Jump-Start

Harefield Primary school would like to introduce a new option for working families – Early Drop Off.

This will start at 8.15am and run till 8.45 and will cost £2 per day.

Children who arrive at 8.15am for jump-start will not be offered any breakfast but will be able to participate in an activity to create a calmer start to their day.

Activities will be set out on a monthly timetable that we will share with parents and will include:

• Dance-along videos
• Wake-up stretches
• Obstacle courses (if space allows)
• Beanbag challenges
• Active dice games
• "Walk and Talk" circuits around the playground

These can be done either inside or outside and will depend on the weather.

Booking and Availability

Space is limited to 20 children per day.

Booking your child’s place is simple:

• If you want to set days each week, please complete a permanent place agreement for your child. Attached below or available from the school office. On receipt of the form, the school will set up the permanent booking on MCAS.  By signing the agreement, you are agreeing to make regular payments via MCAS. If this is not maintained, your child’s place may be withdrawn.  The school requires 24hours notice to amend a permanent place to avoid the parent being charged.
• If you want to use Jump-start on an ad hoc basis, simply email your preferred days to info@hpslive.net who will confirm space availability. You are required to book your child’s place 24hours before it is required.
• If you need to book at short notice, please contact the school office, who will advise you of availability that day.

All bookings should be made or cancelled giving a minimum of 24 hours’ notice.

Cost

• 8.15-8.45am - £2 per day

All payments are made through the MCAS app. Accounts must always be kept in credit and balances settled weekly. Unfortunately, we will be unable to book a space in Jump-start if you have a negative balance. If you are paying with childcare vouchers, this needs to be arranged with the office team in advance.
