Sparkles Holiday Clubs
Building Confidence Through Creativity
Sparkles Holiday Club
A fun, inclusive holiday experience for children aged 4 to 12 years.
At Sparkles, we do things a little differently. Our Holiday Club isn’t just about keeping children busy - it’s about building confidence, encouraging creativity and giving them a space where they can truly be themselves.
Each day is filled with a mix of creative activities, games, arts and crafts, music, movement and free play; with opportunities for older children to take on “Young Helper” roles and develop valuable life skills.
Our supportive, experienced team creates a calm and welcoming environment where every child feels valued, understood and encouraged.
With flexible sessions, extended hours available and sibling and block booking discounts, Sparkles Holiday Club is designed to support both children and families.
Spaces are limited and fill quickly - book early to secure your place.
