Activities
Our Mission
Too often, the early years are overlooked in holiday childcare and entertainment. Many camps cater well to school-age children but fail to consider the unique needs of younger ones, resulting in daunting environments and activities that are too advanced and un-engaging.
That's where we come in. Our camps are tailor-made to introduce 3 to 6-year-olds to the joys of camp life. We've crafted an immersive program that fosters play, cultivates peer relationships, enhances vocabulary, boosts confidence, and sparks creativity. Our secret sauce? A carefully curated team blending childcare experts with entertainers, creating a perfect blend of safety, education, and fun.
Our mission is clear: to offer high-quality early years holiday camps, nurturing these formative years and crafting unforgettable memories. We strive to ensure that every child has a brilliant and engaging week, with activities shaped by an underlying foundation of educational benefits.
We strictly adhere to government guidelines on staffing, ratios, safeguarding, and welfare in our holiday camp.
Additionally, we integrate the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework into our daily activities, providing not only engaging content but also unique educational opportunities beyond the standard school or nursery environment.
