About our Holiday Club 

Salcey Forest, NN7 2HX

We offer fun, active childcare for children aged 4-14 during the school holidays in the natural environment of Salcey Forest (Northants).

The club runs in every holiday except Christmas and Bank Holidays, it runs 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs), and is delivered by our team of experienced forest school leaders. 

We are also excited to share that we have added a new holiday club at our outdoor centre in Emberton - for dates and more information, click here.

Catering 

The children need to bring their own pack lunch and snacks for throughout the day, however, a hot snack (such as crumpets, vegetarian chilli with nachos, vegetable kebabs, s'mores, cheese fondue, damper bread, muffins, pizza wraps, cheese toasties and soup) along with hot chocolate is provided as part of a lovely activity where children can gather around the campfire to help cook their own snack in the company of the other children and our forest school leaders.

Family Feedback:

"The attention to detail of the activities and food offering is second to none. My children feel safe and included in everything, to a level we’ve never felt at any other club."

"Two of my children are autistic and Forest School is the one place where I’ve never felt judged by the staff or been worried about leaving them there. Gemma and Donna have made a huge effort to communicate with the children and get to know them and enable them to enjoy being at Forest School. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I’ve often felt like Forest School has really been there for us and supported us so so well."

"There is no where our boys would rather be and as parents we always know they will have so much fun, be looked after so well and come home tired and happy, a winning combination!"

Based on the results of our anonymous family feedback survey:

100% would recommend our forest school holiday club to a friend

94.6% were 'very satisfied' with the children's experience, and none were dissatisfied
