Activities
Children from all schools are welcome at our Holiday Programmes!
Action packed with activities to keep busy bodies, little fingers and active minds engaged. There are plenty of opportunities for children to expand their interests by getting involved in arts and crafts projects, puzzles, baking and cooking, roleplay and theatre sports as well as active games and excursions.
We've had fantastic feedback from both parents and children, and many great friendships are formed between the children during their time with us.
