At Sprint, we are dedicated to establishing a “culture of safety” to protect the children in our care from abuse and harm. We strive to provide children with a secure and happy environment. To achieve this, all of our staff undergo regular training in child protection and safeguarding to ensure that the needs of every child are always prioritised.

Breakfast Clubs
A positive start to the day can have a real influence on a childs learning.
Designed to engage both the mind and body, our sessions of sport, games, and challenges are the perfect way to start the day. But our before school clubs aren’t just fun and games – they also have a positive impact on attendance, punctuality, and overall behaviour. Our partner schools have reported great results, and we’re proud to be making a real difference in the lives of children across the Midlands.
And as a parent, you’ll love the cost-effective and flexible early morning childcare solution our clubs provide. They’re a great alternative to traditional childcare, better for both your child and your pocket. So why not give our before school clubs a try and start your child’s day off right?
After School Clubs
We understand the importance of providing cost effective afternoon childcare with a purpose. Our after school clubs are a great way to meet your childcare needs, while also giving children new opportunities to get active and participate in more physical activity.
Our after school clubs offer the perfect solution for parents who require exceptional childcare that fits around their work schedule. With our flexible scheduling options, parents can rest easy knowing that their little ones are having a great time and learning valuable skills. We understand that every child is unique, which is why we provide a wide range of sports and outdoor activities to cater to different interests and abilities. Our expert-led programs are carefully designed to complement your child’s current schedule and provide a fun and engaging experience that promotes learning and personal growth.
As specialists in after school clubs, we offer both core and bespoke activities to ensure that every child remains engaged and motivated. Our clubs also incorporate sports challenges that promote physical fitness and mental agility, helping pupils to develop important life skills that will benefit them in the long term.
At our partner schools, we are committed to providing the highest quality after school clubs that promote a love of learning and a healthy lifestyle. Join us today and give your child the gift of exceptional childcare and valuable life experiences.
Wrap Around
At our before and after school clubs, we prioritize a healthy and active lifestyle for children, encouraging them to develop a love for physical activity from an early age. With our years of experience, we provide parents with a trustworthy, cost-effective, and convenient childcare solution that serves a greater purpose.
Although wrap around care provisions occur outside of the school day, we believe that social and physical development are key to high-quality childcare services. We provide a safe and secure environment for children to develop their understanding of physical activity and healthy wellbeing, which ultimately builds stronger self-esteem.
We believe that wrap around care in schools should act as a continuum of the care and support they receive in the classroom, which means that we promote inclusivity and positive behaviour of the children within our care. Through active play and exercise, your children will also be better equipped to focus in the classroom.
