Holiday Clubs

Our Holiday Clubs are held during school holidays and offer fun activities for children and young people between 5 and 25 who have a learning disability.

Our Holiday Clubs enable our younger members to meet and make friends, have fun and enjoy new experiences. We provide a range of clubs to suit all ages and abilities. Some sessions like sensory play, baking and arts and crafts are held at Grove Cottage, but we also organise trips to places such as soft play, trampolining, Hatfield Forest and fun meals out.

We know how challenging school holidays can be for parents who need to juggle work, childcare and keeping their children stimulated and happy. Grove Cottage’s Holiday Clubs offer affordable, high quality childcare for children and young people with learning disabilities, whilst also providing much needed respite for families.

Grove Cottage aims to be a fully inclusive organisation and is committed to supporting people through financial hardship. We can therefore, on a case by case basis, subsidise the cost of our services. If you would like to speak to our Operations Manager confidentially about this please email om@mencapgrovecottage.org.
