Safari MK HAF Winter Play & Eat

🦁 Safari MK Winter HAF Family Play Sessions! ❄️

We're delighted to welcome eligible families to Safari MK's Winter HAF Play Sessions, funded by Milton Keynes City Council's Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.

🎟️ Who can attend? These sessions are for children who receive benefit-related Free School Meals (FSM) and one parent or carer. An adult must attend with the child, and an adult ticket must be selected when booking. Bookings without an adult ticket may be declined.

🗓️ Please note: There are six sessions available, but families can attend one session only during the winter holiday programme. This helps ensure as many families as possible can enjoy the experience.

🎉 What's included?

• Up to 4 hours of play and adventure
• A hot meal for every child
• A complimentary drink for the accompanying adult
• A comfortable indoor venue with heating and air-cooling, whatever the weather

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 One adult can accompany up to two children. To help us welcome more families, please avoid bringing more than one adult per child where possible.

❗ Unable to attend? If your plans change, please cancel your booking via EEQU as soon as possible. Places are fully funded and limited, and cancelling allows another eligible family to enjoy this fantastic opportunity.

We look forward to welcoming you for a fun-filled day of learning, play and family time at Safari MK! 🦒🐒

Dear Parent/Carer,

We are delighted that your child is taking part in the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.

As HAF places are fully funded and often in high demand, we want to ensure that as many eligible children and young people as possible can benefit from the opportunities available. Currently, some sessions experience a high number of non-attendees, meaning places are left unused when other families may have been waiting for the opportunity.

We understand that plans can change and that there are many reasons why a child may be unable to attend a session. If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your booking as soon as possible so that the place can be offered to another child.

If you are running late on the day, please do not worry. Your child is still welcome to attend, and providers will do their best to support you. We know that finding a venue, unexpected delays, or feeling anxious about attending can sometimes make it difficult to arrive on time.

To help improve attendance, providers may contact families before and during sessions to offer support and check whether they are still planning to attend.

Please be aware that where a booked session is missed and providers are unable to make contact using the details provided, any future bookings with that provider may be cancelled. This helps ensure that funded places are used and remain available to other eligible children and young people. Families are always welcome to rebook or join waiting lists for future sessions.

Thank you for helping us ensure that HAF opportunities are available to as many children and families as possible.

Kind regards,

Milton Keynes HAF Team
