Staff are caring and amazing and look after your child well! I started using the service for the Breakfast & Drop off initially and have also used the holiday playscheme and After School Club since. My children love it here and I can relax knowing they are in good hands! Staff are friendly, nice and approachable! Would definitely recommend to others! Thank you CASP! 😃

I would like to say a big thank you to all of the staff here. My kids are really happy here and they have an amazing time, they always talk about after school club, and they can’t wait to go! All the staff are really helpful and friendly, my son is the youngest child they look after, and they care about him like he is their own. They also do my daughters homework with her, which is brilliant as it means that when we’re at home we can play and have fun (taking a lot of stress off me as a mum). Another huge benefit is that the club is available to look after the children all day during school holidays, meaning I can still work full time! Furthermore, the staff can even drop off and pick up the kids to and from school during term time. It’s such a great service for the price you pay, and I am so grateful for everything they do for me and my family and can’t thank them enough. Julia and Wiktor's mum ;*
