Hi Chris, my son really enjoyed it and had such a wonderful time doing all the activities and meeting new friends, he said the staff were so helpful and friendly and helpful really enjoyed attending and would love to go again.
I thought the staff and the summer camp was wonderful such great fun and convenience for the children, they help facilitate last minute as we had an issue with previous booking, such a wonderful team would definitely recommend, thank you, regards Shelby and Ivan Dawson.
I just wanted to thank you it’s an amazing club. All three of my grandkids absolutely love it.
They all had a great time and It’s such a blessing for me to know not only are they having a great time but also enjoying a healthy lunch.
I don’t know if you are aware, but I am a pensioner raising all three of my grandkids on my own, so it’s not difficult to understand how much I appreciate your club.
Huge thank you and your staff.
Chloe and Erin really enjoyed their time at the camp, they came home with stories and smiles and was always happy to go to the weeks.
Even wanting one week to be changed back onto it.
They loved their time coming to you guys for the days. I’m thankful for these opportunities the girls have had.
My son Seth has been coming for a couple of years and loves each session.
It is very well organised with lots of varied activities and opportunities available for the children to take part in that they may not get chance to if the clubs like this weren’t available.
The food is always nutritional and great selection and again opportunity for the children to take part in make some of it such as pizza and fajitas teaching them valuable life skills along the way.
The staff are all very professional and have a great understanding and interaction with the kids getting involved and having fun
We will deffo continue to book Seth to attend the sessions available and look forward to the next ones
Hi,
I brought my little boy for the first time on Thursday. He was excited to come, but when we arrived, he was very wobbly and didn’t want to go inside. The man taking the register came outside to introduce himself and let George know it would be ok. He got down on his knees to be at eye level and offered to buddy George up with a similar aged child. He took George to a small table he introduced him to some children and explained what would happen in the morning.
I know how busy this time of day can be, and I really appreciated the extra effort. I felt confident that George would be cared for in a thoughtful way. At the end of the day, George had made some new friends and he’d eaten a healthy lunch that he wouldn’t usually try at home. He raved about the activities and unprompted told me how kind all the staff had been to him all day.
What a great opportunity to learn some new social and physical skills. This might not have been possible without the sensitive encouragement given. Thank you for the great day for my little boy!
