MINI Explorer Courses (Boys & Girls aged 4 or 5yrs)
Our Mini Explorer courses take place in our purpose built Pre-Prep building which is resourced specifically for 4-5 year olds. This is a secure building with intercom entry. It has wet and dry indoor play areas and an outdoor play area with a climbing frame and soft cushioned floor. Activities also take place on the School Field and in the Prep Hall and Gym. We adhere to OFSTED ratios of 1 adult : 8 children.
Cost: £100 per week or £28 per day
Please note: We have three 4-day weeks this year due to bank holidays.
These courses have been designed to let children express themselves with developmental activities in a positive and nurturing environment. The emphasis is to have fun and for the children to develop confidence through active participation. Sports and gymnastics sessions (in which children will use different equipment) will enable them to learn about spatial awareness, competition and body movement. As well as the physical activities advertised, there will be quieter moments with sand and water play, parachute play, games, songs and story time. Art and Craft activities will ensure that there is plenty to take home.
Children will also have an opportunity to play in the role play area and use the outside climbing frame. They will also have great fun learning how to become a safe driver with Go-Karting one session a week*.

FUN CLUB
For parents who need to arrange care for their children outside of the Holiday Activity Course hours, we are also able to offer Early Drop Off and Late Pick Up sessions, held in Little School.
Early Drop Off and Late Pick Up sessions are a time to relax, play and enjoy being with friends in a caring, stimulating environment.
Fun Club staff escort children to their course venue at the start of the day and pick them up at the end of the day, with children signed in and out of the courses with the course tutors.
The Fun Club team provide a number of resources that cater for the wide age range of children.
Children can relax by reading a book, watching television and using our computers. We also provide construction games, toys & puzzles, imaginative play and art resources. Children will be given the opportunity to play outside using a variety of equipment.
