St. Mary's Hampton Primary School Case Study

St. Mary’s Hampton Primary School & KOOSA Kids – KOOSA Kids selected to replace existing wraparound childcare provider.

There are a number of reasons why a school might seek to replace their existing wraparound childcare provider, including improving the quality of service offered, enhancements to the timings and activities provided, seeking to reduce the burden of administration placed on the school office and Senior Leadership Teams and so forth.

When St. Mary’s Hampton Primary School enlisted the help of KOOSA Kids extended childcare services, it was primarily with a view to seek a new provider for their breakfast club and after school club provision and to link with a provider able to offer high quality holiday club childcare all year-round. KOOSA Kids were invited to take part in the tender process, alongside several other providers, and it soon became clear to the Senior Leadership Team and Governing Body that KOOSA Kids were able to meet all the school’s objectives.

Our outstanding Ofsted record and the impressive operating plan presented to the school, detailing our thorough, well thought through development plans, spoke for itself. St. Mary’s Hampton Primary School knew they were partnering with a solid, reliable and high-quality childcare provider who would take care of every aspect of running the provision, whilst providing an important revenue stream to the school.

KOOSA Kids have many years’ experience of taking over the running of existing, either school run or externally run provision, and were able to successfully and seamlessly manage this process for St. Mary’s Hampton. 

Now, nearly a full year into our partnership, the after school, breakfast and brand-new holiday club at St. Mary’s Hampton Primary School are going from strength to strength. Attendance numbers are growing consistently, in line with proposed plans in the tender process, and parents and children attending our clubs are delighted with the services offered. 

One parent wrote to tell us “My children have been thoroughly enjoying the new after school club.  Thank you to all the amazing staff who are looking after them.”, whilst another mentioned her daughter did not want to go home when she collects!

KOOSA Kids not only aim to provide a high-quality service, we aim to become part of the school community.

“We have been working with KOOSA Kids for nearly a year now and are absolutely delighted with the service provided to our families. The sessions are fun and exciting and are well structured and supervised. KOOSA have very robust safeguarding procedures and take a huge interest in the children's welfare, often going the extra mile to make sure children are always happy, safe and well looked after. KOOSA Kids are an incredibly professional outfit with children at the heart of all they do. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
