Introduction
Welcome to Timeout Afterschool and Breakfast Club. Our club is an Ofsted Registered Charity and open to all children who attend Manland school. We are a place where your child(ren) can play, create, learn, socialise and most importantly, eat, drink and laugh.
Our club is managed by qualified staff, some fantastic local student helpers and a trust of parents whose children attend Manland school.
