November Out Of School Newsletter 2026
Hi everyone,
It is nearly the end of 2026 and Christmas season is fast approaching. The children have enjoyed settling back into a routine after the summer holidays. We have also welcomed some new children and families into our setting.
The holiday club children have had a spooktacular time celebrating Halloween over half term. They have enjoyed searching for pumpkins in our very own pumpkin patch where they then carved and decorated them, explored their creativity when making clay monsters, spiderweb crafts and mini ghost garlands, as well as baking Halloween themed treats such as pumpkin pizzas, cookies, and ghost rice crispy treats. They’ve also enjoyed an autumn themed nature walks in search for the perfect autumn leaf, halloween scavenger hunt and created their own games. The next holiday club activity list will be out soon ready for the Christmas festivities!

Attention
Please can we ask that now the weather is getting colder that children bring coats, gloves and hats, particularly for the school walks to and from school. Please could we also label items of clothing.
If any personal details have changed since registering (for example, address, phone number, work phone numbers, allergies etc) please can you update these details on Kids Club HQ. Keeping emergency contact numbers and key individuals up to date is crucial in an emergency.
I would also like to take this opportunity to remind parents about parking and consider where you park when dropping off and collecting your child/children to ensure you are not parking on the neighbours’ driveways. Thank you.
