A summary
NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL OCTOBER HALF TERM DATES GO LIVE, 7AM 01-10-2026
Get ready for school holiday adventures at our HAF Holiday Club for 7–12 year olds and new for this year 11-17 yrs summer youth group.
Meet and handle animals in our very own petting zoo, including reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, small mammals and even horses.
The children won’t just watch – they’ll get involved, learn about each species, help care for them and build real confidence around animals.
Days are packed with forest school experiences like bug hunts, designing bug hotels, plus relaxed picnics in the park and creative animal-themed arts and crafts.
A healthy lunch is included, with children helping to prepare food, learning basic kitchen skills and gaining a deeper understanding of good nutrition.
Every day is hands-on, outdoors.

About your mentor
Zoe's Party Animals
Zoe's Party Animals
Founded in 2014, Zoe’s Party Animals was created from a genuine passion for animals and a deep desire to inspire the next generation to develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love and respect for animals and the great outdoors. What started as a simple idea has grown into something truly special — a place where children don’t just attend a session… they experience it. Our Team Zoe’s Party Animals isn’t just me. I’m incredibly lucky to be supported by a small, dedicated team who help create the warm, family-friendly atmosphere we’re known for. We’re not just animal lovers — we’re experienced professionals with backgrounds in SEND support, education, care work, and animal welfare. Together, we create an environment that’s inclusive, nurturing, and full of fun — where every child and every guest is treated with kindness, patience, and respect. More Than Just Childcare We offer more than supervision — we create opportunities. At Zoe’s Party Animals, children are encouraged to thrive, build confidence, and learn new skills. Whether they’re handling animals, exploring nature, developing teamwork, or simply stepping outside their comfort zone, every session is designed to support growth in a hands-on, engaging way. We believe in learning through experience and fostering curiosity. Because childhood should be adventurous, educational, and filled with wonder.
