What the Parents Think
Branches Out Of School is dedicated to providing quality child care for your family.
Jacob has been attending Branches since moving to West lane Nursery. I have received so much support and understanding from the girls and throughout the years and could not wish for a better group of people to look after Jacob.
He loves all the staff and even asks to go.

We have used Branches Out of School for our wraparound care since its inception and couldn’t recommend this service enough. The amazing staff are like extended family to us and at times I wonder if my two children would rather be there than home.

Rachel is now 8 years old and has been using a mix of holiday, breakfast & after school club for the last four years.
They have varied activities for all ages and Rachel loves all the staff that work there. I would not dream of sending Rach anywhere else.

Myself and my husband could never have managed to stay in full time work without Branches excellent out of school provision. They have been so flexible in working around shift patterns and last-minute changes, we really would have been stuck without them. All the staff are incredibly caring and go out of their way to get to know the children and their individual “quirks”. We couldn’t have had better wrap round care for our boys and are so grateful for their resilient and thoughtful approach.

Branches have helped me with my Childcare since they first opened, they have looked after my Son who is now in the Comp and now my daughter! We have always had positive experiences with Branches and can’t thank the Team enough for all they do. Thank you Branches!
Parent of Amelia
Age 6
Both of my children attend branches for breakfast and afterschool club and for occasional holiday club days when my husband and I are working.
They both really enjoy it and have fun when they're there. It has helped us out a lot, with me and husband both working. It is a great wrap around childcare service. All the staff are brilliant with the children and provide very high standards of care. I would recommend branches to any parent that requires help with childcare.
Thanks all branches staff!

We love Branches wrap around care and holiday club. All the staff are loving, caring and most importantly professional.
I always feel safe in the knowledge when I drop him off, he is safe, secure, and having the best fun...so much so he doesn't want to come home!
Parent of Eden
Ages 6
I am very impressed by the lovely warm, caring and fun environment at Out Of Branches, where my son Elijah is for breakfast and afterschool club and sometimes through school holidays club. There are so many activities and toys to keep the children occupied, and they are able to choose what to go and do. Despite being there sometimes for 5 full days a week, he never gets bored, and he has made some good friends.
The everyday activities and the quality of care my child receives here has made Elijah more confident in himself. He has been going to Branches for 3 years.
