Holiday Playscheme at Hampden Park Sports Centre

Ofsted

Our Holiday Rec Sessions offer you the chance to leave your children in a fun, safe and friendly environment at a very reasonable price.

Ofsted

The Rec Sessions are Ofsted registered and are inspected by Ofsted to help improve our standards and provide the best care possible for your children. The last inspection was 22nd August 2005 when we received a good report improving on previous inspections. Our report can be found on Ofsted's website.

When Does It Run?

Our Rec Sessions run every school holiday including the christmas holidays but excluding bank holidays.

The sessions start at 9:30am and run until 12:30pm Monday - Friday.

Who Will Be Supervising Your Children?

All our staff are experienced in working with children whether through working in nurseries, as trainee teachers or sports leaders. All are Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked and cleared before working with the children. A number of our staff are first aid trained and there will always be at least one member of staff first aid trained on site.

How Does The Playscheme Work?

We separate the children into two age groups for their safety and the maximum enjoyment. We have:

Unders 8's - 4 ½ -7 year olds   

Over 8's - 8-12 year olds

What Range Of Activities Do We Run?

We include the following fun activities for your children to take part in:

  • Bouncy castle

  • A range of sports

  • Arts and crafts

  • Fun and games 

  • Themed weeks

  • Food making

  • End of Summer and Christmas parties

Healthy Eating

With healthy eating being an important aspect of your children's development our Rec Sessions encourages healthy eating for all the children. Over the last year we have made the following changes to encourage healthy eating:

  • Reduced the choice of tuck

  • Added healthier options to our vending machines

  • Themed food tasting weeks to encourage healthy eating

How Much Will It Cost?

We charge only £4.00 for our morning sessions and if they are staying for the afternoon activities we will look after your child for an additional £1 charge while they are eating their packed lunch.

How To Book Your Children Into A Session

Due to the limited spaces available for our Rec Sessions we recommend children are booked in as early as possible.

When booking your children in for the first time you must complete registration forms which must be updated yearly, usually at the start of every summer holiday.

We also have an attachment to this page that allows the parent/guardian to fill forms out and send to us by email or address. This is just another small way to help existing and new customers book their children into our sessions as early as possible
