Danish term or phrase: skolefritidsordning / SFO
This is the replacement for a 'fritidshjem', for which Vinterberg/Bodelsen gives recreation centre, youth club etc.

They are set up at schools, with the idea that children have a more integrated day if they stay in the same place, and were originally less purpose-built (less well equipped, and had less space... )than 'fritidshjem'.

I just wondered if there is another term for them in English? UK preferably, but all comments are very welcome!

after school club
Explanation:
Bruges om nøjagtig den slags ordning, du beskriver. Det er netop skolens lokaler og ressourcer, der benyttes, men oftest med personale uafhængigt af lærerstaben, og bruges af børn i "primary school"-alderen, dvs. 4-11 år.

Youth club


Explanation:
Jeg mener ikke der er et ord som dækker skolefritidsordning på engelsk bedre end youth club. I england gå børn jo gerne i skole til senere på eftermiddagen og har derfor ikke brug for opholdssted udenfor skoletid i samme grad som i Danmark. Godt nok er youth club for lidt ældre børn eller mere teenagers, men det er nok det nærmeste på skolefritidsordning ihvertfald i daglig tale.
