and the socio-economic background of the children and their families.
Support for low income families
There is a huge discrepancy in the number of children from lower income families and the number of children from wealthier families taking part in after-school clubs and activities. Children from wealthier families are 3 times more likely to attend these types of clubs.
It is extremely important that there are clubs and activities which are accessible and affordable to allow all children, no matter their background, to attend. There is a call for more schools to offer after-school clubs for free.
It is also possible for parents to get help with the fees, particularly if they are experiencing special circumstances such as receiving Universal Credit. Parents who receive Universal Credit can get up to 85% of the after-school club fees back.
Running an after-school club
When you decide to open an after-school club, knowing all the benefits that you can bring to families in the local area, there are a lot of things that you must first get into place.
You need to decide on your business structure, look into funding, find suitable premises, apply for Ofsted registration and find staff and equipment. There is a lot of work to do before you can open, but it will be worth it when you are changing a young child’s life for the better.
Once you are up and running, if you find yourself lacking in storage for all your equipment, our Enfield storage will help.
