What Parents and Schools Say About Us
Real feedback from families and school partners who trust School of Play to deliver safe,
engaging and high-quality childcare and enrichment.
School of Play has been a game changer for us. Our previous holiday club relied on screens for entertainment and they didn’t enjoy going there. My youngest wasn’t old enough to go to a sports club my oldest has previously attended. Then we heard about school of play which caters for older and younger children.Both my boys look forward to going to holiday club now so my mum guilt has been relieved. They love being recognised with certificates and really like the School of Play staff.It is lovely to pick up happy children who have been stimulated and engaged during the day. Well be back again in the summer holidays. Thanks to all the team

When I got there we already had communication that the reception entrance will be used. I was very pleased to see a signing in and out process and the locked door.The staff were lovely and the girls had a really great day. They really enjoyed doing the different activities, my eldest can be a bit anxious and shy and she felt completely at ease.Jayah had a small issue with a another child and Chloe explained to her perfectly that it was a misunderstanding as staff observed what happened. Chloe discussed it with me and it was resolved quickly and easily as Chloe’s approach was very open and honest.It’s clear the staff love their job and they were really kind with the kids and this does not always happen in holiday clubs. I know my kids loved it because they are really fussy with groups and they haven’t stopped talking about it!”

“First time using your services this week. My son enjoyed it that much I’ve booked him in for another session today. Will definitely book again in the future.”

Great! First time Noah has been to one of your holiday camps and I was really impressed with the set up when we dropped him off. The pastries, fruit and hot drinks were a lovely touch and the ballon arch and music made it feel really special for the children. Fantastic job and Noah said he loved it and was so keen to come back in summer.

Wonderfully welcoming and organised. Responsible, safe hands for my child. A very nervous child came out disappointed that she was only going to be there for two days. Knew the grown-ups names and spoke enthusiastically about them.

The girls seem to really enjoy the camp, it is a very friendly atmosphere and they always come home happy and wanting to go back!”

Lovely and welcoming (as usual!) great entrance with the giant deckchair. Anna was welcomed warmly and staff knew where she was going and what she was doing. Anna was only in camp for two days this week, but she has loved all the activities. The visit by the ice cream van was a lovely surprise.”

“The team at Broadheath Primary is wonderful and welcoming. My child had a fantastic time at the holiday clubs, with a wide range of activities and plenty of fun to keep them engaged. I would be more than happy to book again in the future.”

“This was the first time my little boy attended School of Play, he can be quite a nervous child in new environments however he was so excited each day to attend and at the end of each day told me he really enjoyed himself.I asked if he would be happy to attend on the next half term and it was a resounding yes!!”

“This was the first time my children have been there. It is difficult to find a holiday group that will cater to both ages and to find one that will take a child in nursery at Primary School but not yet 4.My daughter loved the camp and has asked to go back again. She enjoyed the crafting activities and my son was supported by having her there and not being too young.”

“Jake had the best time and he was so proud to be awarded star of the day by one of the staff.I also want to thankyou for removing a kinder hippo from Jakes lunch, I did not read the ingredients and was extremely grateful that one of your staff picked up on a treat that could have had horrendous effects on a child with a nut allergy.
All in all my first experience as a parent at a school camp I would 100% recommend and Jake did come out happy every day having made new friends.Thanks to the entire team, he will be back during the next holidays.”Parent

“Amazing. From the initial communication via email to the smile on our sons face at pickup, we were very impressed. Staff were so friendly and responsive to any questions or queries. Especially for us who have a son with diabetes. Knowing staff were trained to deal with this condition was so refreshing. Then what a welcome for both kids and parents on his first day. Our son went in all smiles.”

“Really welcoming, enthusiastic staff who seem to know the kids well. This is the first time we’ve used any holiday clubs and we have been so so impressed. The kids love it! Craft activites seem really good, varied and high quality and Otis is learning lots of different sports and games that he comes home and wants to play.”
Katie Gardiner(Chorlton Camp)
“Really impressed I was welcomed at the entrance, the lady explained to the boys what to do and offered them fruit. I felt that the club was well organised and left for work feeling reassured. The boys came home especially on the last day telling me they were excited and had enjoyed it especially about the animals.”
Parent(Urmston Camp)
“I have one child in play and one in sport. Both loved it. Clearly lots of thought gone into resources for play in particular. Lots of unusual and creative pieces coming home each day!”
