Activities including cookery, woodwork, sports and arts will be on offer at a new after-school club.
The club, Mad Hatters, will provide after-school care for up to 16 children at the Kaleidoscope centre for families in Oxford Road, Kidlington. Walkers will collect children from four primary schools in the village.
Mad Hatters was opened on September 6 by Oxford United football player Sam Ricketts.
Sharon Bockett, who is responsible for running the club with two others, said: "The Kaleidoscope centre is now an independent organisation, instead of the family centre it used to be, and is registered as a charity that depends on grants to remain open.
"Mad Hatters will rent the centre. It will also be able to apply for more grants and independent funding, as it will be being used more by the community.
"We've already had quite a lot of interest in the after-school club and are hoping to be able to increase our numbers to take 24 children."
