Extratime holiday activities provide a diverse and stimulating variety of play and leisure opportunities for 4 - 19 year olds. We have play schemes open in the Easter and summer holidays and youth schemes open every holiday except for Christmas. All schemes are held in safe environments within schools and youth centres and run from 8.45am to 5.30pm (times vary at each venue).
All children and young people can access a wide range of play and leisure activities meeting the needs of individuals however complex.
Our ethos is that we will try anything once, as long as it is safe and fun for those involved. Due to the varying needs of the individuals that attend our schemes, we ensure that the activities we offer challenge individuals creativity, intellect, and social aspects of their personality, and in turn increase their self esteem and widen their peer group.
We have an experienced staff team working at each venue and we provide comprehensive training and support for them. They are enabled to work with a variety of needs and support children and young people on high ratios such as 2:1, 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 where necessary. Each child or young person will receive the appropriate ratio and level of support in order for them to access all the opportunities on offer.
We do offer trips off site on occasions but these are subject to funding. For the play schemes we have visited farms and gone to soft play centres, and with youth we have gone on boat trips and visited the local fire station, just to name a few!

We can provide a healthy snack in the morning and afternoon but if your child has specific dietary needs then please provide their own snacks. You will need to provide your child with a packed lunch and drink, although there will be water and juice available throughout the day.
Please do not send nut products into the venue due to allergies.
