childcare in holidays

[Fooso]

Hi all, I just wondered what working mums do with their children in the holidays. I have a 14, 12 and 8 year old. My mum has said that its too much for to have them all now and while it's not ideal, I am happy to leave the older 2 on their own for the day but not the little one obviously - any suggestions?

There are holiday kids clubs that run all day like nurserys but with lots of sports. Called Baracudda I think, one in chilslehurst farringtons school. otherwise you can get childminders that will take kids just for holidays

My mummy friends in Bromley/Orpington all rave about Day Camps - similar company to the one the PP mentioned but it seems a bit more active (no colouring in, painting etc - a bit babyish for some children). She said it was good value for money and here two boys came home VERY tired every day - so she had a nice relaxing evening after work too!! Hope this helps :)
