At Fiesta Sports, we understand that modern family life can be busy, fast-paced, and sometimes a juggling act. That’s why our Fiesta Kids+ Wraparound Care is designed to support both parents and children, providing a safe, engaging, and flexible environment before and after the school day.

But wraparound care is about so much more than childcare. It plays an important role in supporting children’s development, wellbeing, and daily routine, while helping families manage their schedules with confidence.

What Is Wraparound Care?

Wraparound care refers to childcare provided outside of standard school hours, typically including before school care and after school care.

It ensures children are cared for in a safe, structured environment while parents work or manage other commitments.

At Fiesta Sports Coaching, our wraparound care combines supervision with enriching activities, helping children stay active, social, and engaged throughout the day.

We work with schools and families across Northamptonshire and nearby areas, supporting local communities with reliable childcare in Corby, Kettering, Market Harborough, and the wider area.

Supporting Families, Every Day

Our wraparound provision is built with families in mind. We know how important it is for parents to have reliable, flexible childcare that fits around work and daily life.
With options to book individual sessions, full weeks, or term-time packages, families can choose what works best for them, without unnecessary stress.

From early morning drop-offs to after-school collections, we’re here to make your routine easier and more manageable. Consistency, flexibility, and trust are at the heart of everything we offer.

What Does A Typical Wraparound Care Session Look Like?

Every session is structured to provide a balance of activity, routine, and relaxation.

Before School

• Calm arrival and registration
• Light physical activity or free play
• Social time with peers
• Smooth transition into the school day

After School

• Safe collection from school
• Snack and downtime
• Structured activities and games
• Creative play or quiet options are available
• End-of-day collection

This structure helps children feel settled, supported, and comfortable in a familiar routine.

A Positive Start To The Day

Our before-school sessions are all about setting children up for success. Whether it’s through light physical activity, social interaction, or quiet time to ease into the day, we create an environment where children feel ready, confident, and prepared for learning. We believe that how a child starts their morning matters and we make sure it starts positively.

Active Afternoons Full Of Opportunity

After a full day at school, children need a balance of energy, creativity, and relaxation. Our after-school sessions offer exactly that.

From sports and team games to arts, crafts, and imaginative play, children have the opportunity to explore, develop new skills, and most importantly, have fun.

Our sessions are led by qualified, enthusiastic staff who bring energy, structure, and care into everything they do. This helps children stay active, build confidence, and enjoy their time beyond the classroom.

Building Confidence, Friendships & Life Skills

Wraparound care plays a key role in a child’s development. It provides a unique environment where children of different ages can interact, learn from one another, and build friendships that extend beyond the classroom.

Through structured activities and positive reinforcement, we help children develop:

• Confidence and independence
• Social skills and teamwork
• Communication and friendships
• Respect and resilience

These are skills that support children not only at school, but in everyday life.

Who Is Wraparound Care For?

Wraparound care is designed for primary school-aged children and families who need support outside of school hours.
It is particularly helpful for:
• Working parents or carers
• Families with busy or changing schedules
• Children who benefit from structured routines
• Children who enjoy social, active environments

It offers reassurance for parents and a positive, engaging experience for children.
