100% recommend

My son has attended this holiday sports club on a few separate days now and absolutely loves it. He’s quite shy, but the staff made him feel so welcome and supported from the very first day. They really couldn’t do enough for him.

It’s been lovely to see his confidence grow already, and he’s always excited to go back next half term. I would 100% recommend this club to any parent looking for a friendly and caring environment for their child.

Always fun

My son thoroughly enjoyed his time ( did 3 days). He came home every day asking when he could go back, he loved it. Venue was good and staff excellent. Been to many holiday clubs and staff are just not interested, not the case here, everyone was great. Thank you and see you in the summer. Oh, forgot to say, great value too, £50 for 3 days, brilliant, please keep it affordable for the future.

Highly recommend

My 4 year old son has been going to the after school sports club and recently attended the 3 day Easter break club and has loved it. Despite being his first time going he has felt very welcomed and included. It’s been a great way for him to burn off some extra energy and improve his social skills. Will definitely continue to send him to more clubs like this.

WIN WIN!

My two girls have been coming here for years, they both love going. They have made new friends, as they've got older they love helping the younger ones. There's always variety in sports to take part in, and the staff are fantastic with our ADHD daughter who suffers with anxiety, and they actually sleep after there sessions at Samba! Win Win!

Samba - 9 yr old & 4 yr old

Both my sons attended this half term with my 4 year old going for the first time. I was a little apprehensive whether or not he would settle and enjoy it due to not having a big interest in sports (or so I thought), my worries were very quickly eased when I mentioned this at drop off and I did not have anything to worry about. They both love it there and can't wait for the next half term so they can go again! I can't thank everyone enough for all the encouragement given to everyone attending.

Fun, friendly and engaging multi sports session for your toddler!

I was looking for a sports session for my 2 year old and couldn’t find one that did a range of sports (most just do football) until I came across sambatots (at Whittington Green school). I signed up for a trial and we had a blast! My 2 year old is quite reserved and I was worried about him joining in but he was engaged from the moment he walked in. It is set up so well and coach Brad, Joe and Ollie are super friendly and fun! They help to engage the children and support them to develop their listening skills. The sessions are well planned and engaging. Lots of creative ideas/themes to get them moving and developing skills for all sports which is what I was searching for. My son has been attending now for a month and we look forward to the sessions and he also asks to play / practise the skills he is taught at home. The coaches strike a good balance of supporting your child to engage and knowing when to push and challenge them so they are deepening their skills. I’ve already seen my son’s gross motor skills improve in the short time we’ve attended.

Another great aspect of the classes are the familiarity of the start / end with songs to get them going and rewards at the end which include a sticker for their reward chart and each session 1/2 children are awarded Mr Macaw (soft plush macaw) to keep for a week in recognition of their hard work - a really great touch!

I would highly recommend Sambatots. It’s a great price, helps to build your child’s gross motor skills, confidence and the coaches are kind, welcoming and above all understanding when the inevitable toddler refusal kicks in! I love that it is low pressure and doesn’t feel in any way judgemental. They have done a great job of creating a positive, inclusive environment for you and your toddler to have a great time each week and it will make them want to come back for more! It is also the only one I have found that focuses on a range sports as well as football.

Thanks Maddie and Jenson
