ACTIVITIES ON OFFER

Both the breakfast club and after-school club offer a range of fun packed activities ranging from arts and crafts, sports, extreme activities and games.

We offer a variety of sports, including football, dodgeball, cricket, and more, designed to encourage physical activity, teamwork, and fun. These activities help children develop motor skills, improve coordination, and build confidence in a structured and supportive setting. By engaging in team sports, children also learn important social skills such as cooperation, turn-taking, and communication, which can enhance their ability to interact positively with peers.

From go-karts and bouncy castles to sumo suits and soft-archery, our extreme activities provide high-energy fun in a safe and controlled environment. These activities help children develop spatial awareness, balance, and body coordination while allowing them to explore movement in an exciting and engaging way. Our trained staff ensure that adaptations are available so every child can participate, fostering inclusivity and boosting self-esteem.

Painting, drawing, and other hands-on artistic activities provide children with an opportunity to express themselves freely. Creative activities offer a valuable outlet for self-expression, emotional regulation, and sensory exploration. Engaging in arts and crafts can also help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving abilities in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere..

Through nature-based games and outdoor adventures, children can build confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection with the natural world. Outdoor exploration offers sensory-rich experiences that stimulate curiosity and encourage self-discovery. Activities such as scavenger hunts, bug spotting, and nature walks provide structured opportunities for social interaction while promoting physical and emotional well-being.

We incorporate engaging team challenges that develop social skills, promote collaboration, and build resilience. These problem-solving activities encourage communication, patience, and positive peer interactions in a structured and supportive environment. By working together to complete challenges, children gain confidence in their abilities, develop friendships, and learn valuable life skills in an enjoyable and stress-free way.
