A SPECIAL guest has launched a school's new £35,000 Out of School Club for after school and holiday childcare.
Leeds United chairman Peter Ridsdale, who is also chairman of Education Leeds, cut the ribbon on the converted former music room at Yeadon South View Junior School.
The project - which will provide 24 childcare places before and after school, plus holiday playschemes - has been funded by the Government's new Opportunities Fund. The club will cater for youngsters aged between four and 11.
The conversion of the music room involved putting in a new ceiling, new toilets, and fitting a breakfast bar, television and video, computer equipment, plus comfortable seating for children and a craft area.
Manager, Della Stocks, said: "The club is fantastic and the children love it.
"We have tried to create a home from home rather than a school environment, and if children simply want to come and relax rather than be creative or stimulated, we will help them to do that."
Any parents wanting further information on the childcare facilities can contact Della Stocks on (0113) 2500066.
