Activ8 HAF Activity Hub @ Mile Oak

Our Mile Oak Activity Hub offers school-aged children the opportunity to experience a range of activities, such as sports: football, basketball, tri golf, netball, handball, as well as themed arts and crafts. There is also the opportunity to take part in dance and drama throughout each day. There is something for everyone at our hub, and children are able to choose which activities they would like to do each day.

All our sessions include snacks, a hot lunch, and food-based activities, learning how to make meals or explore healthy foods.

At our site, we are able to offer a range of facilities such as quiet spaces, quiet and calm outside areas to ensure that children can have some calm time if needed, or a space away from the main group.

SEND Spaces:
We have SEND spaces each day available to children with additional needs - please select the SEND ticket to identify that your child needs extra support.

We can only support those children who need some extra support to take part, and can offer a ratio of 1 to 4. This is ideal for children who are autistic, have ADHD, social and emotional concerns or who just need that closer attention.

For children who require 1 to 1 support, we have a separate listing as part of the short breaks where we can offer a dedicated support worker for each child. Please contact sendco@activ8forkids.co.uk to discuss your individual situation.

We have a number of support workers on site, trained to work with a variety of needs. All children with SEND will be given a key worker and we can include communication books and charts to help with the handover back to parents/carers. On-site, we have PECS, a sensory area and quiet spaces for children who need that. The activities are all free choice and there is always something for them to do.

Our company SENDCO will be in contact with parents/carers of SEND children before the start of the holidays to ensure we fully understand your child's needs and that staff are trained on any specific medication or support. Please make sure you answer the booking questions in as much detail as possible, and you can email further information to sendco@activ8forkids.co.uk

Longer Days/Extra sessions
The HAF session covers the school day of 9-3pm but you can add a late pick up at 4:30pm if needed.

We also offer the opportunity for further paid places - please book at www.activ8forkids.ipalbookings.com

Please check all booking details are correct before submitting your booking request.

Please park safely outside the school and then head to the nursery entrance (this is not the school main gate but the next gate up the hill). There is a doorbell to ring if there is no one at the gate.

A few T&Cs from Brighton & Hove City Council:
• Eligibility criteria – Brighton & Hove HAF funded places are for children and young people in reception to year 11 who receive Targeted free school meals.
• Limits on bookings – Over Winter HAF, Eequ will permit each eligible participant to be booked on up to 4 HAF places across all providers in the city. If a session is not attended, HAF places cannot be added back on to an individual’s allocation, regardless of reason. It is therefore important that sessions are cancelled before the activity starts, and ideally giving a minimum of a few days’ notice where possible to allow other children to benefit. Bookings can be managed by the Booker by logging into Eequ and reviewing their Schedule.
