The King K holiday club day includes a child-lead, multi-choice programme in the morning and the afternoons are spent taking part in 'King Club' and 'Extreme Team'. Both afternoon sessions happen well away from the rest of the activity groups, ensuring our King K's really do feel like they are in their own 'club environment'.

Age Groups
In order for your child to get the most out of their time at KOOSA Kids holiday clubs, they will be grouped based on their school year.
Each age group has its own identity and is allocated coaches who best suit their needs. Suitably qualified staff, including Paediatric First Aiders, are present at the club at all times.
All holiday club activities are delivered in an age appropriate manner with the emphasis on fun for our youngest children and a different focus on development as the children get a little older.
Krazy K’s - EYFS
For our youngest age group, the emphasis is on fun and play in a caring and safe environment. We use small activity areas, simplified rules and adapted equipment, and encourage all our Krazy K’s to develop at their own pace. All Krazy K’s are allocated a Key Person to ensure they feel comfortable and get the most out of their time with us.

My son is not very confident, but the team welcomed him with open arms. He now loves going. He's well looked after and comes home full of smiles. Thank you for making the holidays so enjoyable for us.
Richmond HC Parent, February 2019

FAQ’s
Booking your Holiday Club sessions is very easy! Simply log into your account and follow the easy to navigate bookings steps. If you have not used KOOSA Kids before, you will need to register for an account and provide us with all the relevant information requested. You will only have to do this once.
Alternatively, please call us on 01276 21884 and we will be happy to register your account and take your booking over the phone. You can contact us by phone from 9.30am to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday. Spaces fill up very quickly so it is best to book as soon as you know the dates you need.
Children will be grouped based on their ages. We can therefore unfortunately not guarantee that your child will be in the same group as their friend, even if they are in the same school year.
We know that great staff make for a great holiday club. All of our coaches possess the mixture of experience, skill and personality necessary to get the most from the children, whilst ensuring all the activities are delivered in a safe and organised manner.
All KOOSA Kids coaches are cleared with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and trained in safeguarding and child protection, activity delivery, behaviour management and health & safety. There will always be at least one Paediatric First Aid trained person at each holiday club.
Although there is no legal requirement to ensure staff are qualified, KOOSA Kids believe formal qualifications play an important part in ensuring the care offered is of the highest quality as well as assisting our employees Continued Professional Development.
At each KOOSA Kids club, the Regional Manager will always be qualified to a minimum of Level 3 in Playwork or equivalent. We endeavour to ensure that at least one other member of staff at each club holds a Level 3 in Playwork or equivalent, with the aim for 50% of the remaining staff at each club to be qualified to Level 2 in Playwork or equivalent.
Holiday club sessions can be booked up until 6pm the working day before you need them, subject to availability. Please note that many of our clubs reach capacity, especially during the busy holiday periods, so we do advise customers to book their sessions as soon as they know their childcare requirements, in order to avoid disappointment.
