After School Club

A Place Parents Can Trust — and Kids Can’t Wait to Go To
At Arcadia, we understand that choosing an after-school club is about far more than just keeping children busy. Parents want a space that is safe, structured, welcoming, and enriching — somewhere their children can unwind after a long school day while having fun in a positive environment. Our After-School Club has been carefully designed with families in mind. It’s a place where children can play, socialise, and relax under full staff supervision, in a venue built specifically for entertainment, wellbeing, and inclusivity.

Session Times
Our After-School Club runs Monday to Friday during term time, giving children a safe and enjoyable place to unwind after the school day.

Session Time: 3:30 pm – 6:00 pm

Children can be dropped off any time from 3:30 pm onwards and collected at any point up to 6:00 pm, offering flexibility for parents finishing work or managing pick-ups.

Arcadia’s After-School Club isn’t just childcare — it’s a space where children can relax, play, make friends, and be themselves in a safe and exciting environment. Spaces are limited to ensure quality supervision, so we recommend booking in advance.

Located in Darlington town centre, Arcadia is easily accessible for families across Darlington and County Durham

Safe, Supervised & Structured

Your child’s safety and well-being are our top priorities.

Fully supervised sessions by DBS checked Arcadia staff
Controlled entry and exit — no unsupervised wandering
Clear session times and structured activity zones
Staff are always present on the floor to support, guide, and assist

We create a balanced environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and included.

A Positive Alternative to Screens at Home

Instead of sitting at home alone after school, Arcadia offers:

Social interaction with other children
Supervised gaming in a controlled setting
A space to relax and decompress after school
Opportunities to build teamwork and communication skills

Gaming becomes a shared, social experience, not isolated screen time.

Something for Every Child

Every child is different — and that’s exactly why Arcadia works so well. During each session, children can choose from a wide range of activities, including:

Arcade games
Console gaming
Racing simulators
Group games and social play

There’s no pressure, no forced activities, and no overstimulation. Children can take part at their own pace, building confidence and friendships naturally.
