Holiday Childcare and Activities

FREE

For many parents, finding and sustaining paid work is dependent on the availability of good quality, affordable childcare that is accessible at the times when they need it. During the school holidays this can become even more of an issue for families. Having access to suitable provision at these times supports families both in enabling parents to work as well as providing opportunities for children to try new experiences, gain skills and have fun in a safe environment.
