Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. There is a section on the registration form to complete. If
a child has an allergy we ask the school to provide food which is
suitable. We also have a list of children with allergies displayed
in the kitchen for all staff to check.
Do you go on trips?
Yes. In most holiday club periods we run optional trips these
are charged for separately. In the summer we also run a large trip
to Camelot, Kidzone is closed on this day to anyone not attending
the trip.
Do you have any problems between the younger and older
children?
No. Some older children like to be with the younger children and
vice versa. Any that prefer to be with their own age find a
suitable room.
Do you provide food?
Yes. For breakfast there is a choice of cereal or toast. Lunch
is provided by the school, there is a choice of hot or cold meals.
A snack is provided in the afternoon the children can choose from
healthy options such as cereal bars, yogurts and cheese and
biscuits, there are also unlimited fruit, crudities and dips. Drink
options are Milk, fruit juice, cordial or water.
Do you separate the children by age?
No. Due to each room having a different purpose the children
find their own natural balance of where they want to be such as
younger children in the role play and construction room and the
older children in the computer suite and games room.
Have you been inspected?
Yes. Our last inspection was undertaken by Ofsted in October
2006 we were given the overall grade of good. A copy of the report
can be found on the notice board in the cloakroom in the Kidzone
building. Future inspections will be carried out by the Independent
Schools Inspectorate alongside Bolton School Girls Division.
How do I book?
A calendar is sent out in advance asking you to tick the days
which you require for the following term, once this is returned to
the office a confirmation of the dates will be returned to you.
Additional bookings can be made via email, telephone or post.
How many children are you allowed in the building?
We are registered to receive 80 children at one time.
What activities do you provide?
In the holiday club we have one art/activity and game in the
morning and afternoon of each day. The children are asked if they
would like to join in the staffs activities or continue free play.
During the holidays we make full use of the schools facilities,
sports hall, swimming pool, tennis courts, gym and the fields. In
holiday club we have themes and topics and base the activities
around them.
What if I cancel a place?

must be made 3 full working days beforehand, failure to do so will
incur payment in full. Fees will not be waived through absence or
sickness.
