The Hive in Rushden
Find out more about our wraparound care for Whitefriars Primary and Southend Infant and Junior Schools as well as our exciting Holiday Clubs.
The Hive - Our dedicated building for breakfast, after school and holiday clubs for children aged 4 to 12.
We provide stimulating, quality Ofsted registered childcare in a safe and vibrant setting, which includes an impressive outdoor area and an exciting range of activities to suit your child’s needs. The Hive children have their own dedicated building ran by Mollie Richardson and her team of Play Workers.
Welcome to The Hive. Myself and my team have created a home from home environment for the children to play and relax. During term time we offer a walking bus service to and from local schools. Once at The Hive we have a variety of activities and crafts, plus a large garden area to enjoy after school. We also offer a holiday club with activities such as baking, park trips and bus trips within the local area. The children are at the heart of The Hive and we provide a safe nurturing environment for children aged 4-12.

Breakfast & After School Club
During Breakfast Club, children can start the day having a nutritious breakfast and engaging in various activities with friends before the journey to school. Our friendly and nurturing staff ensure that all children’s needs are recognised and that their transition from The Hive to school is as smooth as possible each day.
The After School club at The Hive is delivered by our team of Playworkers who plan a range of fun activities and opportunities for your child to unwind after a long day at school. The cosy snug areas and our homely kitchen make it a home from home experience and our large garden is a warm welcome for those still with plenty of energy. Some of the activities the children have access to are: board games, art and crafts, outside sports, role play, Wii games, and much more.
We currently offer a walking bus service to Southend Infants and Juniors and Whitefriars Infants and Juniors.
