What Families Say About Us

Choosing the right afterschool club is a big decision, and nothing speaks louder than the experiences of the families who know us best.

Our testimonials reflect the happy children, reassured parents, and supportive community that make After the Bell such a special place to be.

From the moment the school day ends, we focus on creating a safe, welcoming and fun environment where children can relax, play, learn and grow. Parents regularly tell us how much they value our caring team, engaging activities, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their child is happy and well looked after.

We’re incredibly proud of the relationships we build with children and families, and we’re grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share their experience. Here’s what our families have to say about life at After the Bell.

Testimonials

"A warm, Supportive Space"

"My child absolutely loves After the Bell. There's a mix of boys and girls and so many fun activities like LEGO, artwork, games, and dancing. It's a warm, supportive space. She has really bonded with the staff, has grown in confidence, and is even eating all her food!"

"Grateful"

"I highly recommend After The Bell. My daughter absolutely loves going there after school. They have such a fun and supportive team. We are so grateful that she gets to spend time in such a lovely environment."

"ATB has created a feeling of local community and happiness"

"When I collect my children from ATB, I feel I am collecting them from Paula's house and they are at a playdate there and they don't want to come home! I think the key ingredient here is an interest and understanding in how children think, children love choice. Whilst the day is structured and lots of fun activities such as Art, Lego Club etc are available, the children can choose what they would like to do, just like they would at home. The environment is also very inclusive and caring towards individual needs and personalities after a busy day at school. A huge bonus for us with a son and daughter in ATB is that the boys and girls from the local schools get to mix and make lots of new friends in the area. At a time where 'playing out on the road' has become less frequent, ATB has created a feeling of local community and happiness for both our children. Enthusiastic and kind staff help everything run smoothly in this home away from home. Thank you Paula!"

"A home from home"

"After the Bell has been a godsend for us, since we started there in January 2025. Matilda was in the original batch of students to start at ATB and she has loved it ever since. We feel very lucky that Matilda is so well looked after by Paula, Alba, Bianca and Team and having somewhere that is a dedicated after school facility is really refreshing as this does not commonly exist. ATB is a home from home, that offers the right balance of home work and play time"
