/Finding childcare during the holiday periods can be difficult for families, specifically finding clubs that are open early in the morning till late in the evening. Our Little Outdoor Classroom & Daycare has a holiday club for children aged between 3 and 12 years. The opening hours are 7:30am to 6:00pm.
Children registered in the Out of School care will automatically be offered a place in the Holiday Club, if they require it, however this service is available to anyone, whether you need it on a regular basis or just a day here-and-there.
For more information contact Susie.
