Choosing the right holiday camp for your child is an important decision. You want them to be safe, happy, engaged, and excited to go each day – while knowing the care fits around your family’s needs.
With so many options available, it can be hard to know what really matters. Here are the key things parents should look for in a holiday camp – and how Club Excel delivers on every one.
A Range of Activities That Genuinely Suits Every Child
No two children are the same. Some thrive on sport and competition, others love creativity, technology, or simply being active with friends. A great holiday camp should offer real choice, not a one-size-fits-all timetable.
At Club Excel, we design our programmes so every child can find something they love. From Football and Multi Sports to Performing Arts & Crafts, Theatre Workshop, Techy Coders, and Artists’ Studio, our activities are carefully planned to suit a wide range of interests and personalities.
Add in our daily inflatables and popular WOW activities, and every day feels exciting, varied, and engaging – giving children something new to look forward to each morning.
Safety, Structure and Professional Standards
For parents, safety is non-negotiable. A high-quality holiday camp should be professionally run, well organised, and held to recognised standards.
Club Excel is an Ofsted-registered provider, meaning our care meets strict requirements around safeguarding, staffing, policies, and procedures. Our experienced teams create a secure, structured environment where children feel confident and supported.
We also accept Childcare Vouchers, Tax-Free Childcare, and 15/30 hour funding, helping families access high-quality holiday care in a way that works financially too.
Age-Appropriate Care for Children Aged 3–13
A good holiday camp understands that a three-year-old and a thirteen-year-old need very different things. Activities, supervision, and expectations should be tailored to each age group.
At Club Excel, we welcome children aged 3 to 13 years, with age-appropriate activities and experienced staff who know how to support children at every stage. Whether your child is attending camp for the first time or returning as a confident regular, they’ll feel included, challenged, and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
Experience You Can Trust
Longevity matters. A holiday camp that has stood the test of time has done so for a reason – families return, children enjoy themselves, and standards remain high.
With over 25 years of experience, Club Excel has become a name parents trust and children love. Many of our campers return year after year, building friendships and confidence along the way. Some even come back as coaches, which speaks volumes about the positive experiences they’ve had.
This continuity creates a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere where children feel at home and parents have genuine peace of mind.
Flexible, Family-Friendly Booking
Family life doesn’t always follow a fixed schedule, so holiday childcare shouldn’t be rigid. The best camps offer flexibility without compromising quality.
At Club Excel, we make booking simple and adaptable. Whether you need wraparound care, a single day, a full week, or care across the entire holiday period, our options are designed to fit around real family needs.
If plans change, bookings can be moved or cancelled up to 24 hours in advance for a full credit, keeping childcare stress-free and flexible.
A Holiday Camp Where Children Thrive
When choosing a holiday camp, parents should look for more than just childcare. The right camp offers variety, safety, experience, flexibility, and a place where children genuinely enjoy spending their time.
At Club Excel, we’re proud to provide a holiday camp experience where every child feels welcome, engaged, and excited to come back.
