Things To Do Easter 2026: Kids Activities in Hertfordshire

Finding a school holiday activity that works for both a 4 year old and a 12 year old can be a challenge.

At Xtra Time, we specialise in providing holiday clubs that are tailored to different age groups. We ensure that every child, regardless of their age, has an amazing experience that matches their energy and skill level.
While many parents are already planning for the summer holiday, our Easter sessions are the perfect way to keep children of all ages active. We provide a safe, professional environment where younger children feel nurtured and older children feel challenged. By focusing on age-appropriate groups, we make sure that nobody feels left out or overwhelmed.

Tailored Activities for Every Stage

We know that a 5 year old has different needs than a 10 year old. That is why our holiday clubs use specific groupings.

This allows us to deliver coaching and creative tasks that are just right for your child’s developmental stage.

For Our Younger Explorers (Ages 4 to 7):
• Fundamental Movement: Fun games that build basic coordination and balance.
• Storytelling & Crafts: Creative sessions that spark the imagination.
• Social Play: A focus on making friends, sharing, and following instructions.
• Confidence Building: Positive reinforcement to help them try new things.

At this age, the focus is on “learning through play.” We ensure that our youngest members feel secure and happy, helping them transition into the club environment with ease.

For Our Older Adventurers (Ages 8 to 12):
• Advanced Sports Coaching: Led by UEFA A Licensed coaches to sharpen real skills.
• Team Strategy: Complex games that require leadership and communication.
• STEM Challenges: Problem solving tasks that keep the mind sharp during the break.
• Independence: Opportunities to take on responsibilities and mentor younger peers.

For older children, we turn up the intensity. They get to dive deeper into sports tactics and take part in more competitive tournaments, all while staying in a supportive and respectful atmosphere.

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.

A Safe and Inclusive Environment

Whether it is the Easter break or the long summer holiday, our “Inclusive for All” mission never changes. We make sure every child feels like a valued member of the Xtra Time family. Our staff are experts at managing mixed age settings, ensuring that the environment is always supportive.
Being an Ofsted registered provider means we follow strict safety standards for every age group. This gives you peace of mind while your child enjoys a day filled with action and laughter. We also accept Tax Free Childcare and Childcare Vouchers to make our clubs accessible for all local families.
