Please find enclosed our Holiday Programme for Easter 2016.

The programme was created in consultation with the children at Ladywell and Deans out of school care clubs; we strive to promote a child centred approach as much as possible. Children attend the club in their free time therefore we try to make their time here as fun and enjoyable as possible and we aim to follow their lead on activities and play throughout the day.

The children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide balance and variety of activities along with those on the plan such as sports, swimming, construction play, role play, board games, parachute games and lots of outdoor play.

We aim to be outside with the children as much as possible and on very nice days we will take tables, chairs, art activities, games etc out too.

Trips

We are only planning trips within the local area. There will be no additional costs and mode of transport will be by foot. Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing for the weather.

Can we ensure that your child has the following when attending on holiday days:

·  For those days when we aren’t so lucky, rain jackets and wellies as we are aiming to be outside as much as possible.

·  Appropriate clothing and footwear for indoors/ outdoors/ weather and sports activities.

·  Children to wear old clothes as children will be doing lots of messy activities and a change of clothes for your child in case of getting wet.

·  We provide healthy morning and afternoon snacks.

·  Remember a packed lunch if attending all day sessions. A packed lunch can also be included on morning sessions if you wish. Lunch is at 12.15pm. Please provide a cold packed lunch for your child as we are unable to reheat food. We would be obliged if lunches contained no peanut butter/nutella etc. as we there are children who attend the club with allergies.

·  A water bottle so children can take a drink with them while they are playing outdoors and on trips.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

·  Please ensure you sign your child in on arrival and out at pick up.

·  Please ensure the club has up to date contact information and allergy/medical information.

·  All activities have been risked assessed; by booking your child in for the session you are giving permission for your child to take part in the activities.

·  Children should not have mobile phones or any items with a camera for child protection purposes. If these items are brought to the club then they will be stored in the office until pick up.

·  Free swimming is on offer every day (except in-service days) for over 8’s. Please ensure you have signed a permission slip. Your child must be over 8 years old and be confident in the water. Staff escort children to and from the pool. A staff member will supervise children from the seating area during swimming and will supervise children in the changing area before and after swimming.

·  Please be aware that face paints, make-up, nail varnish & hair products may be used during free play activities. If you do not want your child to have these products applied then please inform staff.

·  As well as the main play room our accommodation includes gym halls, dance hall, swimming pool, astro turf, playing fields, basketball courts, and quadrangle outdoor play area, all of which we make good use of depending on children’s interests.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.
