Early Birds and Night Owls Clubs
​​​About Night Owls
Our Night Owls settings are designed to be fun, engaging, and child-centered, with children encouraged to choose their own activities, supported by our dedicated staff. Staff also set up activities tailored to the children’s interests, creating a dynamic and personalised environment.
​
We’ve created spaces that feel like a home from home, inspired by the Danish concept of Hygge. This philosophy centers' on comfort, emotional well-being, and a sense of togetherness. It’s a setting where children can choose to relax, recharge, or explore with confidence, offering warmth, security, and a strong sense of belonging. Unlike more formal, institutional environments, our spaces are designed to feel like a natural extension of home.​

Activities
At Night Owls, we believe play should never be limited by the weather... we are weather warriors! Every one of our settings has access to outdoor space and we make the most of it. Come rain or shine, the children are encouraged to head outside, explore nature, play games and get active in the fresh air. Indoors, we offer a rich variety of activities that change regularly to reflect the children’s interests. From creative provocations like playdough, painting, slime, and colouring, to quieter choices like board games and puzzles, there’s something for everyone. We also love getting hands-on with seasonal crafts, baking sessions like biscuit making, and other fun group activities that build both skills and friendships.

What will they eat?​
We provide a small snack when children arrive at Night Owls, followed by a light tea and pudding served each evening at 5:00 pm. All dietary requirements are fully accommodated to ensure every child is safely and happily catered for.
​
If you would prefer your child not to have tea, whether due to an early pick up or for any other reason, please let us know in advance by emailing info@earlybirdsandnightowlsclubs.co.uk or calling 01279 771367.
​
We recommend that younger children typically won’t need anything more to eat once they’re home, but older children may require a little extra to keep them going, as our tea is light.
​
All of our meals are freshly prepared by qualified cooks across our settings, using high-quality ingredients and fresh produce. We operate a three-week rotating menu to ensure variety and balance. Menus are displayed in each setting and are also available upon request from our office or through ParentZone.
​
We also kindly ask that you avoid picking up your child between 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm if they are having tea, as this is a time when staff sit with the children to discuss their day and share thoughts. We encourage the children to assist with laying the table, clearing away, and helping with kitchen duties. Staff are always on hand to support and supervise, but this is an important part of our daily rituals and routines.
Late for Pick up?
Night Owls sessions finish at 6.30 pm and we kindly ask that all children are collected by this time.
​
We completely understand that delays can happen, whether due to traffic, work commitments or train disruptions. If you think you may be late, please give us a call as soon as possible. This helps us keep your child informed and reassured while they wait and allows our team to plan accordingly.
​
📞 Please call us on 01279 771367.
If it's after 5.00 pm, please leave a voicemail.
If we are not informed of a delay, this may result in additional charges.
