Cheadle club - the kids love coming here. When we booked over Easter it did seem quite disorganised, but summer has gone really well so far 🙂

The kids attended for 2 days and complained that they were bored. They usually really enjoy this HAF camp and attend every holiday available, but this time around they have asked if they can not attend which is disappointing.

Hi Megan

We truly value your feedback and will be sharing your comments with the team so we can understand what may have been different this time and continue improving the experience for all children.
We hope this was just a one-off experience, and we'd love the opportunity to welcome them back in the future and provide the fun, engaging holiday camp they've come to expect from us. Thank you again for letting us know.

Such a disappointment

Online it said children would be doing Easter egg hunts, crafts, baking, outdoor activities etc none of the sort was done, literally for the 3 sessions my daughter attended (as she did not want to attend the rest) all she did was colour in all day, being a very active 12 year old, this was so under stimulating for her, on the last day she got so overwhelmed by it they had to phone me to come pick her up and I never took her back, I thought maybe it would get better but it just didn’t, the staff were very friendly apart from one incident where another child stole my daughters snacks and left my daughter with nothing for the rest of the day and didn’t do anything about it, but that aside she really seemed to like them, I won’t be taking my child here again and I definitely wouldn’t recommend any else to bring there’s here either

Koala club fantastic!

We were fortunate to hear about this club but not previous years , and my boys have enjoyed it so much they kept asking when they were going! They loved how they were able to take part in swimming the most but enjoyed the sports and loved bringing home there made crafts and art each session! Its is a brilliant club for those who worry about child care when still needing to go to work or just needing a break , cant thank the staff enough they have made the holidays well worth and fun for the kids!

I enrolled both of my children in the Koala Holiday Club, and they had a fantastic time. They especially loved the swimming sessions, outdoor activities, indoor games, and soft play. There was always something fun and engaging for them to do. The club offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to other parents.

Do Not Work For Them.

I Worked for them over Christmas everything was fine until pay day.

It's been nearly 2 weeks since I was supposed to be paid they haven't paid me despite emailing them asking about My pay I have since been ignored and I know this because I've got people to email them and they have replied to them but ignored me but I am taking further action to now ensure I get my money which is disgusting really.

As a young person and someone who is already low on money feel like I've been scammed it took me ages to travel to the venue and cost me loads of money everyday and it's disgusting really that they won't pay me after being promised in the contract.
Stay far away don't work for them loads of reviews saying they haven't been paid either disgusting that they're allowed to get away with this as long as they have.

Worked for them once never again

Loved working with the children it was great and we had a great time.

However the work environment there is literally no time to take a break ever. The facilities too small not suitable for children tbh. Management is awful
The Pay is never ontime or they dont pay properly
Just don't work for them they're awful.

These people refused to give refund for…

These people refused to give refund for October 2025 holidays. They said I should send email which has been ignored. Followed up and they still ignored. The neil mail address doesn't respond. Don't ever expect customer service from them. They don't respond. I'd you don't have need customer service help, then it may be good. I probably will take this in with my bank.

Update: so I emailed the email address they shared here, and no response at all. They say I cancelled, yet I did not... They refused to offer my daughter the service! This is a holiday club, what peak period are they talking about now that there's no holiday?
I suppose I will take it with my bank and complain there. So frustrating that there's completely no customer support. Had to take me writing this review to get their attention. If you know you will need customer support in any way, don't book them. All they do is take the cash and no care at all after. Or pray after you book, you would not need them.

Dear Yvonne,

Thank you for your message. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been disappointed with your recent experience.

After reviewing your booking, I can confirm that unfortunately, a refund was not eligible in this case, as the cancellation fell outside of our refund policy terms for the October 2025 holiday period. We completely understand this can be frustrating, but we do have to apply our cancellation policy consistently to all bookings to ensure fairness.

We always aim to respond to all emails as quickly as possible, though at peak periods this can sometimes take longer than usual. I’m sorry if you felt your follow-up messages were not acknowledged in a timely manner.

If you would like us to recheck the details of your booking, please email us at koalaklubs@koalaklubs.net, and we will be happy to review the case again.

Kind regards,
Neil Vanderwalt

I would not recommend Koala Club Towcester. Several of the sessions over summer camp I booked were cancelled, and despite repeated attempts, I never received a refund. I have sent multiple emails and tried calling numerous times, but all have been ignored. Very poor service and a complete lack of communication.

If I could give 0 star I really would.

If I could give 0 star I really would.

I paid for my son to attend this club and wish I didnt bother. Upon arrival for his first day, it was immediately apparent that none of the staff were aware of my sons additional needs or the support he would require — despite this being clearly communicated when I registered him. I personally reiterated this information to staff upon drop-off. However, despite this, no assistance was given when he needed it before or after his swimming session. It was only by chance that his aunt, who was present at the time, stepped in to help him. This incident also raised a safeguarding concern, as staff were unaware of her relationship to him or who she was in general meaning an unknown adult was effectively allowed to assist my child without verification or permission.

Despite our concerns, we decided to give the club another opportunity in the hope that the situation would improve. Once again, I reminded staff of my son's specific needs and emphasized that he should not be pressured into activities he was uncomfortable with.

Unfortunately, further issues arose. On the second day, an employee escorting children to the soft play area failed to ensure the group stayed together. Rather than waiting at the bottom of the stairs for the children to catch up, the staff member walked ahead, which is deeply concerning given the proximity of the exit. This posed a serious safety risk, as a child could easily have left the premises unnoticed. I reported this incident to the woman managing registration, who assured me it would be addressed.

Finally, I was informed that my sons water bottle had remained empty from lunchtime until I collected him at 4 p.m. Despite him asking multiple times for water, he was repeatedly told to wait, and his bottle was never refilled. The lack of basic care was unacceptable.
I removed my child from the camp after two days, contacted the man Neil who was running the Erith and Sidcup club we agreed on a refund baring the 2 days my son attended however since then I have NOT received a refund and am now continuing to be ignored by Neil
