Half term/holiday camp for 3.5 yo

[Eachecho]

Hello, we just moved to Beckenham and our 3.5 year old is currently attending a local pre school that follows the school terms, she attended a full time nursery before so didn't need to find childcare for half term/holidays, does anybody know if there's a half term camp in Beckenham area that would take a 3.5 yo? Thanks!!

I don’t know about beckenham but ones I know in Surrey all start at 4 ie school age

At that age it is often hard for you children to cope well in a new environment for a full day holiday camp. Perhaps consider a temporary nanny/babysitter through a babysitting agency if you need childcare during the holiday?

They're too young for full day holiday camps at that age. You need a private day nursery.

You might get an activity club that runs 10-12 or something, but holiday camps for 3yr olds are very rare.

There are a few that take from 3. Look if there is a camp Beaumont near you. Your choices will be very limited. The majority take from 5 which is hard enough for a reception child let alone a pre-schooler.

If it's childcare for work purposes a standard term time only pre school may not be the right provision for your circumstances. Mine were both in day nurseries until the option arose for DC2 to attend a new pre school which offered a lunch session to cover between am & pm sessions plus pretty close to all year round provision.

What made you pick a pre school if you needed care all year? What are your thoughts when she starts school and is off for 14 weeks?
