St Martin’s Primary School and Nursery

FISH Cranbrook, based at St Martin’s School and Nursery is our first holiday club to accept children from 3 years, the holiday club first opened it doors during the may half term 2013 and we had a brilliant time.
St Martin’s C of E Primary School is the first primary school to be built in the new eco-town of Cranbrook and we are very excited to play an important part in forming the social infra-structure of the town as it grows. Our breakfast & after school club opened in September 2012 with the children who used to attend Clyst Honiton C of E Primary School, together with the first children who have moved to the town of Cranbrook. We are very much looking forward to growing with the school and town and helping parents by providing quality, affordable childcare.

The after school club is located in the dance studio, we have daily to the use of the large grounds that including the schools very own woods and pond, sports hall, play ground, gym hall, playground area, nature area, computer suite and school field. We also have use of a purpose built kitchen area where children can help make homemade soups, savoury muffins for the afternoon snack. We also intend to have our own chicken coop!!.
Every school holiday we have exclusive use of the excellent facilities at the school including a large school hall, after school club room, classrooms, playground areas, forest, nature areas and expansive and secure outdoor field areas.

Can my sibling, or my children be in the same group

We understand that children like to come to a holiday club with their friends or sibling. Normally children are grouped based on their ages, as some of our activities have age & height restrictions we can therefore not guarantee that your child will be in the same group as their friends.

My child doesn’t know anyone, will they be ok?

Every child is different, some have loads of confidence and others need a little know support to get them settled. You know you child better than any of us so please feel free to speak to the club manager if you have any worries about your child. Our team will buddy children together with a regular fish child when they come for their first sessions and often our regular children love showing new children where everything is. Our team are on hand to get your child settled into the club, and we often have welcome games and activities during the morning registration

If you want to check in our your child please feel free to contact the club mobile.
