The Club Set Up

Upon arrival, your child will be welcomed and made to feel relaxed. They will be offered a varied choice of healthy snack and given the opportunity to partake in a wide rang of activities from craft, board games, Wii, DVD’s etc. Weather permitting, there will also be outdoor activities planned as much as possible.

Our aim is to create a “Home from Home” environment where your children will feel safe, relaxed and happy.
