Happy Hive @ Newport – out of school clubs

Author: David Webb

  • Launch update – October 2026

    We are pleased to announce that we are now ready to start enrolling children into the breakfast and after-school clubs that will be launching on Monday 2nd November 2026!

    For the first few months we will be operating Breakfast Clubs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 07:45 and 08:45 and after-school clubs on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 15:10 and 16:45.

    Places will initially be limited to 16 per session on a first-come first-served basis.

    To enrol your child and start booking please visit our registration page. Once a space has been allocated we will provide a welcome pack and payment information.

    We are aiming to operate both clubs fully on Monday to Friday in January 2027, with after-school club running from 15:10 to 17:30.

  • Launch update – September 2026

    We have been working hard throughout the summer holidays to prepare for the opening of our club. We have made some really good progress, although there is still a little more work to do before we are fully up and running.

    We have decided to start small and grow gradually, allowing us to make sure everything is in place and that we provide the best possible experience for the children and families who use our club.

    Initially, starting in November, we will be offering limited daily sessions of under two hours, with either a breakfast club or an after-school club available, depending on parental preference and demand.

    Our aim is to build up the service over the coming months and, hopefully, from January we will be able to offer both breakfast and after-school sessions each day, with spaces for up to 20 children.

    We are really excited about the progress we have made so far and look forward to welcoming our first children and families very soon!

  • Clytha School summer fete

    Clytha School summer fete

    We’d like to say a huge thank you to Clytha Primary School for including us in their 2026 summer fete, it was great to see so many people in attendance and everyone having fun.

    It was also wonderful to meet some parents at our stall and tell them about our services, we’re pleased that so many are interested in the clubs.

    In the next few days we will be sending an update via email to the parents that have registered interest via our online form.

  • Launch update – June 2026

    As you can imagine, launching a business can take quite a lot of time and requires the implementation of processes and procedures, especially one that is centred around child care.

    We are working hard to complete all the required documentation and meet the requirements of the Care Inspectorate Wales and are almost ready to submit our application.

    We are also working closely with St. John Baptist Church to ensure the church hall meets all the required regulations.

    With all of the above in mind, we are now planning to open our doors in October 2026 instead of September.

    Come back soon for more updates!

  • Welcome to Happy Hive @ Newport

    We are excited to announce that Happy Hive @ Newport will soon be launching out-of-school clubs for Clytha Primary school in Newport, South Wales.

    Our aim is simple: to create a safe, welcoming and engaging space where children can relax, play, learn and thrive outside the school day, while giving parents reliable & flexible childcare they can feel confident about.

    In the first phase of our launch, in September 2026, we will be opening breakfast clubs and after school clubs during school term time. The second phase will introduce holiday clubs during the school holidays.

    The clubs will be based at the St. John Baptist Church Hall on Oakfield Road.

    Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey, please check back soon for further updates.
