Holiday clubs take place every school holiday and we also provide Breakfast and after school clubs serving several schools in the area.

Children enjoy a varied and exciting programme including construction play, sports, games, cooking, arts and crafts bouncy castle, day trips and lots more fun in our well-equipped premises. Please see the enclosed timetable. All of the children are positively encouraged to join in and try the activities on offer as listed on the time table, however if a child is unhappy with the activity and would prefer an alternative e.g. Board game, construction play this will be offered. Chucklebox Children’s Club policy is to promote an enjoyable safe and secure environment where care is tailored to the individual.

Chucklebox policies are available to view please ask.

Parents are requested to send children in old, labelled clothes, and it is advisable that children do not bring their own toys or collectors cards to the club, as we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage.

Should your child display severe behavioural difficulties or have a severe disruptive effect on the rest of the group we will firstly try our utmost to support the child and if it has no positive outcome, the club reserves the right to withdraw your child with a refund for outstanding monies forwarded by post. These measures will only be taken if all other measures to improve behaviour have been exhausted.
