Breakfast Club<\/strong>
We are proud of our Breakfast Club provision at Craigentinny and excited to be working in partnership with Ripple to offer extra activities during the club.  For now, with the weather being cold it will be art activities and as the weather improves some outdoor activities in the courtyard space.  Nicky from Ripple will also be talking to the children about what they would like to do.  At the moment, Nicky will be at Breakfast Club Mon-Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reminder that Breakfast Club opens at 8am and the doors close at 8.30am and no need to prebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
