• Ofsted describe us as “outstanding” and “excellent”

• we will generate a passive income for your school

• led by qualified teachers, playworkers, early years specialists and theatre practitioners.

We make your life easy. We manage bookings, staffing, resourcing, planning - everything it takes to run a successful club. We simply negotiate a turnover percentage share with you. You receive a passive income, we run a club that rocks.

We have 15 years of experience running happy and commercially successful holiday and wrap-around care. Our Ofsted inspections are testament to the quality of provisions that we offer.

Long days can be tough for kids and parents can feel guilty about how long their children are at school. By outsourcing your provision to us, your wrap-around club will no longer simply be an extension of the school day - it will be something entirely new: an energetic and dedicated team, refreshing resources, new ideas and a more playful relationship between adult and child. What’s more, your existing staff can save their energy and resources for running a fantastic school day.

Kids and parents love our clubs because we champion children to be the most awesome versions of themselves, to play, to challenge themselves and to grow. We create play provisions that bring together out specialities of childcare and entertainment, offering environments that are both safe and whole lot of fun

We care for our planet. We have a commitment to using natural resources where possible and consciously choose resources that are good for the planet; nobody goes home with a paper rocket wrapped in 20ft of sellotape. Instead, expect magical wands crafted with sticks, clay and twine. Making memories does not require making a mess of our planet!

We put the child at the centre of what we do. We are always asking ourselves “are we at SEA?” (pretty apt, being Super Pirates!). This acronym invites us to consider if what we are doing is safe, engaging and awesome. Always in that order. We also celebrate what we call the Runes of Awesome: a playfully designed reward system that encourages courage, kindness, curiosity and creativity.

Please get in touch and we’ll happily arrange a site visit and in person meeting. Turnover share is usually around 10% - 15%

There are so many reasons to celebrate with children and families across the school year. We organise play spaces and entertainment at festivals throughout the year, and we can bring this expertise and atmosphere to your school.

It’s no wonder schools book us year upon year. Imagine your school grounds buzzing with joy; a star tent proudly reaches to the sky, colourful inflatables scatter the grass and music floats through the air; children laugh, entertainers teach some kids to juggle, others zoom down a slip & slide; teachers battle parents in games of ‘360 dodgeball’, an actor dressed as pirate engages families in an immersive quest to find treasure… and the school rave is just about getting started!

We take care of everything. With us you get your tents, inflatables, sound-systems, countless activities, entertainers and performers. We can provide power and can be set up ready to rock in as little as 45-minutes.

• take classroom topics to the next level

• bespoke workshops for your school

• full terms, whole day or half day sessions.

• dedicated specialists in theatre, dance, illustration, media, and play.

Our theatre and dance team are able to take children on a journey of discovery. Every session aims to develop self-confidence and awareness, with a focus on communication and PSE skills. We specialise in taking your classroom topics and finding ways for children to engage learning in new ways. Learning about Roman’s? How about we create a Roman play that re-enacts Spartacus’ escape from slavery and his rise to greatness? Or how about we dance our way through the markets of Urbs? (Roman’s didn’t call Rome ‘Rome’ - they called it Urbs!)

Talented illustrators and calligraphy artists can work with your children to create their very own comics. Learning to create characters and build narratives, we gently teach new skills in storytelling and art at the same time. You can keep the comic books in your classroom library and build up a collection for all topics - written by kids, for kids.

Create an audiobook like this one. Workshops can be crafted around any topic you’re working on at school, or started from scratch with our team offering appropriate scaffolding for children’s imaginations to run wild. Not only will children’s voices be immortalised in a high-quality audio book that can be shared across the world, they will learn how to use microphones and recording technology.

The speech and drama equivalent of a music grade, which begins at basic levels and culminates at Grade 8. Through performance, the prestigious LAMDA programme helps to build confidence in both verbal and non-verbal communication, allowing children to find the creative, confident and courageous person inside. In a series of 30-minute 1:1 lessons, our Lamda tutors allow children to explore monologues, songs or speeches, working towards an optional accredited examination.

An incredible introduction to drama for children who are fired up to perform, have a passion for the arts or are in need of some additional opportunities to find their voice. Learners develop their vocal, physical and interpretive skills while they delve into characters and explore the background of dramatic texts. Alongside producing authentic performances of their chosen scenes, they also gain an understanding of the context and characters within them.
