Girton holiday playscheme summer 2021
Here are the details for the Girton summer holiday playscheme. Book sessions using the form below.
Child led play and PARS- Please note that all our activities are optional to the children. At no point will we make children take part in our activities. Children that do take part in our activities are free to change, adapt or stop at any point during the activity. With “riskier” activities, such as tool use and fire use activities, discussions would be had with the children in adapting or changing these.
Messy and water play
During our holiday club, the children will take part in activities that may get their clothes wet or messy and may become spoiled. We strongly advise children are sent in old clothes. We will not discourage children to take part in these activities while they attend our setting.
Suitable clothing and footwear
Children will take part in a high level of physical activities while attending our play schemes. We advise children wear comfortable clothes i.e., tracksuit bottoms, T-Shirt, jumper, and coat. We also strongly advise that sensible footwear is worn i.e., trainers. A high volume of injuries from previous play schemes are a result of bad footwear.
We also will use the outside area in all weather conditions, so we strongly advise that children are sent with warm clothing in winter and suitable clothing in summer.
Swim wear
During the summer play scheme we take part in water activities so please send children in with Swim wear, wet shoes and a towel and a change of clothes.
