What does Ofsted registered mean?

Our camps are Ofsted registered which means all of our staff have certain qualifications as well as an enhanced DBS check, paediatric first aid training and a commitment to continual professional development. It also means our venues and day to day running hit Ofsted requirements to ensure your child is in a safe environment.

How much do holiday camps cost?

As an Ofsted Registered camp our pricing reflects the standard of childcare that we provide as well as the variety of activities that we offer.

Who are the coaches?

All of the coaches we hire are experienced and qualified professionals, who are keen to help your child learn everything about sport! All our coaches must have completed a CRB check as standard.

What does my child need to wear for a holiday camp?

All of our holiday camps have indoor and outdoor facilities but we still need your child to be prepared for any weather conditions. Where the weather is particularly cold or wet, children will remain indoors. We advise your children to wear:

Shorts/tracksuit bottoms
A t-shirt and jumper/jacket
A coat for outdoor activities
Suitable footwear such as trainers are important
Football boots can be worn if we are on the 3G pitch or field
If the weather is particularly hot, please ensure sun cream is applied and a hat can be worn. Ideally, all day sun protection should be applied so that there is less need to reapply during the course of the day.

Do I need to supply food/drink for my child on a holiday camp?

Yes, for each day your child is on camp, they will need the following:

A named water bottle
A packed lunch
A snack for break time

Drinking water is available at all of our locations to refill.

What time do I need to drop off and pick up my child?

It is very important that you are prompt with dropping off and collecting your child. We hire facilities for 8am - 5pm daily, therefore our insurance only covers these time periods. Please drop your child at 8am and collect them at or just before 5pm each day. Thank you.

Where do I drop off and pick up my child?

There will be a coach in the car park areas of all the venues to direct you to the correct registration point.
