Late Pick-up 4 - 6pm (includes a light tea)
We operate an Ofsted registered early morning drop-off & late pick-up facility which is called Fun Club. The aim of Fun Club is to provide a service to parents who need to arrange care for their children outside of the Holiday Activity Course hours. The Fun Club will be a time to relax, play and enjoy being with friends in a caring, stimulating environment. All our lead play staff have attended training in Playwork and are skilled and experienced in the care of children. The Fun Club has a number of rooms which cater for the wide age range of children; these include:
A chill out room:
Can be used to relax by surfing the internet, reading a book, watching a film or
playing on a play station.
Activity room: Equipped with table football, snooker, construction games,
toys & puzzles, imaginative play and art resources.
Outdoor play area: Children will also be able to play in a well resourced
outdoor play area with basketball nets, scooters, skateboards and goal posts
Fun Club opens at 8am in the morning and children are then taken to their respective course registration points by Fun Club staff and signed over at 10am. Children booked into late drop-off will be collected by Fun Club staff from their registration points at 4pm and taken to Fun Club. Parents utilising this facility will need to drop off and pick up their children from Fun Club. Please note the charges include meals mentioned above. Childcare vouchers can be used to pay for this facility. For more information please call our office.

Our facilities are excellent and appropriate for all age ranges and we work within required ratios. We employ qualified teachers/instructors who are CRB cleared and supervise the children all day so parents can feel at ease knowing their children are cared for in a safe and stimulating environment. When planning these courses we endeavour to cater for the diverse needs of children and hope you will find we have something for everyone.
