Are you looking for an excellent Holiday Programme for your kids?
Check out what other parent are saying about Everyone Out:
"....we thought the holiday programme was fantastic. My 3 girls had the best time and it was really neat to see them come home each night dirty and happy!!!"

"She loved it so much! She enjoyed how the coordinators created things. She told me that they taught her “anything is possible” after seeing the creations and ideas like making swings and zip lines and bubble blower etc. She came home so inspired!"

"My children absolutely loved it. They loved toasting marshmallows, going in the steam, the waterside, making bow and arrows. All of it!"

Book your child into our July Holiday Programme by the 12th of June (Friday) and receive a 10% early bird discount. Luckily for you... I normally offer a 5% early bird discount but I made an error when setting up the activity... ooops! I can't change it now as people have already started enrolling their kids.
To enrol visit our enrolmy booking site enrolmy.com...
