Run properly, staffed properly, the detail behind why parents trust us with their kids.
Activities 4 Kids runs multi activity holiday camps across Sussex, built on a simple idea: kids need to move, make things, and be genuinely looked after, all in one place, without parents having to stitch together three different bookings to make a day work.
That's why swimming is built into the day through our partnership with Wet Wet Wet Swim School, rather than left as a separate extra. It's one team, one programme, one place your child needs to be.
Safety isn't a policy document we keep in a drawer. It shapes how every session is staffed and run.
Enhanced DBS checks for every member of staff before they ever work with a child, no exceptions.
Paediatric first aid trained staff present at every session, not just a certificate on file.
Staff to child ratios kept within Ofsted guidance across every age group, every day.
Every swim session led by a qualified instructor from Wet Wet Wet Swim School, never unsupervised.
Every child signed in and out by name, released only to authorised collectors.
A designated safeguarding lead present and reachable throughout every camp day.
A few things every parent needs to know before their child's first day at camp.
Please do not bring your child to camp if they've suffered any infectious illness, flu, diarrhoea or sickness, in the last 48 hours. Attending camp indicates your assurance that your child, and the home they've come from, is free of signs of any infectious illness.
Verrucas and warts are highly contagious, so your child won't be allowed to swim with one unless it's adequately protected. We'd suggest a strong waterproof plaster or a verruca sock.
Activities 4 Kids operates a strict nut free policy. A number of children who attend camp have serious allergies, so we ask that all lunch boxes and snacks are completely nut free.
Prevention is always better than cure. An allergic reaction serious enough to need an EpiPen can lead to shock, leaving a child unwell and exhausted, and can be fatal. Please ask a member of staff for our list of safe and unsafe foods for allergy sufferers, and stick to it when packing lunches and snacks.

We're happy to talk through anything before you book.
