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.

We try to cater for all interests and offer a variety of enrichment (structured) activities. Children do not usually have to join in any of the scheduled or enrichment activities as there are other activities for children to engage with.
We encourage children to engage in a variety of activities during the day, and we also encourage them to suggest games they would like to play on the day.
