Holiday Club
Afternoon Club and Half-Hour Club
We open registration for the Afternoon Club and Half-Hour Club in May preceding the next academic year starting in August. While our slots tend to fill up fast, spaces may become available throughout the year. Typically, we have more availability in the Half-Hour Club from Mondays to Thursdays, as Fridays are more popular.

Can you tell me more about Holiday Club?
The summer holiday booking system will soon open for reservations through your online account. You'll receive an email notification regarding the booking dates.
Please note that we'll only accommodate 16 children per day, and even if certain days are popular, this capacity is unlikely to change.
If you need to cancel a summer booking without incurring charges, please do so at least two weeks before the start of the holidays.
We provide breakfast and snacks for the children, but they need to bring their own lunches. Just a friendly reminder: no nuts in lunch boxes, as we have children at the club with severe allergies.
The holiday club welcomes children from 8:15 am, and all children should be picked up by 5:45 pm. Please note that there is a pick-up late policy in place, with a fee of £7.50. This fee covers the additional costs incurred when staff work beyond scheduled hours due to late pick-ups.
