Vacation care

 

How it works

Our vacation care program provides everything we do at before and after school care, with some extra fun for the holidays.

Vacation care program

We aim to release the vacation care program 3-4 weeks before the school holidays. Parents will be notified by email and via Xplor (our booking App) when vacation care is open for booking. The program will also be published on our website.
