Holiday Club

Schools Out Holiday Club runs every half and full-term break throughout the year and over the full Summer Holidays.  By releasing the agenda for each holiday well in advance, children can get excited and look forward to coming!  Each day there is something for everyone to do, in group activities or a quiet space.

Children aged 4-11yrs (currently attending Primary School) from all over South Derbyshire/Staffordshire border attend. As an extremely friendly club, full of fun, we love to make new friends!

Yummy home-cooked food is available daily at lunch and tea, with fresh fruit always available. Children can experience BBQs, picnics and cook on an open fire which is exciting. Children really enjoy making their own food with us and learning new kitchen skills under close supervision.

The Schools Out Club activities are amazing and include: Forest School, cooking & baking, clothes designing & fashion shows, science experiments (that go bang!), walks into the local countryside, and theatre & drama – there’s truly never a dull moment!

You can enjoy lots of exciting trips out to local attractions such as Conkers, Matlock Bath, Markeaton Park, Rosliston Forestry Centre, which are always enjoyed by all. We have our own private fully electric minibuses for tips out. With First Aid training, DBS check, and years of experience, parents can rest assured their children are in safe hands. High Vis jackets are provided for trips out and we keep in contact with parents throughout the day.
