Stokenham Explorers first opened its doors in February this year. A before and after school club which started as an idea of one local school Mum and has developed, with the support of Stokenham Area Primary school, in Kingsbridge and Devon County Council into a much needed and successful enterprise.

When Caroline Baldwin and her family first relocated to the South Hams in August 2024, one of the main barriers for her and her husband Mark to securing a job was the lack of available before and after school childcare in and around the region.

The national wraparound childcare programme which was introduced in 2024 has meant that Caroline was able to change this, ensuring her own job security, employing two other members of staff and providing essential childcare for working parents. In feedback about the provision, Stokenham parents described it as ‘a complete gamechanger’ making ‘juggling work and home life so much easier,’ ‘significantly reducing the stress of trying to fit work in around school hours’ and meaning that parents ‘can spend more quality time’ with their children.

Executive Head Teacher, Tessa Coulthard recognised the need for this care across the school federation and so the Malborough Explorers are the next venture to be run by Caroline and her team. Malborough Explorers, based at Malborough with South Huish C of E Primary School in Kingsbridge, are currently recruiting staff to manage and grow this crucial and exciting wraparound provision- any interested candidates should see the job advertisements on the front cover of this issue.
