Holiday clubs & activities<br />
The run-up to Christmas can be stressful even for the most organised of<br />
us. To prevent complete family melt-down, why not book your child some<br />
time at a holiday club or camp? They can have fun and let off steam whilst<br />
you finish the present shopping, make that important work presentation,<br />
stuff the turkey or even have a nice lunch out with friends! Many childcare<br />
providers close over the festive period but we’ve found some activities that<br />
will be running.<br />
