February, May, and October half terms
-
Easter holidays
-
Four weeks of the summer holidays
-
Selected dates over the Christmas period​
Operating hours are 8:00am – 6:30pm, with breakfast, snacks, and a light cooked lunch included. We ask families to provide a packed tea for later in the day.
​
What Makes Holiday Hedgehogs Special?
​As a Curiosity Approach accredited setting, we focus on child-led learning through open-ended play, meaningful experiences, and an environment that encourages exploration. Every child is encouraged to follow their interests, make independent choices, and build confidence through hands-on discovery.
Each week, we offer a thoughtfully planned programme of activities designed to spark curiosity and inspire imagination. Children can look forward to:
-
Exciting outings: cinema, swimming, and local adventure parks
-
Creative workshops: arts and crafts, cooking, messy play, and sensory exploration
-
Active fun: sports sessions, outdoor adventures, and water games
-
Special guests and events: from Animal Encounters and Circus Skills to Mad Science workshops
Our environment is inclusive, engaging, and designed to feel like a home from home—where every child is valued and celebrated for who they are.
What to Bring
​To help your child enjoy every moment, please send them with:
-
Sun cream and a sun hat (for sunny days)
-
A raincoat or puddle suit (we love outdoor play, rain or shine!)
-
A change of clothes
-
A packed lunch (if staying past 5pm)
