Zac’s Club Riccall opened in September 2017, and gathered pace rapidly from day 1. We extended our service early on from 3 afternoons a week to now offering full sessions Monday to Friday. Breakfast club runs from 7.30-9.00am every morning, and After School Club runs from school finish to 6.00pm each afternoon. We also open for Holiday Club on selected days during the holidays from 8.00am until 6.00pm, more details can be found on the ‘Holiday Club’ page. Sessions are currently operated in the School Hall.
The team at Riccall is headed up by Manager Erika Kirsch-Maskill. Erika joined us as a Playworker initially shortly after our Riccall setting opened in 2017. Since then she has completed both her Level 3 and Level 5 childcare qualifications, whilst working with us, and has been promoted to Deputy, then Manager.
Assisting Erika are Deputy Manager Lauren Moughan, and Playworkers Tiff Lumley, Hazel Cannon, Elizabeth Lewis, and level 3 Apprentice Angel Costello. Most of our team work across both of our settings, and full details of our staff accomplishments and qualifications are on the ‘Meet the Team’ page.
All of our staff have been trained in Safeguarding, Prevent, Food Safety, and Paediatric First Aid to level 2 which is renewed every 3 years. Additional training and measures have been taken in response to the Covid 19 outbreak, and the risk assessment accessed through this page is regularly updated to reflect the latest government guidelines.
Zac’s Club Riccall had their first Ofsted inspection in June 2019, and were rated ‘Good’. This was a great achievement, and the team were particularly praised for their support of the Early Years Curriculum in following on from learning in school into the activities in the setting.

Following the Coronavirus outbreak and 2 periods of lockdown of schools, and unfortunately the temporary closure of our Club at Riccall we successfully returned to school on Monday 8th March 2021 putting in additional measures to ensure that the Club remained as safe as possible were implemented. Following the latest government guidance we no longer have any Covid restrictions, we do still follow all of the government guidelines in respect of Covid precautions. Zac’s Club still request that parents do not send their children to club if they are unwell, and adhere to our sickness policy which is updated regularly and can be emailed on request.
