Does anybody know of a decent playscheme for a school child which is in or very close to town? I have learnt that Ponds Forge do a scheme during school holidays but haven't met anyone who has used it. Any recomendations would be welcome

hi
i live in netherthorpe and with the lack of postal information and advertising i wondered if anyone knows of any school holiday activities?!!!
i have a 7 year old girl and 5 year old boy

you could try here

Are you looking for holiday play care or just activities you can take them to?

Best place to go is the childrens information service. :)

I do, I'll be running a summer school in performing arts over the summer http://livewire.ueuo.com/hillsboroughyoungperformers.htm.
This is a very popular event which has been running for 8 years, this is our 9th.

i am looking for anything locally ,just to keep them entertained
are there any day trips going anywhere

Hi - I rang the Childrens Information Srrvice & they have sent tons of stuff through. I have 4, ranging from 11 to 9 months & there seems to be something for all of them. A lot of free stuff too. Grass sledging is a particularly good one which my daughter loved last year.

I was really impressed. Also I noticed the Burton Street Project had a lot of sports stuff. it wasn't free but not too expensive.

I don't know the number but found it easily through Google.

anyone have a link to whats on in both sheffield and rotherham?

What to do at half term now that my four year old has started school. He gets terribly bored, and when he was at nursery, I just used to pay extra to let him have an all year place. But his nursery is now full so he cant go back and visit at half term.

Where can I book him a few sessions at half term?

I know I can phone up Children's info service, but they couldnt help me with this last time. Does anyone use a particular setting for a younger school age child during school holidays?

Nowhere?

Its gonna be an awful long week!

Hi
Have you contacted the Childrens Information service about any half term playschemes running - they can normally help.

Hi Everyone

I know theres still a few weeks until half term but I have been thinking about what to do with my kids, 3 under 8.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Day trips can be so pricey now so want to go somewhere recommended so I can pretty much guarantee a good day out for my money.

I doubt this will be of much use but Hillsborough Young Performers will be running a performing arts event for kids aged 6-16 at Marlcliffe School.

well we are off swimming , doing Magna, possibly bowling and shopping according to the ones i look after lol

Depends how far you want to travel. If you are staying at home get together lots of old magazines pritstick and a piece of old wallpaper and make a murial. Cut out the bits for the little one if she has problems with scissors cover wallpaper in prittstick and get them to stick it all on themselves. Baking biscuits is good too or making pizza. Go to park and see how many kinds of leaves they can find. If you can get big cardboard box you can do a lot, make a house shop, puppet theatre, use cardboard packaging to make shop items. Get in a good DVD and make popcorn. Have a party with cake etc.

If they like footie - SUFC do a good football training club during the hols and you get discounts for siblings - my son has done it loads of times (between the age of 6-11) and loved it!

sheffield city centre has fright night on 26th of this mnth. Half 3-half 8 can take the kids in fancy dress im taking mine. Im also going too chester zoo on 18th.

I have three kids 8 and under - if you asked them where they wanted to go for a day out they would say either the Butterfly House at Anston or Sundown Adventureland (bit further out but the kids love it)

However they will be enjoying their half term digging up the allotment and baking - well they have to earn their keep somehow and they enjoy that just as muc - and its a lot cheaper.

Top ideas :thumbsup:

I've palmed my eldest off on zebra for the performing arts school :hihi:
The little ones we're just lazing around, getting appointments out of the way etc

Mine used to like bolder hopping from Paddley gorge down to Grindleford all good fun free and the train is cheap back to Sheffield also if the weather is good you can make a day of it, we used to get the bus to fox house and walk down its appox 3 miles

We are running summer camps at Ashdell prep school in Fulwood for children aged 4-8, we do full days or afternoons. Full days will be doing Playball, Art and Yoga and Afternoons will just be Playball. The dates and prices are on our website www.playballyorkshire.co.uk.

Playball is ideal for both sporty children and children who need to develop a love of sport. We currently run term time programmes at Ashdell, Birkdale,Brantwood and Sheffield High school and come highly recommended by many parents whose children regularly attend our camps.

Our camps are open to children from any school or preschool.

Hi
My partner and I have just moved to Sheffield (Handsworth) and have 3 children aged from 5 to 9. We are struggling to find an affordable holiday club in the area open from about 8am until about 6pm each day to accommodate them all in the summer holidays. I'm starting to get really worried as the holidays are fast approaching, does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks :) :help:

I'm afraid I don't, but I wanted to welcome you to the Forum and to the Parenting Group :wave:

Have you tried Sheffield Information Link? They'll send you a list of local playschemes. You could also try Sheffield Netmums. What about playschemes near your workplaces, some areas have more than others. For instance I know that Northern General Hospital has a playscheme, so does the University. Are you eligible for help with childcare costs through tax credits. If so could you use a childminder?

Have a look at www.kingscamps.org. They have several different options available at different costs

there was something about kids clubs in the ' your sheffield ' booklet that came through the door the other day, I will have a look as there was a website address on there

I'm not sure if there are any until six but my daughter will be attending Playball summers camps they are £100 pounds per week for full days 9-4. They do take 4-8 year olds usually but i think they make exceptions for older siblings. There website address is www.playballyorkshire.co.uk.

You could also try anchor sports and Ashdell prep school, the kids don't have to school there to attend.

Hillsborough Young Performers will be delivering their usual summer events for any children across Sheffield who care to come along. It costs just £50 for a full week and we offer session from 10 am - 3.45 pm and optional extra time.
We have sessions in dance, drama, music and art, beginning with a theme and ending with a live performance.
All details can be found at www.hillsboroughyoungperformers.org.uk , including application forms.

ooh zebra are places still available on the first week? I'm getting bugged about it!

Yep, still places for all of them at the moment and we'll be pleased to see your little lady back again :)

Has anybody got any ideas about holiday care over Christmas for a 4 year old? He seems to be excluded from most as not yet 5. Found a few that offer a half day but not really compatible with life as we know it. Help! :huh:

I'm guessing a childminder might be your best bet there. Many after school and out of school facilities have little or no provision.

Hi i'm looking for a nursery that will take my 4 year old son one day a week in the summer holidays or a holiday club - can't face seven weeks without a break !

Hiya,

If you go on the net mums site there is a page where you can find out which holiday clubs etc are close to you. I have been considering this too for my 3 year old son. Which area are you in? I might be able to post you a link.

walkley /hillsborough

http://www.netmums.com/listings/SUMMER/sheffield/12/Hillsborough/938/// It doesn't list walkley but maybe you could look at some of the other areas listed and see if any others are suitable.

:huh: sometimes I wonder why people have kids :rolleyes:

:huh: sometimes I wonder why people have kids :rolleyes:

Be fair, you have no idea of the Op's circumstances. I was a single parent of 2 for 5 1/2 years without support. It's not unfair to ask for a break!

I hope that you are never in the situation where it all gets too much!

If this is the pressure and attitude to my circumstances now, what's everybody going to be saying the older she gets? :huh:

Here here. I would consider sending my son for one or two days because I find it hard to keep him occupied all day everyday. Most toddler groups finish for the holidays and he will miss pre-school and the company of lots of other children. Places like playcentres get extremely busy for little ones during the holidays. It can be very limiting. So it's not all about the parent, kids enjoy holiday clubs! Sending a child to a playscheme for one day and spending 6 with them is hardly a reason to say someone shouldn't have bothered having kids! Until people have a pre-school aged child they can't appreciate how hard it is to occupy them and how much they need a change of scenery, faces and the company of other children.

Actually, my daughter is only 12 weeks old, and I'm already fed up of people making me think there's something wrong with me not minding breast feeding, not being desperate to get back out to work, not gagging for adult time, and not chomping at the bit to be getting drunk in a nightclub. If this is the pressure and attitude to my circumstances now, what's everybody going to be saying the older she gets? :huh:

So ignore what everyone else says it's not their business, but leave the OP alone as we don't know her circumstances.

When she is older it will be totally different. I have felt the same about breastfeeding my daughter and didn't leave her at all for 6 months. Now she breastfeeds only twice a day I have been out shopping a couple of times on my own and out for 2 evenings. I also don't worry about the holidays for her. However a 2/3/4 year old is a completely different kettle of fish to a baby! I'd be very very surprised if you manage to spend ever day of every week with your daughter until she is 3 years old and never feel like you need a break or that she does!

Thanks for all your replies - the nursery is part of a school which closes for seven weeks in the summer holidays - for the first week of term they only open the nursery for the new starters - seven weeks is a long time to entertain a 4 year old! - we cannot afford to go away on holiday and even though we have days out to parks in Sheffield it becomes expensive with bus fares

Because some people are given the wonderful blessing of becoming parents to a child that has come from an unfortunate start in life - so no more clever comments please

do you have any local drop in creches ?? i know of one but its norfolk park - a little too far for you maybe ? good luck in finding somewhere - parents are allowed a little break too !!!

I've been told to ignore people like you :D

I don't have an issue with the request for whatever child care, but I do have an issue with people being happy to display how fed up they are with their kids

Anyway - back on topic... this may be useful: http://www.asksid.net/parentcategory.html?&zoneid=4

Just to say emanjay I certainly didn't get the impression that you are fed up with your son and nor am I with mine. I'm sure the majority of people will agree that it's ok to want a little time on your own every now and then and for your child to benefit from other activities and from company from other children and adults. Best just to ignore people who don't have anything constructive to say :)

The only problem with kids clubs is that they are quite expensive I think so if money is tight you might find that a problem. It's hard to find things to do in the hols as I know my son loves the park but he would get sick of it every day. I think Jelly Tots playgroup run by Zebra on here might still be open in the holidays but I'm not 100% sure. I've never been but I've heard good things about it so it's one activity you could consider. Also do you have a local sure start centre because they often have activities on which are local and either free or low cost.

Jellytots is indeed open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 1 pm to 3 pm, throughout the summer holidays, with the odd break. You'll find them at Victoria Methodist Hall on Chapel Walk. The entrance is opposite Superdrug.

Worry not, the vast majority of us past the bloom of a new baby will admit to needing a break, and haven't for a minute misunderstood you or considered you a bad mum. I hope you find a suitable place.
Those with tiny puddins will doubtless come to the desperate yearning for regular me-time within a few months, but can be excused their infatuation at the moment. We've all been there :)

My 4 year old goes to one in Norfok park and has been there 3 years, its £3.00 per hour and you choose the time period to suit you

I have spaces for the summer holidays for 0+ children. I have posted my details on netmums, I am on asksid, childcare.co.uk etc etc

fully ofsted registered so that you can claim the childcare element of tax credits and I am very competitively priced (one of the cheapest in my area) while having an NVQ level 3, fully insured and providing loads of different activities for the children. I am in S14

happy childcare hunting!!

The source at meadowhall also have a creche..never used it myself but it's meant to be good. :)

Hi i'm looking for a nursery that will take my 4 year old son one day a week in the summer holidays or a holiday club - can't face seven weeks without a break !

Seven weeks? Is he at a state nursery? As far as I know, the summer break is 5 weeks this year.

Isn't Jellytots a parent and child drop in though, rather than somewhere you can leave your kids?

Isn't Jellytots a parent and child drop in though, rather than somewhere you can leave your kids?

Yes it is. Although I have never been I have heard great things about Jellytots. Im sure it will give mum a bit of breathing space whilst her LO is letting off steam with the other kids.

Strix your only 12 weeks into parenting and Im sure your time for wanting a break will come. ;)

My daughter is in nursery 1 day a week for 4 hours and this is to give me a break. (Although I do have other responsibilties and childcare is the easier option than respite for the person I care for).

OP: It may be worth asking at the nursery if a holiday club operates in your area. Good Luck :thumbsup:

jenz, don't pat me on the head ;)

I don't object to the requirement in the thread. I fully understand there are circumstances where childcare is necessary, but I object to the tone in the opening post. Seven weeks isn't exactly a lifetime

Btw - H may be the first child I've given birth to, but my youngest brother was born when I was 16 and my mother was VERY ill for a long time afterwards, so his care fell to me. If I didn't tire of his care then, I can't really see that happening as readily as everybody seems to think is compulsory

Could I please butt into your thread?

I am beginning the search for a nursery for my lo when he is 3 but would preferably like to use the hours whilst I am at work. Can you use the hours like this? I would prefer it if I could work it to my advantage and also that it is easier on my mum so that she doesn't have to pick him up midday or whatever.

Commenting on Strix's post - do you really get people asking when you are returning to work when your baby is only 12 weeks old? I didn't breastfeed Lewis so could have easily gone on many nights out to a nightclub but didn't......I don't know anyone that has when a baby has been so young.

Having the care of a younger brother or sister is a very different scenario. I know, I did that, too.

There was nothing wrong with the 'tone' of the OP's post. There's nothing wrong in admitting you want and need a break from your children occassionally.

There is a great deal wrong in accusing someone of being a bad parent, which is what you are doing, Strix; particularly when you do not know their circumstances, and frankly have not yet had the opportunity to know where they're coming from.

And even if your child does reach the age of 4 without you ever yearning for even one day to yourself, that still would not mean it is okay to castigate others for not having the same amount of patience as you, it would simply reinforce the fact that all people are different...and that is a good thing, not a bad one.

strix i take your point but at the end of the day she was contracted to do a job,Pregnancy is not a illness I worked till 39 weeks with my son and went back to work when my daughter was 4 days old.
I understand that maybe people may be ill but it is not a illness,you carry on for fear of letting people down,It happens every day a wedding hopefully happens once but you do not let people down as i said people get pregnant every day
ps I will still brude run if need be but it upsets me when people let people down and use pregnancy as an excuse

Cozy - you're stretching my post out into something it's not

I agree that there was nothing wrong with the tone of the opening post. Childcare doesn't have to be necessary. My son doesn't have to go to pre-school but he goes for 2 mornings for several reasons
1. He enjoys it.
2. I get to spend some time with my daughter where I can give her my full attention.
3. It gives me a break, which I am not ashamed to admit I need sometimes.

All children are different and just because one person doesn't feel the need for a break doesn't mean others are wrong to. The OP talked about 1 day out of 7 for a holiday club. I hardly think a person can be that fed up of their child if they are only considering 1 day. As I have said before keeping a toddler entertained 7 days a week, when many of the things you normally do have stopped for the holidays, is not easy.

Using words like "fed up" and "tire" is basically twisting this thread into something it's not.

Could I please butt into your thread?

I am beginning the search for a nursery for my lo when he is 3 but would preferably like to use the hours whilst I am at work. Can you use the hours like this? I would prefer it if I could work it to my advantage and also that it is easier on my mum so that she doesn't have to pick him up midday or whatever.

It all depends where you choose to take the hours. A lot of pre-schools only open for mornings but there are some that do afternoons too. They normally aren't open for full days though more like school hours.

If you want to use the hours for long periods of time you might need to consider a "proper" (not sure that's the right word!) nursery which provides care for children from being babies. You might find they impose their own restrictions on when you can and can't use your free hours, like at the one my friend's son goes to you can only use the free hours for mornings sessions so you can't get full days free. I think your best bet is to find some nurseries in convenient locations for you and then enquire at each about how you can use your free hours. It really varies from place to place.

Little Imps Pre school in hillsborough are open all yr and have holiday clubs during school holidays for children up to 5 yrs .

Try this, my little girl loves it.

http://www.playballyorkshire.co.uk/class_times.html

you have to take the free hours over a minimum of 3 days.

so you can have 3x5 hours
2x6 and a 1x3
3x4 1x3
5x3

etc etc etc, the problem being is finding a setting that will meet your requirements. its not just nurseries that can offer the funding, childminders can too.

If you want information about the different types of childcare available Sheffield Information Link (Sheffield's Family Information Service) have a factsheet that they can send out to you. If you contact them they can help you find the childcare you need in whichever area of Sheffield you like, whether it is near your home of your place of work. They will send you lists of approved providers. The best thing to do is to contact them on 0114 275 6699 or info@sheffinfolink.org.uk

Hello trotter :)

Do they take children with special needs?

eh mrseggy
i have pm'd you:)

Morning all

My GD starts school next September, so as I like to try to be organised, I have started looking for holiday child care ideas for while I’m at work.

I started with school, they do not have any holiday schemes
I have looked on the Sheffield CC site and can’t find anything for 5 year olds

I can have annual leave to cover some holidays, but I only get 25 days per year so this will not cover the whole time.

I could pay for a child minder, but the only ones I know don’t have room for holiday cover as they child mind year round.

So over to you, what do you do as working parents during holidays?

hi some private nurserys run holiday clubs. there are lots of sporting camps about that 5 year olds can go to, kings camp, and archers camp,as a working mum i often look after a friends little one from school on my day off and she returns the favour on her day off, somtimes my mum hepls out and takes the odd day off here and there for me.

I didn't want to rely on family or friends as they are my back up if she's ill, so dont want them to think i'm taking advantage but I like the sound of kings as the Sheffield one isnt far from me, not heard of it before, I will look into the archers camp as well.

Thank you for your ideas

You need to be looking for Out of School Clubs, they provide care for 4+ years

http://www.osn.org.uk/

http://www.sheffinfolink.org.uk/Resources/Sheffield%20Information%20Link/Documents/PDF/A%20Guide%20to%20Out%20of%20School%20Clubs%202010. pdf

My 5 year old goes to Playball camps at Ashdell school in Fulwood, during the summer she also went to ashdell camps(they're open to alll children) and pony camp at ladybooth farm, it worked out ok, she loved the camps and myself and my husband took some time off so we could be home.

Yeah - its difficult to make 25 days leave cover 13 weeks of school hols! LOL.

But I have to say that in Sheffield I think we really are well provided for in terms of holiday clubs - they do vary in terms of cost hours and quality but if you go to Child Info Service on Leopold St they have loads of info in whats around .

Hi does ne one know any good holiday clubs for my 4th old daughter preferably shiregreen, town or ecclesall rd area

Thanks Vic

I know of one at Grenoside, not too far from ShireGreen. I'm sure there'l be loads more though. The majority of private day nurseries offer holiday provision.

Hi cabbov

Flower Estate Community Association near Hinde House School sometimes have a holiday club on dependant on funding, you could give them a ring to check if they've got one running at half term. You could try local childminders who may do school holiday provision. I'm a childminder and take some children only in the school holidays. Unfortunately I haven't any space at the moment but if you pm me I can put you in contact with other local minders who may be able to help.

Dragon Arts is running art classes for 3 weeks but they are only from 10 till 3pm. If you want more info look at their website, its Monday to Wedndesday for the first 3 weeks of August at Endcliffe Methodist Church Hall.

Woodhouse nursery have a banner up outside saying they have holiday places (not that this'll help the OP as the thread's so old!)

Ponds Forge are running sport camps 08.30am - 5.00pm Monday to Friday during August for children aged 8-13.
Take a look at the website for more infromation and to book:

http://www.ponds-forge.co.uk/Activity_Camps/

Can anyone recommend good quality holiday childcare for 5 – 8 year olds, in Heeley or towards town areas?

I have applied for term time working via work, which has been turned down, I have contacted Sheffield information Link, who have sent me a 40 page email giving childcare in Sheffield, most are not suitable due to location, or do not cover all the holidays.

The ones that are nearby do not have places or will only take her if she has either a younger sibling into nursery or older sibling for holiday clubs.

Child minder’s want paying for the whole year even though she will be at school most of it, (which I understand as she will be taking up a child’s place)

This can’t be something only I have come across, so if this has happened to you what solutions did you find.

Act 1 do a fabulous drama workshop. It's at ecclesall parish hall..just off eccy road. It runs tue - fri from 10 - 3. And kids do a performance thingy at 2pm on the Friday. Really good if you're around to do pick ups and drop offs but not so good if you need all day care.
