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:
·   Space room:               Equipped with networked computers.
·   Kitchen:                     Children can participate in cooking activities.
·   A chill out room:         Can be used to relax by reading a book, watching a film, playing table
                                    football, snooker or play station.
·   Activity room:             Equipped with 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 and signed over at 10am. Children booked into late drop-off will be collected from their registration points at 4pm and taken to Fun Club. Parents utilising the Fun Club facility will need to drop off and pick up their children from Fun Club. Please note the late pick-up charge includes a hot tea. Childcare vouchers can be used to pay for this facility. For more information please call our office.

The programme is designed for children to have an action-packed week of skill and personal development. We are mindful of the fact that it is their holiday and the emphasis for these courses is on having lots of fun, making new friends, and learning new skills through active participation.
Our facilities are excellent and appropriate for all age ranges and we work within required ratios. We employ qualified teachers/instructors who 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.
