Ashlands Primary School

"Every child has the right to shine"

Early Years Holiday Club for Nursery, Reception and Year 1.

At Ashlands Early Years Holiday Club children have fun taking part in a wide range of activities that change throughout the year. They get messy creating seasonally themed arts and crafts, they bake, they listen to stories and enjoy making music and singing.

The children are encouraged to play outside whatever the weather and in the warmer months they are able to use the field for play, outdoor learning and picnics. We have a wonderful outdoor classroom and garden where the children get involved in planting fruit and vegetables, pond dipping and spotting our regular bird, insect and butterfly visitors. We even have our very own beehives!
