We’re really excited to let you know that Progressive will be launching a brand-new Before & After School Club here at your school this September. Our wraparound care is designed to be a home-from-home for your little ones, packed with engaging activities, healthy snacks, and friendly faces they’ll get to know and love. Whether they’re starting their day with a healthy breakfast or winding down after school in one of our four themed zones — Active, Creative, Discovery, or Wellness — we aim to make every session feel like an adventure.

Who Are We? Progressive has been supporting schools and families for nearly 20 years. We work with hundreds of schools across the country, delivering high-quality childcare that’s safe, active, and enriching. Every session is run by experienced staff who are passionate about helping children feel happy, confident, and cared for. Bookings are now live! You can now reserve your child’s place online by visiting: https://enrolmy.com/progressive-sports-staffordshire/ Good To Know We accept all major childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare schemes. If you're entitled to support with wraparound costs, you can use your funding with us — just let us know during registration and we’ll guide you through it. You’ll find more information in the attached flyer, including session times, prices, a peek at our menu, and some of the exciting activities we’ve got lined up. Mornings, Afternoons, Or Both Wraparound usually comes in two parts: a breakfast club to ease into the morning, and an after-school club to wind down at the end of the day. Some families use one, many use both. Wherever you find our team across the school day, you can expect the same warm welcome and the same friendly faces every time.

A Few Tips If You Are Thinking It Over

  • Start small. One or two sessions a week is plenty to begin with, and you can always add more once your child is comfortable.

• Keep it consistent. The same days each week help your child settle into a rhythm they can rely on. www.progressive-uk.co.uk 01889 343 120 info@progressive-uk.co.uk

  • Talk it up at home. A little excitement about the fun they will have goes a long way with younger ones.

• Tell us about your child. The more we know about routines, likes and dislikes, the quicker they will feel at home.

• Use both ends of the day if it suits you. Breakfast and after-school can take real pressure off busy mornings and evenings. Good To Know We accept all major childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare schemes. If you're entitled to support with wraparound costs, you can use your funding with us — just let us know during registration and we’ll guide you through it.

When you're ready, just visit our website, select your school venue, and you'll be taken through to our booking portal, Enrolmy, where a quick account set up (your little one's details, medical history and any dietary needs) takes around ten minutes, and from there you can book by the day, the week or the term, whatever suits your family best. Bookings are now live! You can now reserve your child’s place online by visiting and selecting your venue: https://enrolmy.com/progressive-sports-staffordshire/ We can’t wait to meet your little one, welcome them into our space and watch them grow in confidence as they make new friends. If you have any questions, feel free to pop into the setting or drop us a message, we’re always here to help. Warmly, The Progressive Team P.S. Once you start, every booking is backed by our Smiles Guarantee. If your first paid month does not feel right, for any reason, we will refund you in full. No questions, no awkward conversations, no small print.
