About Saturday Cafe
The Saturday Cafe Clubs launched in August 2001 with just five children at a single club. Today we run four weekly club sessions and nine weeks of holiday clubs, welcoming around 30 children and young people of all abilities to each session. That's 960 hours a year of fun and friendship for our kids, and 960 hours of short breaks for parents and carers.

Regulated, safe and caring
Our service for 5–18 year olds is regulated by the Care Inspectorate (service no. CS2017362953), with a full range of policies and procedures underpinning our practice, and copies are available on request. Our welcoming procedure helps every child settle in at their own pace, supported by staff who are sensitive to each child's unique needs.
