Covid-Secure Protective Measures

In line with Government guidelines, and to reduce the risk of Covid-19 spreading, we have implemented stringent protective measures, including looking after your children in small ‘bubbles’ and enhanced cleaning protocols, to name a few. 

We are pleased to share that, having used these measures for nearly 6 months now, they have proven to be efficacious and practical. We are proud to provide a safe, secure & FUN environment for the children in our care, especially during these challenging times.

“A huge thank you for looking after my boys. I’m always apprehensive finding new holiday clubs for them. The whole process of booking, the communication I received was excellent.

I was so impressed with the procedures put into place following Covid19 & from the moment I dropped them off, I could sense they were in good hands. The drop off / collection process was superb. Most importantly, when I picked them up, they were happy & had had a great day. I will definitely be using KOOSA Kids holiday club again.”

Summer Holiday Club Parent, August 2020

Whilst we are sadly unable to offer our usual holiday club programme this Christmas, your children can look forward to four days full of Christmas cheer & FUN. Reindeers, Elves and even Santa might make an appearance as part of our games & activities!

Bookings for our Christmas Holiday Clubs are now OPEN & spaces are limited:

• Bookings can be made for single or multiple days. Our standard day runs from 10:00am to 4:00pm, with AM & PM extensions available to cover a full day from 8:15am to 6:00pm
• Our Christmas Holiday Clubs will run in a similar way to Summer and October Half Term, with a reduced programme of activity and equipment
• Our clubs will operate in a ‘Covid Secure’ way with greatly enhanced hygiene & cleaning routines
• Children will be grouped into ‘bubbles’ and those bubbles will not mix throughout the day. Please note we cannot guarantee friends will be in the same bubble, even if they are the same age.
• Government advice is to consider sending your child to the same, local setting consistently, in order to prevent your child from mixing with multiple different groups of children
• Capacities will be reduced from normal levels. We would advise you to book your sessions as soon as you know which dates you require to avoid disappointment

Staggered Drop off & Pick Up

Staggered drop off and pick up times will be in place to reduce crowds, limit contact & to ensure maximum activity time is on offer for your children to have FUN. We kindly ask you to respect the timings below and not to drop off or collect your children outside of these time frames as Site Supervisors will not be able to accommodate this. Registration at each specific time will be open for 10 minutes or until everyone in the queue has been signed in. 

Morning Registration - please only drop off at one of the following times:

• AM Extension: Drop Off at 8:15am OR 9:00am OR 10:00am
• Standard Day: Drop Off at 10:00am

Afternoon Pick Up - please only collect at one of the following times:

• Standard Day: Pick Up at 4:00pm
• PM Extension: Pick Up at 4:00pm OR 5:00pm OR 5:45pm

Registration will be outside, regardless of the weather, and parents will not be able to enter the building. KOOSA Kids staff will offer a contactless sign in, where parents will be asked to review any information and staff will countersign on their behalf.

How will my child be looked after?

Your children will be grouped in ‘bubbles’ by age, and according to Department for Education guidelines. Each bubble will be allocated a dedicated space, equipment & toilets.

To avoid disappointment, we would like to remind you that we are unable to guarantee your child will be placed in the same bubble as their friends. Please note, bubbles will not mix throughout the day.
