Dundonald and Dalmilling Summer Holiday Club
We recognise that during school holidays children in our care want to have fun, play with their friends, learn new skills, be creative and active.
We will consult with children and families to create a programme of activities, opportunities and experiences for the summer holidays. We want to find out what children are interested in and what matters to them. Reviewing and reflecting weekly will help us provide activities and opportunities that are relevant and meaningful.
We will still provide a daily routine such as snacks and lunch along with fresh air, outdoor play and experiences in the community.
