During our childcare and holiday sessions, we cater for all children from 5-11 years and up to 13-years-old for those on teen #HAF.
While we try and focus on sports specific childcare, we understand that not all children are ‘sporty’ which is why we also offer arts, crafts, fun and games.
Our sport sessions, include coaching sessions, drills and competitions with plenty of tournaments and game play.
These courses offer great value for children and parents and ensure that children are safe and active during the school holidays.
For total flexibility for working parents/carers we can also offer childcare between 8am-5pm.
This is really popular with parents as they can drop off early and pick up late knowing that their children are in good hands.
Children will need suitable clothing for indoor and outdoor play, snacks and a packed lunch, plenty to drink and the correct attitude and behaviour for a challenging but thoroughly enjoyable experience.
