Owner - Katie Cameron
I am firstly a mum, both my children attended St Marks and are now at The Downs, they both thrived at the school and it will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
St Marks didn't have an after school club up until September 2019 when XP Kids opened. I felt that in order to attract working parents to the school we needed to offer after school care, that is where XP Kids was born. It is named after my children Xander & Poppy!
Although I have a great team of staff in place I am often at the club making sure the children & staff are happy.
I do all the bookings and admin behind the scenes so if you have ay questions please just email me on info@xpkids.co.uk
Mel Jewell - Manager
Mel joined the team in November 2020 as a play worker, from a local primary school where she worked as a 1:1 SEN assistant. Mel has a love for all things arts & crafts and the children love her :)
From September 2021 Mel was promoted to Club Manager and is in charge of the day to day running of the club, if you have any questions you are welcome to ask her when you collect your child / children. Mel is also a TA at St Marks so the children see her throughout their school day too.
Eddie Wylie - Deputy Manager
Eddie (Mr Wylie) has worked at the club on an ad-hoc basis since we started back in 2019, the children love having a familiar face from their school day at the club. Eddie predominantly supervises any sporting activities throughout the session. Eddie is the acting club manager when Mel is absent.
Harvey Rampton - Senior Playworker
Harvey joined the team in 2024 having gained 5 years experience in local after school clubs. Harvey's enthusiasm is infectious and the children gravitate towards this. Harvey is usually found in the playground getting stuck in with all the games!
Hayley Clutton - Playworker
Hayley has joined the team in April 2026 and has become a firm favourite with the children. Hayley brings a calm and caring nature, but she's always keen to join in the fun too! Hayley has joined us from Age UK where she was a carer and she looks after her granddaughter when she isn't at the club.
