Subject: Important Announcement – Clee Kids Club
Dear Parents and Carers,
It is with very heavy hearts that we share some sad news. After many wonderful years of caring for and supporting so many amazing children and families, Clee Kids Club will be closing its doors for the final time at the end of October half-term, on 31st October 2025.
This decision has not been made lightly. Over the years we have worked hard to keep the club running, but rising costs and changes in government promotion of schools offering their own wraparound care have made it increasingly difficult. On top of this, outstanding fees from both past and present bookings have placed additional strain on us. We now need around £8,000 per month just to cover essentials such as staff wages, rent, food, utilities, insurance, and our booking system — and unfortunately, this has become unsustainable.
I want to personally apologise for not sending this letter out sooner. I have found this an incredibly difficult decision to come to terms with, and I have truly struggled with the thought of saying goodbye to something that means so much to me, our team, and all of the children we care for.
We are incredibly proud of what we have built together — the friendships, the milestones, and the countless happy memories. It has been a privilege to care for your children and to be part of their lives.
To mark our last day together, we will be holding a Halloween Party on Friday 31st October, from 2–4pm at the club. Everyone is welcome — past and present children and parents — and we would love for you to join us for one final celebration filled with fun, games, and laughter.
We kindly ask that any outstanding balances are settled as soon as possible, to allow us to meet our final commitments and begin to pay off our remaining COVID loan. Our bank details are below for anyone needing them:

Although this chapter is ending, we will always carry with us the joy, laughter and memories of the children we’ve had the privilege of looking after.
With heartfelt thanks,
Lauren, Kirsty, Lesley, Kay, Stacey and Adelaide
