After School & Holiday Clubs


Children are cared for by qualified, experienced staff who ensure every child feels included, especially those with additional needs. We also provide healthy snacks and meals, so families can feel confident their child is well looked after.

Fun, Safe & Inclusive Childcare


At Malearn, our after-school and holiday clubs give children the chance to learn, play, and grow in a safe, supportive environment. Each day is filled with exciting opportunities — from sports and outdoor games to arts, drama, and creative activities.


Our holiday clubs go even further, offering special themed workshops and experiences such as:

  • 🦷 Oral health workshops to encourage healthy habits
  • 🥗 Food programmes promoting healthy eating
  • 🚒 Visits from fire officers and community services
  • 🎭 Fun appearances from mascots and entertainers
  • 🎉 Bouncy castle days
  • 🥁 Drumming and music sessions
