After School Club Costs in the UK
After school clubs provide essential childcare for working parents, offering a safe and engaging environment for children between school finish time and parent pickup. Costs vary significantly based on location, facilities, and services provided.
💷 Average Costs
UK after school club costs typically range from £5-£8 per hour, with daily rates between £15-£30. London and South East rates are generally 20-30% higher than national averages. Weekly costs for 3-5 days range from £60-£150.
📅 Holiday Cover
Most after school clubs don’t operate during school holidays (approximately 13 weeks per year). Holiday clubs typically cost more, ranging from £25-£45 per full day. Annual holiday care can add £1,500-£3,000 to yearly costs.
🎁 Government Support
The UK Tax-Free Childcare scheme can help cover costs. For every £8 you pay in, the government adds £2, up to £2,000 per child per year (or £4,000 for disabled children). Working parents earning at least minimum wage for 16 hours/week are eligible.
👨👩👧👦 Sibling Discounts
Many after school clubs offer sibling discounts of 10-20% for second and subsequent children. Some clubs also offer discounts for term-time or annual upfront payments, typically 5-10% off the standard rate.
