Summer Holiday Club

Give your little one a summer they’ll love — and the childcare you can count on.

This August, Blossom Tree opens its doors for four weeks of summer holiday care. Led by familiar, trusted faces in a setting your child already knows and loves, our Summer Holiday Club offers a safe, nurturing, and fun-filled environment for children aged 2 to 5 years across the summer break.

Guided by our warm and supportive team, we create a safe, engaging space where each child can explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace through our nature-based, Waldorf-inspired approach.

👤 Who Is It For?

What to Bring

To make sure your child has the best day every day, please send them with the following. Children spend significant time outdoors in all weather, so appropriate clothing is essential.

👕 Clothing

  • Waterproof jacket and trousers
  • Wellies or closed-toe shoes (no laces)
  • Rubber-soled slippers (indoor shoes)
  • Sun hat (for sunny days)
  • Wind hat (for cooler days)
  • Light, long-sleeved top and trousers
  • Two full changes of clothes (in case of wet or messy play)

Please label all of your child’s clothing and belongings.

🍕 Food & Drink

Please bring a healthy, nutritious packed lunch each day. Lunches should be in an insulated bag with a cooling method (e.g. ice pack).

We recommend something substantial and filling — like a sandwich, wrap or pasta — with a small homemade treat.

Chocolate, sweets and highly sugary foods are not acceptable and will be returned home. A £3.00 fee applies for provision of a healthy alternative if needed.

We will keep you updated of any allergies that may affect the foods you provide.

🎁 Other Essentials

  • Spare clothes in a named bag
  • Any comfort items needed for rest time

👶 If still in nappies:

  • Nappies

Important Information

🏥 Health & Illness

To ensure the health and wellbeing of all our children, families and staff, please keep your child at home until:

  • A minimum of 48 hours after the last episode of sickness or diarrhoea
  • Fever-free for 24 hours without medication
  • Free from contagious symptoms (e.g. chickenpox, conjunctivitis)

Staff are trained in the administration of medication and hold paediatric first aid certificates. We can administer prescribed medication with written parental consent.

🚗 Collection

Parents are required to notify staff of any delays to collecting. Repeated failure to notify or collect on time will result in a penalty fee of £5.00 per 5 minutes late (rounded up).

If another adult is collecting your child, you must notify us in advance with their full name and a password of your choosing. On collection, they will need to bring matching ID and provide the password.

👴 Self-care & Toileting

Children should have begun engaging in basic self-care before attending, including changing footwear, removing waterproofs, and washing hands independently.

We will support children who are still toilet training. Potties, steps and toilet seats are available to promote independence.
