About your mentor
Woodys Out of School Club
Outstanding care. Outside of school.
Who We Are - Since 2017 Ofsted-Outstanding wrap & holiday provider - 23+ years family-trusted in Northampton’s Grange Park - 80 years combined team childcare experience - 5 stars on Google Reviews Woodys team builds lasting bonds with our children from age 3 through to graduation, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards developed from our 2017 / 2023 Ofsted Outstanding & equivalent Met ratings. Our holiday clubs are ever-rotating, with a full menu of activities and visiting providers shaped by decades of experience. Come meet the team who knows your child, not just their name.
Learning aims
Aim 1
Safety is our number one priority. We conduct rigorous daily and pre-sighted risk checks, have regimented daily handover procedures
Aim 3
All of our activities are inclusive and age-scalable - so our older children can experience more thrills, whilst our younger children engage in safe and happy ways.
Aim 5
Water pressure bottle rockets? Zooming hundreds of metres into the sky? Did you know why? (and we'll add in an infographic on water pressure and the STEM behind it!).
Aim 7
Older children thrive on the sense of leadership and team-building, and younger children thrive on the sense of responsibility and learning of new skills.
Aim 2
We are Playwork-led, meaning we offer guided choice to our children. We provide a structured day full of pre-planned activities, but a child can always choose to do otherwise.
Aim 4
"Gamefied" learning - we don't tell our children, but all of our staff know to enhance all of our activities with a bit of the "why" behind it all.
Aim 6
We build team-building and competition into our play as well, so children divide into houses and learn co-operative and individual skills.
Aim 8
House points are awarded across all metrics, from tidiness, listening, fastest go-kart trial, and so on...

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.IMPORTANT: We are enforcing a strict NO-TOLERANCE POLICY. No-shows without adequate notice WILL RESULT in us no longer accepting your future bookings. Sadly, a significant number of bookers cancel within 72 hours or less, and an even greater number do not show without notice. No-shows genuinely hurt the programme. They waste the care and preparation that goes into each day and take away opportunities from other waiting children. Once your booking is confirmed, it is expected that your child will attend. If you can’t make it for any reason, you are expected to cancel your booking as soon as possible — this helps us manage funding correctly and protects your Eequ record. Thank you for helping us make this an amazing experience for everyone.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
