Ashbridge Independent School offers holiday care to all children of primary school age, whether they attend Ashbridge School or other schools in the surrounding areas.
Open from 7am to 6pm during all Ashbridge School holidays, excluding Bank Holidays, Holiday Care is a convenient and affordable childcare solution for working families. Holiday Care attendees receive fruit for a morning snack, a nutritious hot-cooked lunch, and sandwiches and fruit in the afternoon.
Our Holiday Care Coordinator plans activities based on different themes to ensure all children are enriched and entertained with a wide range of activities. Children make fantastic use of our school facilities, our unrivalled outdoor learning environments, including our large all-weather sports pitch, kitchen garden, and woodland areas for games, gardening, and Forest School activities.
Situated in The Clockhouse, Holiday Care attendees benefit from a variety of activities to suit all primary school ages, from construction toys to craft materials and baking ovens to building blocks. This purpose-built space has been designed to provide children with a relaxing and comfortable environment. All attendees are welcome to bring bikes or scooters to use on our extensive grounds.

We aim to make Holiday Care feel like a ‘home from home’ and offer a wide range of activities in a relaxed and friendly environment. Children spend a significant amount of time outdoors, exploring the grounds, playing on the adventure playgrounds, visiting our onsite animals and Forest School, gardening, and enjoying sports on the pitch. In addition, we welcome external providers to offer activities such as Ju-Jitsu, drumming workshops, drama, and yoga.
Your child can come to Holiday Care in comfy clothes and trainers. All we ask is that they have outdoor clothes suitable to the weather, be that a raincoat or a sun hat! It’s a good idea to bring a water bottle, but we provide all meals so no food should be brought in. For Forest School days we ask for children to bring full waterproofs, a change of clothes and wellies. Electronic devices and mobile phones should not be brought to Holiday Care; it’s a chance for children to play and enjoy the outdoors without screens!
Children must have started primary school, either at Ashbridge or another local school. This means they can attend from October half-term in Reception class. Children can continue attending Holiday Care until the end of the summer holidays when they leave Year 6. If your child has additional needs, we would meet with parents first to ensure we can meet a child’s needs within our staffing, before offering a place.
