Special Needs Objective Outreach Project
Based in the Holybrook Centre in Greengates, SNOOP are open Monday-Friday for Before and After School care from 7am-6pm during term-time. For holiday play/care schemes they are open from Monday-Friday between 7am and 6pm. Parents/carers and children can choose the hours to suit their needs and you only pay for the time you play, and NHS employees using SNOOP are entitled to a 10% discount!
The play/care schemes operate every school holiday except for Christmas, New Year and the odd Bank Holiday. SNOOP childcare services are Ofsted registered and meet with all the current legislative requirements and work closely with the family and the professionals involved to ensure that the play and care offered is based on the child's individual needs and interests.
