Schools Out Clubs
We provide care for children aged 3 - 11 years that are clean and toilet trained. During the school holiday our holiday club at the Balham site opens each morning at 8:00am and shuts at 6:30pm. We provide children that arrive before 9:00am with a breakfast and all the children are given a mid morning snack and afternoon tea, the children will also need to bring a packed lunch.
Each day the children follow planned, prepared fun activities.
Our holiday club is packed full of fun and includes trips out to many of London's museums, commons, parks, and adventure playgrounds and in the summer includes the seaside.
The club provides this all for one price with no additions.
We provide holiday care every School holiday apart from the Christmas period as the centre is shut.
