Holiday Club
Our free Holiday Club is run once a week during most school holidays. It creates a safe space for children to:
participate in meaningful activities
make friends and socialise
access lunch and snacks
and all of this is while developing social and communication skills and exploring new talents or interests.
Who is Holiday Club for?
Holiday Club sessions are booked and offered to families according to criteria. Priority will be given to those from lower income families, in receipt of pupil premium or eligible for free school meals.
Activities are free and for children aged 6-11 years old.
Upcoming dates for 2025 Holiday Clubs:
Activities are held at our Kids Inspire HQ, Hargrave House, Hollycroft, Great Baddow, Chelmsford, CM2 7FW
Time: 10am-3pm

Booking onto our Holiday Clubs
We are now accepting expressions of interest for our February Holiday Club.
Please read our Holiday Club Terms and Conditions before completing our registration of interest form your child or children.
Please also be aware that expressing interest does not guarantee your child’s place at our Holiday Club. We appreciate how popular our free activities are, and how quickly they get booked up. Our focus is on prioritising places for children from lower income families, those receiving pupil premium, or eligible for free school meals.
Registrations of interest will close on Friday 31 January. We will contact you by Monday 3 February 2025 to confirm if your child(ren) has got a place at our Holiday Club.
Thank you for your understanding.
“The activities offered are incredibly creative and engaging, catering to a variety of interests and ages. It’s wonderful to see them explore new hobbies and interests in such a supportive environment.
Thanks to Kids Inspire, my girls have had countless hours of fun and unforgettable memories.”

We welcome the opportunity to involve new volunteers in our popular outreach club, and encourage anyone interested to get in touch.
“Holiday Club is important for lots of reasons; for the social aspect, to encourage trying ‘new things’, for the provision of a tasty lunch, and to give parents a break during the holidays. Sessions are thoughtfully coordinated by our team and facilitated by carefully selected partner organisations, each running a host of fun activities.”
