The topics for each school holiday can be found on the booking form posted on this website before each holiday. For further information please contact Emma Longstaff. If your child has any suggestions for activities please let us know & we will incorporate them where possible

If your child has suffered sickness, diarrhoea or a fever, please do not bring them to Brambles for at least 48 hours. We run the same infection control policy as Thorns.

Daily Routine

The holiday club opens its doors at 8.00am to welcome children and parents. We have a wide range of activities for the children to enjoy every day including art and craft, games, puzzles, role play, television, computers, a Nintendo Wii and an adult directed activity. We also have a quiet area.
We have snack at 10.00am which we provide. After snack-time we go outside on the play ground and enjoy a range of activities including tennis, football, skipping ropes, hoops, large jenga, bowling, and a parachute.

We have an adult directed activity at 11.00am which is optional for the children. At 12.00 noon we have lunch which we ask parents to provide. After lunch we go outside to play again (weather permitting).

At 2.00pm we have a different adult led activity, as well as free choice of our activities and games.

At 3.30pm we have an afternoon snack which we ask the parent to provide. After snack-time the children are again free to choose what they want to do.

At 5.30pm we ask all the children to start to help tidy up any activities that are not being played with.

Please note that we do limit use of the computers and Wii.
