Summer Holiday Programme 2017:

3/07/17-21/08/17

Please note our Programme is available ONLINE

Listed in this pack is a diary of activities, trips and our snack menu for the summer holiday club. Additional information regarding your child’s day at the club as well as additional information for trips and activities is also included. The plan was made up through consultation with the children at Deans and Ladywell Simply Play clubs; we strive to promote a child centred approach as much as possible. Children attend the club in their free time therefore we try to make their time here as fun and enjoyable as possible. The children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide balance and variety of activities along with those on the plan such as sports, swimming, construction play, role play, board games, parachute games and lots and lots of outdoor play. We always aim to be outside with the children and on very nice days we will take tables, chairs, art activities, and games etc. out too.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.
