Holiday Club

Not sure what you’re doing for the school holidays? We’ve got you!

Need to keep your young people engaged during school holidays? Our Holiday Club might be just your answer.

Our Juniors Holiday Club is a fully-supervised, action-packed day camp for young people aged 8-12. Our Holiday Club includes early drop-off and free breakfast, lunch and snacks. During the Winter, Easter and Summer school holidays, we also offer free places via the BACE/HAF programme.  It runs on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday and Fridays (except bank/public holidays).

We also run our Limitless Holiday Club for young people with additional needs aged 8-25, plus parents/carers and siblings, on Wednesdays (except bank/public holidays) during the school holidays.

When’s it on

During all school holidays including half-terms. Exact dates for each holiday will be advertised in advance so please check our social media.

 

Juniors Holiday Club – Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays (except bank/public holidays)

Pick-up by 3pm – please do not be late for pick-up

At some Holiday Clubs we offer late pick-up at 6pm for an additional £5 a day, however, please check in advance via Reception if this is available.

How much it costs

Juniors Holiday Club is £10 per day (extra £5 per day for late pick-up – only available on some Holiday Clubs). In the Winter, Easter and Summer school holidays, we have a limited number of HAF/BACE places available. You need to obtain a WONDE code from school and sign up via the Barnet Youth website. Please contact Reception for more information.

Limitless Holiday Club is 50p entry.

What food is provided?

On Juniors Holiday Club, breakfast (cereal, fruit and sometimes toast), a hot lunch and snacks are provided for free. Meat will be halal and there will always be a vegetarian option. Your child may also bring a packed lunch if you wish (but note that Unitas is nut-free).

On Limitless Holiday Club, lunch will be served for £1.

What activities are available

Each day includes a mix of:
Sport (indoors and outside depending on the weather)
Arts, crafts and cooking
Games, challenges, and chill-out time with friends

We also do special events, have dressing-up competitions and sometimes trips – more information will be available for each Holiday Club.

They’ll come home happy, tired and full of stories.

What to send with your child

Just send them in comfortable clothes suitable for physical activity and messy fun, a coat if it’s chilly, and a packed lunch if preferred. No need for gadgets or toys. If they bring spending money,  £1–£2 is plenty (our tuck shop will be open). They can bring a water bottle but please label it because they tend to go missing!

Children with additional needs or medication

Medication must be clearly labelled and handed in at Reception upon arrival. If your child needs a bit of extra support or takes medication during the day, please let us know in advance. We can’t provide 1:1 or personal care, but we’re happy to work with families to make sure your child has a great time. If your child does have additional needs, please do speak to Reception in advance so we can understand how best to support them.

Booking, cancellations and flexibility

We strongly encourage you to book Holiday Club sessions in advance – you can do this online, or with our Reception team in person. We may have some places free to be booked at drop-off on the day but we cannot guarantee this. BACE/HAF places must be booked in advance via the Barnet Youth website - no walk-ins. If you need to cancel a booked place, please let us know as far in advance as possible. We will only refund the day's place if we are told at least 24 hours before.

Our evening and weekend sessions still run as normal during school holidays, so those on Juniors Holiday Club are welcome to come on Wednesdays (4pm-8pm) and Saturday mornings (10am-2pm), and those on Limitless Holiday Club can also attend Sunday 10am-2pm sessions.

We’re happy to help. Call us on 020 8075 5888, pop into Reception, or email enquiries@unitasyouthzone.org
