Dundonald Holiday Club
We recognise that during school holidays children in our care want to have fun, play with their friends, learn new skills, be creative and active.
We will consult with children and families to build a programme of activities, opportunities and experiences for children. We want to find out what children are interested in and what matters to them. Reviewing and reflecting regularly will help us provide activities and opportunities that are relevant and meaningful.
We will still provide a daily routine such as snacks and lunch along with fresh air and outdoor play.
How do I book a place at the holiday club?
Places are allocated on a first come first served basis. Please Note: Making an application does not guarantee a place.
