My 5 year old boy attended the Woodbridge camp this summer. The staff were fantastic, so professional, caring and fun. The activities were varied and exciting. He always came out smiling having tried new things and making new friends. Thank you so much, we’ll be back!

This was my sons first schools out activity. He is 5 years old and was a bit nervous when we first walked in, but the teachers could see this and made a fuss of him distracting him. When I collected him at the end of the day he had enjoyed himself so much. Enjoying activities such as baking. We will be booking in for many more school holiday activity days.

Hi Michelle, this is great to hear. It is so important to make any newcomer to camp feel welcome. We hope he continues to come and forms long-lasting friendships with others that attend. We have seen so many children create strong friendship bonds during our activity camps over the years, it is very rewarding!

This is great feedback, and I shall make sure to pass this on to Miss White, our camp manager at our Colchester venue. She does create a real positive vibe at camp for all the children and staff!

Fantastic holiday club

My daughter has been attending the Woodbridge Schools Out club for the last couple of years. She always comes out buzzing and tells me all about the fun things she has done there and always asks when she can next return!
My little boy, who can be shy and nervous in new places, tried a day at Easter and absolutely loved it too!
The booking process is easy and I have found the staff to be very flexible when needs be.

Fantastic kids club

Fantastic kids club. My 6 year old twins loved it and I have booked again for May half term. The staff are great - very enthusiastic and great with all the kids. My twins are very challenging and have ADHD and the staff knew just how to work with them. I couldn’t recommend the club highly enough.

We wouldnt go anywhere else now

My daughter has attended schools out activities for 2years now, and absolutely loves it! Every day they have organised, fun activities and she gets to swim each morning in a heated pool. Each week is a different theme, which is great & they practise & hold a show for parents on the last afternoon. We wouldnt go anywhere else now.

Best organised and most cost-effective option :)

This is the second complete year my children have been attending. By far the most cost-effective option for school holiday care and by far the best organised. My children look forward to going each day. The staff are fantastic and can't do enough to help. Getting to/from the venue is easy with plenty of parking and signage. No hesitation about recommending School's Out to anyone.

This is great to hear that some of the softer touches we do in our prep and set-up such as the directional signs and flags are appreciated by our customers! We will continue to invest in our range of activities and booking system whilst keeping our services as cost-effective for parents!

We’ve tried nearly all the holiday clubs around Ipswich and this is by far the best in every way. Great staff, venues and activities. My children ask for Schools Out all the time! And the varied groups means that although my two are of similar age, they can do completely different things. My daughter loves creative crew and my son adrenaline adventure. My son also has numerous serious allergies and has always been entirely safe there. Would 100% recommend

This is fantastic feedback and great to hear how we compare to other providers as although we are confident in our levels of service, we never really know what other providers are like!

Teens too!

Our son has been in various school camps since the age of 7 and at 13 now the School's Out options continue to work for him and us.
He's currently in Y8 and the Next Generation course is great - he loves being part of the coaching team - refereeing and organising the younger ones. He's learning new skills whilst I know he's safe and happy. Win win.

The flexible early and late hours in fab locations are great for working parents too and I find the website and booking process easy to use. They've taken a great concept and make it work in this region.

This great to hear, and particular pleasing how your son has progressed through our day camps to be a thoroughly proactive and helpful assistant. The aim would be he one day returns as a members of staff once old enough!

OUTSTANDING - THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT!

I have used many different holiday camps over the years and can honestly say that School's Out Activities stands head and shoulders above all the others.

The enthusiasm of the leadership team is second to none. I love the fact that the teenagers are able to progress to being young leaders which is such an amazing developmental opportunity.

The range of activities is outstanding and to be able to put on the amazing end of week performance week after week is incredible.

My daughter looks forward to each and every day that she goes. School's Out Activities is genuinely a life saver for working parents - keep up the excellent work. Thank you

My 2 children absolutely love coming to school’s out! Every half term and holiday we make sure to book their space, there are different experiences(groups) depending on the child’s preference eg sports or arts and craft ...etc.. For us no matter which experience they’re trying they still have loads of fun every time, also they get to swim every day which contributes to them having good time . I find prices very moderate especially with the option of guaranteed money return in case of non-attendance on the day.
Finally staff are very smiley and friendly and kids like them.

Happy boy = happy parents!

My son absolutely loves it! I needn’t have worried. He keeps wanting to go back. He doesn’t want to go anywhere else. He loves the variety of activities and is keen for them to do a sleep over camp 😜
