Easter Half Term Holiday Clubs: Fun and Active Spring Breaks

Spring is the perfect time for children to get back outside and stay active. As the school holiday approaches.

We know you are looking for a balance of high energy fun and reliable care. At Xtra Time, we have over 20 years of experience in running holiday clubs that help children build confidence and make new friends.
While many families are already thinking about the summer holiday, the Easter break is a great time for kids to recharge. Our clubs offer a break from the classroom with a focus on movement, creativity, and play. We provide a professional environment where your child is always supported.

Why Choose Our Easter Holiday Clubs?

A great school holiday needs variety. Some children love being on the football pitch all day, while others enjoy a mix of arts, crafts, and team games. Our “Multi Activity” sessions offer something for everyone.
Our team includes UEFA A Licensed coaches and specialist childcare practitioners. This means your child gets expert mentoring and high quality care. Whether they are learning new skills in gymnastics or working on a team project, they are building confidence that lasts. We believe that every child has a unique talent, and our job is to help them discover it through positive reinforcement and professional guidance.

Why XTRA Time?

At Xtra Time, we make sports fun, inclusive, and engaging for every child, regardless of their ability or experience.

At Xtra Time, we do more than teach sports; we help children develop key life skills that will benefit them in all aspects of life.

Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who are not only skilled in coaching but are also passionate about inspiring young athletes.

We believe that introducing children to sport in a positive way lays the foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.

Developing New Skills for Life

Our approach goes beyond simple supervision. We focus on “The Four Pillars of Youth Development,” ensuring that children grow physically, socially, and emotionally. During the Easter break, we move away from traditional testing and focus on practical problem solving. Children learn how to work in teams, how to lead others, and how to stay resilient when things get challenging.
These are the same skills that help them succeed when they return from their summer holiday later in the year. By providing a low-pressure environment, we allow children to take risks and try new things without the fear of making mistakes. This freedom is essential for building a strong sense of self esteem.
