Merry Berries

Hello and welcome to Merry Berries

Merry Berries is our after school tea time club. 

It runs each Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 3.30pm until 5.30pm and is co-funded from charity grants and parental contributions.
We can cater for up to 20 children per session, our staff are members of the Holly Grove staff team and therefore they are aware of the wide range of needs the children have.
Children are allocated key workers and each key group concentrates on life skills to promote independence and being MERRY!

The groups may cover such things as:
•    Cooking: helping our chef to prepare the balanced tea for the group
•    Plant to plate: Planting, caring for and harvesting fruit, vegetables and herbs to eat.
•    Taking photos and videos of the activities and putting them on the website.
•    Setting tables: children set the tables with cutlery, plates, cups etc for the whole group.
•    Etiquette/communication group: Children concentrate on sitting at the table, using their preferred method of communication and eating in a socially acceptable manner.
•    Washing up group: Children wash up/stack the dishwasher, dry up and tidy the kitchen.
•    Children are encouraged generally to tidy up after themselves and to help each other during each session.
•    If there is any time left after tea and clearing up, the children can let off a ‘bit of steam’ before being picked up at 5.30pm.
