After-School and Weekend Activities Learning and Leisure for Children


and Young People


Our after-school and weekend activities are based at our fully accessible centre in North Watford, which is centrally placed so we can access local facilities. There are two large rooms to play and hang out in, a soft play area, sensory room and all-weather area. We run sessions every weekday evening during term time, from 3.30-6.30pm and provide a tasty and healthy meal. We also run sessions on a Saturday. Ofsted has rated our service ‘Outstanding’.


Young people enjoy our Friday night sessions, which alternate between the centre and local sports and other facilities. They enjoy sports, meeting friends and hanging out.


We offer holiday activities for 5-19 year olds as well as college students. Younger groups are based in venues in the local community, and have outings such as swimming, cinema and bowling. We invite outside groups to provide activities including music, animals and drumming sessions.


College students are asked what they enjoy and suitable activities are planned. They meet up and travel to their activity together, encouraging independence skills. We have had canal trips, barbecues, sailing and the cinema. You can use your personal budget for this.


‘I’m so impressed that she went out sailing on her own... that’s something we would never have done with her.’
