Places at SMILES are offered on a first come first served basis and do get filled up very quickly.

We currently only have a few sessions available on a Monday and Friday afternoon. You can still apply to go on our waiting list if you wish.

Any sessions your child is booked in for are automatically retained each year as they move up year groups, including when they move up to the Junior School.

BREAKFAST CLUB is now open to children from across Infant School and Junior School and is currently held on the Infant site.

Drop off: from 7.45am at the main SMILES door at Telford Infant School. Please use the school pedestrian gate to access the school.

Breakfast: Children enjoy a healthy choice of toast, crumpets, muffins and a variety of fresh fruits.

Children are taken by our playworkers either to their Infant School classroom or directly to the Junior School for the start of the school day at 8.55am.

AFTER SCHOOL CLUB is open to children from across the Telford Infant and Junior Schools. The Infant School children remain on the Infant site while the Junior children make use of the rooms the club rents on the Junior School site.

Infant children are collected from their classrooms and escorted to the hall.

Junior children make their way to the school hall at the end of the school day where they are met by SMILES staff and escorted to the classrooms used by SMILES on the Junior site.

Some of the session is also spent out on the playground (or field in the summer) weather permitting.

Children are provided with a cold, nutritious snack. This varies throughout the week but usually consists of wraps with some type of meat (or vegetarian/vegan equivalent), cheese and a range of fresh fruits and salad. This is purely a snack and is not intended to replace an evening meal at home.

We are a nut free school, and children with allergies, intolerances and lifestyle or religious choices are catered for.
