PARENTS in Hartlepool have been reminded of a Council-run after school and holiday club to help them manage the pressures of bringing up their children.

Oscars, recently rated outstanding by Ofsted, is based at West Hartlepool Rugby Club on Catcote Road and provides a service for children aged three to 16 years.

The after-school service operates on weekdays, which involves children being collected from school and transported to the Catcote Road centre where parents then have until 6pm to collect their children.

During school holidays, parents are able drop off their children from 8.00am with breakfast provided for them on arrival.

Anyone further information can email sandra.robinson@hartlepool.gov.uk or calling 07771-936968.
