Stimulating and Loads of Fun!

BBs takes pride in offering a stimulating and fun filled Holiday Programme that caters for the needs, interest and abilities of all primary aged children. We provide age appropriate activities and resources that will allow your child to learn and grow while having loads of fun! In-depth planning and organising for each day is done well in advance. This planning is extremely detailed and ensures that children of all ages will always have a brilliant day at BBs Holiday Programme. You are welcome to view our planning any time. Last holidays the children wanted to stay all day every day!

All primary school aged children are welcome at ANY venue for our Holiday Programmes....you do not need to enrol at the venue at which your child attends school.
