Perhaps we should publish timetables of our activites, but there is a good reason we dont do that! All children enjoy doing different things, and we get that! We have thousands of activities that we run through, all varying tailored on the groups age, interests and group size. We could plan every activity by the minute, but if the children dont want to do it.. what's the point? We encourage the children to tell us what they want to do, and there is always more than one activity taking place to ensure everyone is having their best day. We structure our days and always have something planned for the children to do, but be aware this may change. In usual times, we have a special activity taking place which could be zorbing, mini golf, archery, lego building, boxing, basketball arcade or tumble track fun. These activites rotate around our venues and you can view when they are next at your club by viewing your clubs activity calendar. We hope to bring back our special activities in 2021. If your child would prefer to read in the quiet room, or draw you a picture, we love seeing the children doing something they love and always offer alternative choices to the main activity.
