I find this service invaluable - particularly around school holidays when occasionally my children's grandparents are not able to help at short notice - it removes a lot of the stress around childcare and means I can focus on my work knowing unplanned childcare hiccups can be simply resolved.

The school was originally not signed up for this scheme, but with your help we got them on the list very quickly. Thank you!
Investment bank employee and mother
All four children had a good week at Active Kids. The staff there were very friendly and they all enjoyed the activities on offer. I would definitely use this again.
 
 

School Holiday Cover

 
 
 

If your childcare breaking down 9 times a year* isn't stressful enough, what about the 13 weeks of school holidays a year?

 
 
 

Having a plan for the holidays and a reliable backup provides peace of mind for parents of school aged children. Their employers enjoy focused and engaged employees throughout the school year.

Holiday clubs and camps

School Holiday Cover allows parents of older children the option of booking clubs and camps throughout the UK. It's a great alternative to a nanny or childminder, and can be used as a backup or as a planned solution.

How can School Holiday Cover help?

Parents can search for and book Holiday Clubs and Summer Camps. Our booking success rate is 98% and the service can be used:

  • Online 24/7
  • Phone from 7.30am
  • With as little as 30 minutes' notice, or
  • Up to 3 months in advance.


We have a large network of holiday clubs, and created the service with the best advice from Ofsted and BAHA (British Activity Holiday Association).

Our team actively encourages parents to recommend their preferred local clubs, so that their choice can be booked for the school holidays.

A complete solution

The inclusion of School Holiday Cover in Backup Care means employers are offering a more complete solution. It means that employees with school age children have a broader choice of care options.

Reducing absenteeism in school holidays

As most employers know, school holidays (which collectively can amount to up to a third of a year!) can cause real headaches, stress and time off work for their employees, when planned care doesn't work out or when there are 'care gaps'.

 

The right solution for older children

School holidays are fraught with difficulties for those with school age children. School Holiday Cover provides an appropriate solution for older children when planned care doesn't go according to plan.

Fun activities, not just 'care'

For older children, being able to spend the day in a supervised holiday club means they have fun whilst their parents are at work. And as most parents will agree, happy children = happy parents!
