In May 2001 Auckland Out of School Care was set up at Auckland Youth & Community Centre. This was in response to requests from Parents/carers and the local community. Since its opening Auckland Out of School Care has been committed to providing high quality childcare for the children in and around the surrounding areas of Bishop Auckland, giving them lots of play / learning opportunities. During an after school session the children are picked up from school by our club mini bus, walking bus or car and are brought back to the club where they have snack and take part in many activities until they are collected by their parents/carers. In the holidays the children are dropped off and collected by parents/carers and take part in many activities here at the club or on outings during the day.
