Sidcot Holiday Club joining information
Contact numbers for general enquiries during the Holiday Club are 07849 644236 (Emma Webster, Out of School Care Manager).
Parking
Parking is available in the Junior School car park.
Whilst the School will make all reasonable efforts to protect the property of visitors, please note that those parking private cars within the confines of the School do so at their own risk. The School will not be responsible for any losses or theft from vehicles.
On arrival
Please arrive at Sidcot Junior School from 8.30am for registration. We respectfully ask that children are registered by 9.20am so that activities can begin at 9.30am.
On departure
Children can be picked up from the Junior School at 4pm, 4.30pm or 5.30pm. All children must be picked up by 5.30pm. Drop off and collection is at the Junior School.
What the children need to bring
Food & drink: All children will need to bring two snacks for a morning and afternoon break, a packed lunch and a drink in a refillable bottle.
Packed lunch: Since we do not have a fridge large enough to store all children’s packed lunches, please ensure that your child has an ice block in their bag to keep food chilled.
We respectfully ask that you refrain from giving your child peanut butter sandwiches, pesto, nuts and other snacks that may contain nuts, as we do have children with severe allergies to such foods attending our Holiday Club.
Clothing: We ask that all children bring a waterproof coat and wellington boots and recommend that children wear pumps or trainers during our sessions.
We encourage the children to take part in a wide range of activities which are likely to include the use of paints and glue. Though we take precautions to avoid clothes becoming marked or stained, accidents can still occur. With this in mind we respectfully ask that children do not come wearing their best or favourite clothes.
Swimming: Children in the main Holiday Club aged 5 – 11 years will also require swim wear and a towel, as they will go swimming every day.
All of our swimming sessions are supervised by a qualified lifeguard as well as our own staff.
We positively discourage personal and/or valuable items being brought into the club in order to avoid the possibility of distress caused if other children get hold of a child’s treasured/favourite items. However, we recognise that some children need these items for comfort. In these situations we will encourage them to put their ‘comforter’ in a safe place as soon as they feel ready to do so.
