MULTI-ACTIVITY DAY CAMP

For children in Reception to year 8, operating from 8am to 5pm each day of the school holidays

Each day is packed full of a huge variety of exciting activities varying from sports, outdoor exploration, arts & crafts to team games and challenges. Whilst no two days are ever the same, with our woodlands, grounds and the on-site swimming pool, we always make sure we fit in some Woodland Games and a Fun Swim. We work with the aim ‘fun for all’, encouraging children to make new friends and try new activities. Our activity timetable is designed to give every child the opportunity to develop cognitively, physically, socially and artistically.

* HOLIDAY PLAYDAYS*

Are you looking for a holiday camp for your three or four year old?

Holiday Playdays will combine exceptional care with a whole host of fun, interactive activities, encouraging children to explore and learn through play in a safe and happy environment. Based in our Pre-school Ark Nursery, Holiday Playdays will make use of spaces and resources specifically designed for three and four year olds. Children will spend at least part of each day outside, in the beautiful Ark Secret Garden, on a nature trail, exploring our Woodland Classroom or playing games on our MUGA.

Let by our Early Years Teachers, we’ve got some brilliant plans in place to keep your little ones busy and having fun in the holidays.
