We are Amanda and Dominic Bailey, primary school teachers, with 15 years experience who "strive for excellence" (Ofsted, 2023). Together with our "highly skilled" staff, we provide a weekly holiday club set in the beautiful grounds of Westbourne House school, near Chichester. Recently welcoming an Ofsted inspection, we encourage you to read our glowing report (December, 2023) which you can download below.

​

Personal and nurturing, we "deliver a broad range of exciting opportunities" (Ofsted) for children from Nursery to Year 6 with a happy and relaxed atmosphere. With full use of the school's incredible facilities and grounds, there are a variety of activities available including art, craft, sports, music, dance, swimming, biking, kayaking, construction, forest play, story times and free flowing indoor and outdoor play.

​

The sessions run from 9.00am – 3.00pm (with an additional hour to 4pm should you need). Please see our 'Bookings' section for available dates and to reserve a place. 

​

Staff ratios and experience: We always meet or often better the recommended adult/ child ratios for the different age groups. The majority of our staff are either teachers or TAs with extensive experience working with children and appropriate training including paediatric first aid.

 

Community: We are always looking to involve parents and the local community. We currently have a local yoga specialist, forest school company, and a biking and climbing specialist all excited to contribute to the buzzing atmosphere. If you have any suggestions or ways to get involved do let us know using the contact form.

 

What does my child need to bring? A packed lunch, drink and appropriate clothing depending on the weather (sun cream/ water proofs). Further details are sent separately. For further information regarding our 'Early Years' provision please see our policy below.
