Creative Kids Holiday Arts Club brings children together for hands-on creative adventures every school holiday! Young people explore a vibrant mix of arts activities — from drama, dance, puppetry, film and photography to music, storytelling, craft, and painting. Visiting artists lead workshops that spark imagination and confidence, while our blend of traditional and digital arts helps each child record and share their creative journey through digital portfolios. Every holiday ends with a joyful celebration of creativity, and many participants showcase their work in our public exhibitions.
Our club is open, friendly, and full of creative energy! Children make friends easily, try new things, and develop new skills in a supportive, fun environment. Annual membership is £15 per child, giving families access to all our arts programmes and events. Weekly planners showing daily workshops are shared three weeks in advance on our social media and by direct email to families.
We’re committed to making creativity accessible to everyone. A number of funded and supported places are offered each day, which include a nutritious meal and full access to all workshops. These are supported through the Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) Programme and local partnerships. Creative Kids is listed on the Voluntary Ofsted Register EY496668, and parents using Working Tax Credits or Universal Credit can usually claim up to 75% of childcare costs via HMRC.
If you wish to pay using Childcare Vouchers, please apply at least two weeks before the start of Holiday Club so we can process your details at Head Office. To register, simply email us with the name of your Childcare Voucher Scheme, your child’s name, and the dates you wish to book. We currently accept vouchers from Government Childcare Choices, Computershare, Edenred, Kiddivouchers, Sodexo/Pluxee, and Care 4.
Free School Meals & Supported Access
We work closely with BCP Council and local partners to provide funded places under the HAF (Holiday Activities & Food) Programme. These include breakfast or a healthy hot lunch. To apply, simply TEXT your child’s full name, date of birth, and postcode with the heading “HAF Apply” to 07932 772 905. Once we’ve confirmed eligibility, we’ll invite you to complete registration online. Funded places also include full membership at no cost to families.
Accessibility and Support
We celebrate diversity and inclusion and want every child to feel they belong. Our setting is suitable for children with mild to moderate additional needs who can enjoy activities with appropriate supervision. SEN needs can be discussed and supported by arrangement to ensure every young person has the best possible experience. Every child’s wellbeing and creative voice are at the centre of what we do.
Booking & Availability
Places are limited and fill up quickly — especially funded spaces! Please check availability before booking by calling, emailing, or texting our team. Membership fees are non-refundable, but we’ll always do our best to help you find the right sessions for your child. Further information can be found in our Policies and Procedures.
