Pathfinder Holiday Club
Our holiday club is located at Pathfinder CofE Primary School. We primarily operate out of the wraparound care room, hall and main playground.
We will be open during all school holidays aside from Summer & Easter where an existing provider operates.
We welcome children from Pathfinder and all other neighbouring schools.
The cost of a holiday club session is currently £30 and children can be dropped off anytime after 8am and collected before 6pm.
What will your child get up to?
We aim to provide an engaging and enjoyable environment for children to spend time in.
Children will be able to play freely all day if they wish with the vast amount of resources available. They will also have the choice to join in with any of the 3 scheduled activities for the day. You can find out what these activities are by taking a look at our programme which is released a few weeks before each holiday.
Some of the resources available include:
- Scooters
- Sand pit
- Mud kitchen
- Climbing frame
- Den building mats
- Swingball
- football
- go karts
- keyboard & other musical instruments
- arts and crafts
- board games
- construction toys
- reading/quiet corner
Children will be given the opportunity to join in with playing Mariokart or Just Dance on the Wii too. All children are given the same amount of time to play these games and will have the opportunity to do so in the morning and afternoon.
