We are delighted to be partnering with Robert Owen to provide a holiday club for children aged 2 to 4 years (children do not need to attend Robert Owen Nursery School). We have been operating holiday provision and wraparound care in the local community for 12 years and our aim is to ensure all the children in our care are happy, safe, stimulated and welcomed. At our latest Ofsted inspection in February 2024, the inspector noted that ‘Relationships between staff and children are exceptionally warm and caring’.
What does holiday club look like? We are based in Fir Tree classroom. Breakfast is provided in the morning (cereals, toast, fruit) and we ask that your child brings a packed lunch. We provide a healthy snack of fresh fruit and vegetables in the afternoon. We follow the structure of the Robert Owen day with in and out free play, story time, and fun and engaging activities for the children including cooking, dancing, constructing and drawing as well as themed activities based around the time of year such as water play during the summer.
The costs for the day are:

I require childcare to 5pm/6pm … No problem! We are happy to bring your children to Halstow Primary School SE10 0LD at 3.30pm, the end of the Robert Owen Holiday club day, to join our older children up to 6pm. Here your child will play with other children who are about to start in reception class in September and current reception children as well as others. Please take a look here for more information.
My child is starting school in September 2025 – which holiday club is most suitable? This depends on you and your child and I’d be happy to advise. We suggest the first week at Robert Owen (Monday 18 to Friday 22 August) followed by the second week at Halstow (Tuesday 26 August to Tuesday 2 September) providing a gentle and smooth transition towards starting school.
We accept all childcare vouchers and tax-free childcare (Ofsted number EY492456).
If you would like to book your child in for holiday club, please complete this booking form and email to thehollytreeclub@hotmail.com. Please ensure you also read and accept the terms and conditions of the Parent/Carer contract.
We know very well that the quality of care of your children is paramount. We have a very experienced team: Jo, Agata and I look after the children and we ensure every child feels happy, is safe and has fun.
