Advice For New Starters

We strive to ensure that every child settles well and enjoys their time in our care. 

If your child is in the Early Years or may be feeling anxious about joining us, please download and complete an ‘All About Me Early Years’ form and provide any information that might help us to better understand your child.

Completed forms can be emailed to us at office@funtastickids.co.uk, or handed to our staff on your child’s first day of camp.

Alternatively, you can email us to request a phone call with a member of our team to discuss your child in more detail.  

We also have experience in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at our holiday camps and clubs. We ask you to contact our office for advice prior to making a booking by emailing: office@funtastickids.co.uk or by calling 07715643412. We would also ask that you complete an ‘All About Me SEND’ form giving us as much information as you can.

Our director, Louise Holloway, has experience as an inclusion manager for over 20 years and our management team 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 childcare provider and are unable to offer individual support (1:1 support) during the camp day or club session. When considering including a child who may find our setting environment challenging, we prioritise the safety of both that child and all other children in our care.

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.
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.
Funtastic Kids is an inclusive childcare provider. We have experience in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at our clubs/holiday camps. It is important for you to give us as much information as possible before your child’s first day in order to give the child the best chance of having a successful experience with us. We ask you to contact our office for advice prior to making a booking by emailing: office@funtastickids.co.uk or by calling 07715643412. We would also ask that you complete an ‘All About Me’ form giving us as much information as you can. Our director, Louise Holloway, has experience as an inclusion manager for over 20 years and our management team 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 or club session. We always consider the safety of all our children when considering including a child who may experience behavioural difficulties within our setting 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, 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.
Layers are a good idea so your children can stay warm/keep cool in the changing weather. Please bring a sunhat for warm weather. Clothes and shoes should be comfortable for running around in. Clothes that are not precious – they can get dirty when outside or messy when inside! A painting apron for art is a good idea or an old shirt. Please bring a change of clothes in case your child might forget to visit the toilet when taking part in all our exciting activities. Please make sure all items are labelled with your child’s name.
A packed lunch with plenty of snacks for break times, plus:
  • A water bottle
  • Any medication in a named container
  • Waterproof clothes for outside play
  • Sun hat and sun lotion for warm weather
  • Medication form (if this is needed and has not already been completed).
Please make sure all items are labelled with your child’s name. Please note that we are a nut free zone!
Children booked onto our Extended Day Session (8 am – 6 pm) will receive a nutritional breakfast and light afternoon tea included in the cost of the session. Water and “No Added Sugar” squash will be provided throughout the day. Some of our themed activities may involve tasting food (for example, trying multi-coloured fruit and veg as part of our ‘Over the Rainbow’ theme). Please bring a PACKED LUNCH and a water bottle for your child. We are a NUT FREE ZONE so NO NUTS OR NUT PRODUCTS are allowed in lunch boxes please (e.g. Peanut butter, Nutella, Cereal bars with nuts etc).
All our Holiday Camps provide fun-filled creative-themed timetables (activities include drama, art, games, science and more) as well as energetic and varied sports timetables. Children can choose their preferred activity each session, making every day at Funtastic Kids unique. There is no need to choose in advance, children can pick what they would like to do on the day! Please see our Parent’s page for example timetables.

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.

If your child is in Year 7 (or above), or attending Funtastic Kids during the summer when they are leaving Primary School to join Secondary School, they can be a Young Playleader. Please book as normal but let us know via email that they would like to take part in this scheme.
We don’t separate the children into different age groups. However, we have a VIP Club for our Early Years children where they are looked after by key adults, plus a Young Playleader Programme where the older children (Year 7 and above) are encouraged to take some responsibility. For some sports activities the children may be split into age groups for safety reasons.
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.
