HOLIDAY CLUBS - ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
At our holiday clubs, we can really get stuck into our most immersive and exciting activities. We know it can be daunting for children to spend a whole day with new people, that’s why we always ensure they get a warm welcome and that we get fun and simple team games running straight away. Watching children’s confidence grow and new friendships form during our holiday clubs is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
We have a great range of entertaining activities planned each holiday.
AGE Clubs are suitable for children Age 5 (as long as they have already started in Year 1) up to the age of 12 (for OFSTED purposes children need to be 5 years old and already started in Year 1 at school. For Nerf activity days, we strongly advise age 6+ due to Nerf being of a more competitive nature. Please ensure your child enjoys this activity as it will be the main one of the day.

WHAT WE DO We're all about playing outdoors whatever the weather, being silly, having fun, making new friends and learning some new skills! Every day is different, we run specific activities in small groups throughout the day - games, learning skills, communicating, making, playing & creating memories. A non-competitive environment, with activities throughout the holidays to suit everyone from the quiet and methodical to the louder and livelier. We encourage a supportive and happy environment where the children can build friendships, succeed at new tasks and feel relaxed in an open green space. We encourage physical "green" exercise throughout our gameplay to promote health and wellbeing.
A TYPICAL DAY:
- Clubs run from 9am - 3pm (we do not offer an early drop off or a late pickup service)
- On arrival, sign in with the leader. We can check your child's emergency contact details and any allergies or additional needs to make sure your day with us is safe and fun (we will see this in advance from our register too)
- Once signed in, we'll put your child's bag in the designated area and the children will join the rest of the group to play games whilst the rest of the children sign in
- We'll introduce ourselves to the children and tell them all about the plans for the day
- They'll be split into smaller groups for the day and asked if they’d like to switch to be with friends/siblings
- The instructors will stay with their group for the day, moving from activity to activity
- There will be water, hand-washing and toilet breaks throughout the day
- We run three small activities per day, based around a theme, divided by a snack break (around 11:30am) and a lunch break (around 1pm)
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING?
- A morning snack, a packed lunch & a water bottle
- Sturdy shoes - no flip flops please! Wellies are encouraged in autumn & winter
- Appropriate clothing for the season/weather: In summer, light & airy clothing, a sun hat and sun cream (we have sun cream on site too). In cooler seasons, warmer clothes, gloves, a hat & a waterproof coat. Please check the forecast before coming so you're prepared for the weather that day.
- A sense of adventure!
FIRST TIME WITH US? It's normal to be a little nervous on your first day but trust us when we say everyone who comes has SO MUCH FUN! All our instructors are really kind and friendly and they are there to make sure everyone has a good time. They love to show you how to join in and will make sure to introduce you to new friends. Read our article discussing why our clubs are great for shy children.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: We love to accommodate everyone but please do make sure to check the activity for the day prior to booking and that it's a good fit for your child, to get the most out of the day. Once with us, they will be expected and encouraged to participate in the planned activity all day, so to avoid any disappointment, please consider the activity you are booking them on is a good fit.
FOOD POLICY: Children eat lunch in their groups. We ask children not to share food due to possible allergies within the group. Our gazebos are set up for the children to sit with the instructors and their friends for lunch. Children will be encouraged to eat their lunch at a sensible rate and what is comfortable for them. When our activity involves cooking on a campfire, we can provide alternatives for allergies and dietary requirements. Please let us know as much as possible about any allergies or other dietary requirements when making your booking.
HOME TIME: The children are asked to stay with their groups until the instructor calls them over at sign out time. If there are any last-minute changes to pick up (different to drop off or the details we have for you), please call the office or the site coordinator (their number will be displayed at the gate). Please also ensure that the children take all their belonging's home with them.
STAFF: Our staff are DBS checked, safeguarding trained and there are first aid trained instructors at every club. All holiday clubs will have a folder at sign in for information like Ofsted registrations, insurance and first aid certificates.
'ROAM' CLUB T-SHIRTS: Our club member T-shirts available to buy. Please contact your local franchise to buy one. These are great for sewing our patches onto!
SEN CHILDREN: We are an inclusive club and fully promote the many benefits of time spent outdoors for all children. We do participate in organised activities and can operate a ratio of 1 instructor to 10 children during holiday clubs. If your child has additional needs, please do get in touch and we'd be happy to discuss further to advise whether the holiday club environment is the right fit. If your child receives one to one support at school, please contact us before booking so we can look at whether we can offer the support required.
