He loves your holiday club because there is a lot of things to do, the timetable keeps him busy and there is a good balance between free play and other activities.

My daughter always looks forward to going and has made quite a few friends she looks forward to seeing.

We are having an absolutely wonderful experience with Y Kidz Play. The activities are both fun and educational, keeping our son engaged and happy. He is always leaving smiling from ear to ear with so many stories to tell me!
