Children's Holiday Programme

Has your child attended The Pod before?

Before your child can attend The Pod, you must complete an enrolment form. This only has to be done once, so that we have all the important information we need to support your child.

If your child has visited The Pod before, you will have already filled out an enrolment form, so no need to do another one! Simply fill out the booking form below, and we will flick you back an email confirmation as soon as we receive your booking.

If you child hasn’t been with us before, please click here to fill out an enrolment form.

We want to be as flexible as we can and understand that sometimes things come up or the grandparents arrive in town! Once your child is booked we can offer “day swaps” if need be, however there is no refund for cancelled or missed days. Children are welcome to bring their scooters and ICT devices, we will try our hardest to keep everything safe and secure but please note that The Pod staff take no responsibility for lost or damaged belongings.
