Our Forest School Holiday Clubs

Our popular Ofsted registered holiday club runs at Whistlewood Common near Melbourne in the beautiful South Derbyshire countryside. Aimed at children of school age (5-11) our sessions run on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays  throughout the school holidays.

We are also offering selected dates at Elvaston Castle near Derby. 

Led by qualified Forest School leaders our holiday clubs provide lots of fun to keep children entertained during school holidays.  Activities include shelter building, pond dipping, bug hunting, nature crafts, fire-lighting and much more. Sessions are planned to be child led so we often find ourselves doing something unexpected! We offer two session times to suit the needs of families which are either  9am - 3pm at a cost of £35 per child or 8.30am - 4pm at £46.50. See below for details of our upcoming sessions.

October Half Term 2024 
Whistlewood Common, Melbourne

Monday 28th - Thursday 31st October

Booking multiple children - Please ensure that the number of children is selected on the booking page using the drop down arrow, if only 1 is showing then only one place is available and you will be unable to add siblings later.

Tax Free Childcare / Childcare Vouchers - You can pay with these methods by selecting the "Offline payment" option and transferring your payment immediately. Where payments are not received within 5 days the system will automatically cancel the place so please don't wait!

Extended hours - Please book your place for the core hours (9am - 3pm) on the website first and then contact us to add the extended hours (8,30am - 4pm). We advise doing this immediately as we will staff according to the number of children booked at the beginning and end of the day and can't offer additional hours at the last minute. 

Cancellation Policy - We regret that we are unable to offer refunds after a place has been booked although we will endeavour to offer an alternative date within the same block subject to availability. All amendments to bookings will incur a £5 admin fee including changes to named attendee to cover the time taken to make changes
