Picnics after school club provides a vital service for parents of pupils at Moulton Primary, offering before and after school childcare along with a holiday club during the school holidays. The club currently supports c.100 pupils from Early years up to year 6 and offers a wide range of facilities which the children love and enjoy, creating a wonderful safe space for them and reassurance for parents.

Picnics is based at Moulton College and for various reasons, the college have terminated the use of the building used by Picnics. Despite the exhaustive efforts of Tracy and her staff, they have not managed to secure a local alternative facility and as a result, Picnics has no choice but to close its doors on 31st July 2023.

This will inevitably cause a significant issue for the families within Moulton and surrounding areas, affecting the 100 young children that use the facility. Other local childcare providers are at capacity leaving parents with the huge issue on how to manage childcare with work. 

It's clear this is going to cripple so many families. There is not enough childcare in and around Moulton to allow families to work and pay bills. During a cost of living crisis, where families are already struggling, this is more import than ever!!!

Tracey and her team have been working tirelessly to find alternative premises in the village to continue this vital service that parents rely on so much, only to be refused at every step for one reason or another.

This is an urgent and desperate plea to Moulton Parish Council, our local MP and local organisations, charitable bodies and educational establishments to help the huge number if young children and their families affected - PLEASE SAVE PICNICS!!
