Arts & Crafts Activities
– BE CREATIVE –
We welcome creativity at our holiday camps by giving children their very own platform to bring their thoughts to life.
Whether this be designing Jack-o’-Lanterns out of card at our October Camp, or bunny ears out of PVA glue and pipe cleaners at our Easter Camp, we ensure all attendees have the opportunity to tap into their artistic potential.
RECEPTION-BASED ACTIVITIES
(EYFS)
– full day provision –
We are now accepting bookings for children in reception for the whole day. Reception children will be part of our Mini Movers holiday camp and grouped together. The offer will consist of age-appropriate physical activities that promote physical cognitive, social, and emotional development in a safe environment. There will also be structured and unstructured play, more creative activities such as arts & crafts and a quiet area made available to the children.
We will have highly-Skilled key workers who will work with the group to understand the unique needs of young children and promote positive behavior. Our staff-to-children ratio will aim for 1:8 to ensure children get the attention & support they need. To add to this, a key worker will communicate with parents to inform them how their child is getting on.
dance & drama activities
– Express Yourself –
Our Dance and Drama activities are essential components of all our holiday camp programmes.
These activities help children develop a range of skills, including creativity, communication, coordination, and teamwork. We’ve seen that engaging in dance and drama activities boosts self-confidence and self-esteem, while also encouraging children to express themselves in a fun and safe environment.
Also, these activities promote physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, providing an opportunity for children to stay active and energised throughout their holiday.
Overall, our dance and drama activities are a great way for children to learn, grow, and have fun during their breaks from school.
