Whilst we understand that illness can’t be avoided or predicted, your child would have been included in our staffing ratios and provisions. For this reason, we can’t refund or swap days. We would need 48 hours’ notice to cancel and credit your Funtastic Kids account. Please let us know, however, if your child will not be attending by calling 07715643412.

There is a 10% sibling discount for the second and subsequent siblings offered on Breakfast & After School Club bookings where siblings attend the same sessions at some of our clubs. For more price information, please visit the specific webpage for the club or contact bookings@funtastickids.co.uk for more information.

All our Holiday Camps and Breakfast & After School Clubs have their own phone number, which is displayed in our registration areas and on each camp and club page on our website. Our main office numbers may not be answered at all times during the day so please take note of the club/camp number when dropping off your child.

It is important for you to give us as much information as possible before your child’s first day and record any information in the medical section.  It is a good idea to contact our director, Louise Holloway, for advice. Louise has experience as an inclusion manager for over 20 years and can support parents and staff to ensure that the child receives the best care we can provide during their time with us. Please note that we are a mainstream holiday camp and are unable to offer individual support (1:1 support) during the camp day. We always consider the safety of all our children when considering including a child with behavioural difficulties and the potential impact on staff to child ratios. For more information, email office@funtastickids.co.uk

Please email bookings@funtastickids.co.uk or call us on 07715643412 to let us know who will be collecting your child with their name and a contact phone number. The person collecting will need to know the “Collection Password” which can be set up on your online booking profile.

Yes. Breakfast is provided at all our breakfast clubs. A light tea is provided for sessions booked until 6 pm at the After School Clubs and a nutritional snack and drink are provided to all children as they arrive from school.

Yes, please ensure you add these to the online registration form with as much detail as possible. We are a NUT FREE ZONE so there will be NO NUTS OR NUT PRODUCTS (e.g. peanut butter, Nutella, cereal bars with nuts etc) allowed. We also provide “Free From” snacks as well as other snacks and can cater for special dietary requirements if we are informed in advance.

If you believe your child has left something at one of our Wrap Around Care clubs or Holiday Camps – please email office@funtastickids.co.uk and we can check for you.

Please note that after any of our Holiday Camps have finished, lost property is returned to our Wokingham office, where it will be held for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, any water bottles and food storage containers/lunch boxes are disposed of and any clothing is given to charity.

Funtastic Kids always display any lost property at Holiday Camps towards the end of the holiday period.  It is the parent’s responsibility to follow up with any lost property they believe we might have within the given time frame and to collect it from our Wokingham office.

Please note – we are unable to send out group emails, asking other parents if they have the missing item, due to data protection.

Yes. We register all our Breakfast & After School Clubs and Holiday Camps with Ofsted. We follow Ofsted regulations and guidelines to offer the highest standard of care possible. These regulations help raise the quality of care and ensure the safety and wellbeing of children. Our Ofsted registration numbers and most recent Ofsted reports can be found on our individual club/camp pages.
