TO BOOK: Book and pay online. A confirmation email with full details of your booking will be sent to you. You can book for just one day or for the full week.
AGE: We welcome all primary school aged children in Years 1 to Years 6. Reception aged children are not part of our OFSTED registration so we cannot accept this age group but we look forward to welcoming your child to our clubs in future!
On NERF Activity Days we strongly advise Age 6+ due to Nerf being of a more competitive nature. Please ensure your child enjoys this activity as it will be the main one of the day.
WHAT WE DO: We're all about playing outdoors, whatever the weather; being silly, having fun, making new friends and learning some new skills! Every day is different. We run specific activities in small groups throughout the day. These always include games, and also focus on learning new skills, communicating, making, playing & creating memories. We support a non-competitive environment, with a range of activities throughout the holidays to suit everyone - from the quiet and methodical to the louder and livelier. We encourage a supportive and happy environment where the children can build friendships, succeed at new tasks and feel relaxed in a green, open space. We encourage physical, outdoor exercise throughout our gameplay to promote health and wellbeing.

"You'll never be bored when you try something new. There's really no limit to what you can do!" Dr Suess.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: We love to accommodate everyone but please do make sure to check the activity for the day prior to booking and that it's a good fit for your child, to get the most out of the day.
HOME TIME: At the end of the day the children will be asked to sit at basecamp with their belongings and wait to be called forward by the leader. Children will be signed out to the pickup person named on the register. Any changes to this person just let us know prior to sign out.
FOOD POLICY Children will eat lunch in their groups. We ask children not to share lunches due to possible allergies within the group. Our gazebos are set up for the children to sit with the instructors and their friends for lunch. Children will be encouraged to eat their lunch at a sensible rate and what is comfortable for them. When our activity involves cooking on the campfire, we always provide alternatives for allergies and dietary requirements. You can note allergies or other dietary requirements when making your booking. Please alert the leader of any further information or required medicine regarding this when signing in..
STAFF All our staff are DBS checked, Safeguard trained and we have First Aid trained instructors at every club.
'ROAM' CLUB T-SHIRTS We have our special club member T-shirts available to buy! Please email to enquire about purchasing . These are great for sewing our patches onto!
SEN CHILDREN We are an inclusive club and fully promote the many benefits of time spent outdoors for all children. We do participate in organised activities and can operate a ratio of 1 instructor to 10 children during holiday clubs. If your child has additional needs please do get in touch and we'd be happy to discuss further to advise whether the holiday club environment is the right fit. If your child receives one to one support at school please contact us before booking so we can look at whether we can offer the support required.
