Why Can’t my four year old attend a holiday camp?
Our holiday camps are Ofsted exempt (exemption 11) camps designed for boys and girls aged 5 – 11 years. We would have to be Ofsted-registered child care to accept 4 year olds, so for this reason we can only accept children who are 5 years or over.

Why aren’t you an Ofsted Registered Holiday Camp?
As with all registrations, they require a lot of time and resources to obtain, and at this point it is not an economical use of our resources. We are a professional Sport Coaching facility, focused around bicycle and swim training. All staff hold qualifications for coaching as well as an enhanced DBS check, paediatric first aid training and undertake continual professional development training as a minimum requirement. Our venue and day-to-day running follow strict health and safety policy, staff training, risk assessments and running procedures. These requirements are checked and followed daily.

We will have a maximum of 20 children per day.
We use the following supervision guidelines of children to instructors from Ofsted as a minimum:
For children under the age of six years the ratio is strictly 1:8.
For children aged 6 – 7 years the ratio is strictly 1:12.
For children aged 8+ years the ratio is 1:16.
