School Holiday clubs – all the details parents want to know

School holiday clubs are saving parents’ sanity across the country, and it’s not surprising. With many families it is key that both parents work full time to ensure they cover the rising cost of living. Every parent knows that their annual leave doesn’t quite cover the school holidays, and many families aren’t able to rely on other members of the family to bridge the gap. This makes school holiday clubs a vital part of a parent’s tool box. School holiday clubs aren’t just for the parents who are working full time. School holiday clubs are extremely beneficial for children too. They get to experience new activities, meet new people, and create fantastic memories all in the process. For those who are new to the school system looking at the school holidays can be daunting. Especially when considering the vast amount of holiday clubs that are promoted within the local area. It can be hard to trust which one is best. Here at Heathfield Knoll, we want to empower our parents and provide them with as much information as possible surrounding school holiday clubs. Whether those school holiday clubs are connected with the school or independent.

What school holiday clubs are available?

There are many different types of holiday clubs available. From sports holiday clubs, to drama and arts holiday clubs, and even forest school holiday clubs. When choosing a school holiday club for your child, consider what activities are going on and pick the one that best suits your child’s interests. There are a few different ways you can look for holiday clubs that are independent from a school. Online and social media are two of the most popular ways to search. Some schools who are unable to provide school holiday clubs themselves often work directly with a provider. This would be one of the most secure ways of sourcing a holiday club.

When should you book school holiday clubs?

As soon as possible. School holiday clubs are extremely popular for many reasons, as soon as you know which days you will need care for your child you should book a spot. Many holiday clubs have online portals in which you can book your child’s place. There may be additional activities that you would like to book at this time too. Always speak to the provider of the holiday club if you have any questions.
