BROADMEADOW AFTERSCHOOL LIMITED

Broadmeadow Afterschool, based in the Applewood Community Centre, provides a welcoming, safe environment for children beyond the school day. Since opening in September 2021, the centre has run a Sibling Club, Breakfast Club and a full‑time Afterschool programme, operating both during the school term and in holidays.

The service is built around restorative practice, fostering strong, positive relationships between staff and children. A varied programme of child‑ and adult‑led activities is designed to develop each child’s individual skills and meet their unique needs. Under the leadership of Hazel – a childcare professional with over twenty years’ experience and a postgraduate qualification in Early Childhood Care – families can be confident their children receive the highest standard of care.

Broadmeadow Afterschool also collaborates with the National Childcare Service, ensuring that its provision aligns with national standards and supports the wider community of parents and caregivers.
