Why Schools Partner With Us
We make it effortless. You provide the space — we handle everything else, from equipment to insurance, staffing to safeguarding.
£5 Million Public Liability Insurance
Full coverage for peace of mind — our comprehensive public liability insurance protects the school, children, and staff.
Our policy covers all activities, premises liability, and any accidental damage. We provide a copy of our certificate to every partner school before camps begin, and it's renewed annually.
Ofsted Registered
We are a fully Ofsted-registered childcare provider, giving parents and schools complete confidence in our standards.
Our Ofsted registration means parents can use Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers to pay for camps. We undergo regular inspections and maintain full compliance with EYFS and childcare regulations.
DBS Checked & Safeguarding Trained
Every member of staff holds an Enhanced DBS check and has completed safeguarding training before they step foot on your site.
All staff complete Level 2 Safeguarding, Prevent training, and first aid certification. We have designated safeguarding leads on every course and maintain a single central record available for inspection.
Activity Insurance
Specialist activity insurance covers all premium activities including archery, inflatables, and climbing walls.
Our specialist provider covers high-risk activities that standard policies exclude. This includes bouncy castles, obstacle courses, archery, and all sporting equipment we bring on site.
We Bring Everything
Our box van trailer arrives fully loaded with all equipment, resources, and activity boxes. We just ask to use your hard equipment — benches, mats, chairs, and tables.
We ask the site team to find somewhere secure on site to keep our box van during half terms and school holidays. This enables easy setup and pack-down each day. Everything is padlocked, wheel-clamped, fully insured, and kept out of the way. All of our existing partner schools accommodate this for us — it's a simple, proven arrangement.
Full Site Inspections
Before every camp we conduct a thorough facility inspection, photograph everything, and return all areas to exactly how we found them.
We photograph every room, corridor, and outdoor area before and after use. Our course managers complete daily checklists ensuring nothing is out of place. Any issues are reported immediately to the school contact.
Cleaning Standards
All our course areas have access to cleaning products. We maintain high hygiene standards throughout every session.
We carry our own cleaning supplies and conduct end-of-day deep cleans. Toilets, activity areas, and eating spaces are cleaned multiple times daily. We leave everything spotless for any evening hires.
Guaranteed Revenue Stream
We pay a guaranteed daily hire charge for the facilities we use — providing your school with a reliable, added revenue stream during holidays.
Our hire fees are agreed up front and paid regardless of camp attendance numbers. Many of our partner schools use this income to fund facility improvements, subsidise school trips, or boost their maintenance budgets.
Staff Discounts
We offer a discount for all teaching staff whose children want to attend our camps — a fantastic staff perk at no cost to the school.
Teaching and support staff receive an exclusive discount code. It's a valued benefit that schools can promote in their staff communications — at zero cost to the school.
Investing in Your School
Many of the fees we pay have directly contributed to improving school facilities — from resurfacing courts to upgrading halls.
Our long-term partnerships have funded playground resurfacing, sports hall upgrades, new furniture, and equipment purchases. We're invested in the venues we use and take pride in contributing back.
