Broughton After School Club
Edinburgh
Supporting children’s development in a flexible and safe environment.
We provide an out-of-school service for the children of Broughton Primary School in Edinburgh.
You can be assured that your child is being cared for by dedicated staff, who acknowledge your child’s success and build their self-esteem by praising ideas and achievements.
Our busy and thriving after school club promotes healthy play in the outdoors. All Covid-19 procedures are being followed in line with stipulations detailed by the Scottish Government.
We Like Variety
“At the club I have learned how to do magic, football, baking, card games and how to use manners “
We Like New Friends
“I have made lots of new friends that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t come here”
We Like Playing Outside
“We go outside a lot and I like to play football and a game called steal the bacon”
Meet The Team
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

I am a certified primary teacher, with more than 15 years of experience in primary schools and various childcare settings, my focus has always been on nurturing children's social and emotional development while helping them unlock their full potential. Working alongside my team, our mission is to cultivate a diverse, stimulating, relaxing, and enjoyable learning environment. Our goal is straightforward: to encourage children to embrace challenges, build their confidence, and find fulfilment in their lifelong learning journey.
Nina
Play Worker
“Play is the work of the children” (M. Montessori), and I feel privileged to be part of all the discoveries and the inner worlds that unfold whilst playing and being creative with materials. Having obtained a BA(Hons) and a MA in Psychology, I have loved working with children for the past 5 years. I strive to support children in reaching their potential through the medium of play.
Kathryn
Play Worker
I have an HNC in both childhood practice and fitness health exercise. I look forward to using all the skills I have learned in both these courses to bring some exciting activities to the club! I am also a championship highland dancer and I am excited to share my love of dance with the children through fun, skilled, fitness activities.
Paula
Play Worker
I originate from Spain and have experience with young people and children and have completed a Degree in Social Education and have worked with all ages of children. I believe in a child centred approach to childcare and this is why I wanted to work here
Neville
Sports Play Worker
I hold both a higher national diploma in sport coaching and development and a bachelor's degree in sport and exercise science. I enjoy seeing children's abilities develop, whether through sports or the soft skills they get from participating. I'm excited to help everyone improve, keep active, and develop an interest in a variety of sports.
