Please note that year groups are in relation to state school year groups. Children will be in the year group they are currently in at school.  I'm afraid that we are not able to accept children who have not yet started in Reception.

Children will choose from a variety of activities throughout the day.  Each activity is 45 minutes and children will choose 6 activities a day (for example, the first activity choices for one group could be Art & Craft, Handball or Fencing. Then their second activity choices could be Fun Swimming, Indoor Archery or Balloon Modelling, etc.) 

Please note that activities will vary from day to day and are subject to change.

We will make choosing activities as fair as possible.  

Our Super Choice programme is bookable by the school year group your child is in. Please see the table below for details of which group to book for your child.

TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT, PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU BOOK YOUR CHILD INTO THE CORRECT GROUP. THIS SHOULD BE BASED ON THE SCHOOL YEAR YOUR CHILD IS CURRENTLY IN. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT INCORRECT BOOKINGS WILL NEED TO BE CHANGED AND THE SAME AVAILABILITY CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.

If a course is marked as fully booked, then you are welcome to add your name to the waiting list. Please email G.Thorne@warwickschools.co.uk and we will notify you if a place becomes available.

Led by our experienced Early Years Practitioner, children will experience a number of different exciting activities each day, including:

Art and Craft / Multi-Sport / Indoor and Outdoor play / Bouncy Castle / Kapla & Unu / Mini Basketball / Nature Trails / plus much more! 

Plus, our specialist activities for October will include: Martial Arts / Drama with Lizzie / Young Engineers / Gymnastics / Curious Creatures / Magic with Paul / Jewellery Making!

Please note that activities will be running on specific days only.

Additional services are also available - please see the information in the table below.
