Unique HAF Code Provided by Hampshire County Council - Register Today
In a change to the normal approach, for this summer Hampshire County Council requires all children accessing benefit-related free school meal (FSM) support to be registered with the council ahead of booking and attending the Holiday Activities and Food Programme.
By registering you will receive a unique code that can be used to book places for the Holiday Activities and Food Programme.
The process is quick and easy. Simply complete the online form, adding basic details about your child and yourself and then add a contact email address.
You will then receive confirmation of your eligibility for the programme, and a unique registration code to use when booking, if eligible.
Please note, HAF sessions this summer can only be confirmed by providing this unique code to KOOSA Kids (or other poviders). We would therefore advise you to complete the online form as soon as possible to ensure you are able to secure your Summer HAF sessions when bookings open after May Half Term.
Visit our Richmond or Surrey Holiday Activities & Food pages for more information on our HAF programmes for both areas.

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'.

Children can choose from a host of activities, including House of Fun, Elves, Wizards & Giants, Capture the Flag, Escape Rooms and Everybody's It.
On Wednesdays throughout the Summer our normal holiday club programme is put on hold, with the afternoon devoted to games and activities based on one of our Wicked Wednesday Special Activity themes.

KOOSA Karting Our most popular activity now has its very own Wicked Wednesday!

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.
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.
