At our Junior Holiday Club for children aged 3-6 years, your child’s happiness and comfort come first. Every child is paired with a dedicated pastoral care key worker who is there to make sure they feel safe, settled, and supported throughout the day. From helping them find their way around and assisting at mealtimes to reading a favourite book during quiet moments or joining in the fun when they’re ready to run and play—our team is always by their side.
Whether it’s digging in the sandpit, lending a hand with tricky art and craft activities, or encouraging new skills, we create a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. It’s a warm, caring space designed for little ones to feel confident, happy, and truly at home.
📵 Screen-Free Fun – Real Play, Real Smiles
At Junior Club, we believe in hands-on experiences and face-to-face friendships. No tablets, no TVs – just imaginative play, creative crafts, and outdoor adventures that keep children active, engaged and happy.
May Half Term Holiday Club Bookings Are Open!
Over May Half Term at our Junior Holiday Club, children are encouraged to explore, create, and play in a fun and nurturing environment. Alongside our exciting pirate-themed activities, children have access to a range of engaging free-play zones designed to spark imagination and build confidence.
Creative areas offer painting, play dough, and hands-on crafts, while sensory trays are filled with sand, water, and hidden treasures to discover. Role play and dressing-up areas allow children to bring their own pirate adventures to life, encouraging storytelling and imaginative play.
