Guest Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Hello Everyone, After some advice .... Do you run a holiday club ? We are hoping to start up a holiday club in our Nursery for reception and Nursery aged children and would very much like any tips / advice you can give... for instance Can you let me know the going rate for a session / hourly rate that you charge ..... the sort of activities the children you do. So we can gage whether it will be viable to run one. I look forward to chatting to you all regards Kaz
sunnyday Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Perish the thought I enjoy my summer hols too much for that! Sorry Kaz - that was not in the least bit helpful - good luck with your plans :1b 2
Guest Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 HA ha Sunnyday, I love my holidays too, but I get 8 weeks off over the summer and that gets a little boring ;0)
Greenfinch Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 My advice would be to look at other local providers.You need to be on a par, price wise with others in your area of the country as fees vary so much geographically.
Guest Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 I wonder if you could link up with other local setting hat offer holiday clubs to older children too. So where they don't cover your age range, you could cross promote for those parents who don't know what to do with their younger one. That could also give you a benchmark for charging and hours.
Thumper Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Hello I run a holiday club for one week during the summer holidays - have done for the past 5 years or so. We apply for local grants - which we have always got luckly. The cost to parents was 12.50 per day last year The session is 4 hours long. However the cost will go up this year to 5.00 per hour as its become so popular I'm needing more staff to enable it to run. Let me know if you require any further info ?
Thumper Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 Sorry to answer the part about activities - we do more relaxed activities than when we are at pre school. We have found over the years that the children who attend are really only wanting to play with their friends that they've missed over the holidays. Due to this we have a few fun activities - plate decorating, cooking, face painting, making picture frames, to name but a few. We also have out the regulars - sandpit, water, slide, puzzles, play dough etc. We are lucky that sch also have a holiday club that runs at the same time so we join in with them on set days, whilst there we play music with the steel band, participate in magic shows etc.
