Carleton Out of School Club

Our club is based in Carleton Primary School, within the Woodside area of Glenrothes. The school opened in 1953 and is probably the oldest primary school in Glenrothes. The school itself offers spacious outdoor play spaces including both concrete and grass play areas bordered with trees and a trim trail.

Our club opened its doors in 2003 for families in the local Woodside and Coaltown of Balgonie areas of Glenrothes.

We are fortunate to have sole access to room 10 within the school for our service. Our service is situated on the ground floor of Carleton school with disabled access, along with access to large spacious outdoor play spaces allowing us to promote free flow play indoors and out.

We provide a taxi pickup from Coaltown of Balgonie Primary school (term time only) whereby parents or careers would collect their child at the end of the day.

Our club offers parents/careers a flexible childcare service before and after school (term time) and full day cover during school holidays and in-service days.

We strive on free play opportunities for children allowing them to learn new skills whiles they play in a safe secure setting. With staff who will encourage, support and nurture children to meet their own individual goal.

Our Vision: 

Provide a play environment for children that gives choice, challenge, and risk to stretch their own development while respecting others right to play.

Support play by offering resources and activities that allow children to develop their own play.

Provide opportunities for children to play together developing their social skills along with awareness of how to risk assess their own play.

Develop outdoor play within the environment, along with taking play into the local community.

Consult with parents and carers to identify the needs of their child(ren).

Work to make links with other organisations and agencies to expand experiences for the children attending.
