School Holiday Childcare

At Xtra Time, we offer flexible and affordable holiday childcare options, designed to keep your children occupied and happy during every break

Finding reliable school holiday childcare

Finding reliable school holiday childcare can be a challenge, especially for a working parent balancing term time and school holidays. At Xtra Time, we offer flexible and affordable holiday childcare options, designed to keep your children occupied and happy during every break — including the summer holidays, Christmas holidays, and more.

We provide childcare during school holidays for children aged 4 and upwards, with sessions full of adventure, creativity, and learning. Whether you need full-time cover or just a few days, our holiday clubs and summer holiday childcare programmes give you peace of mind while your child has fun in a safe, supportive environment.

Flexible Childcare Options That Work for You

We understand that every family’s needs are different. That’s why our childcare options are designed to be as flexible as possible. From single-day bookings to full-week packages, you can choose what suits your schedule and your child’s needs.
Worried about the cost of childcare? We accept tax free childcare payments to help make our services more affordable for families. We believe high-quality childcare during the summer and other holidays should be accessible without breaking the bank.
Our holiday childcare options also allow you to book in advance or, where possible, at short notice — giving parents flexibility during unexpected changes in work patterns or holiday plans. Whether you’re looking for regular cover or occasional days to fit around your work or family life, our team will work with you to find the best solution.
