After endless internet research almost giving up... The good places are probably hidden and only found by word of mouth. We have tried few afterschool clubs in the past but kids are now 8&10 and I'd really like to find something where they can try new things (ideally choice of sports/arts) and get engaged rather than be looked after (and left to their own devices)... Any place in Lewisham or Southwark with good transport links considered.

Thank you all!

Hi Digbina. Do you have contact information for Jolly Foresters please? I tried contacting them in the past but didn't get a response.


Spoony- my son (9) goes to Southwark Gymnastics' holiday clubs and likes them https://bookwhen.com/southwarkgym

Also the sports club at Dulwich College very good and the one at JAGS looks good too. Not sure if these run in HT or only in the longer holidays.

Sports activity camp at south bank university - elephant and castle, fitforsport the castle centre (everyone active) also elephant and castle.


Dog kennel hill AP usually have a scheme running too, my son attend last year and loved it and the staff.

Thanks, everyone! With the Southbank Uni Sports club http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/academy-of-sport/activities-for-kids/school-holiday-sports-camps we exchanged few emails and that's my fav.so far.

Foresters sound great (my kids do Woodcraft) however the website says Holidays 9.30 ? 12.30 or 9.30 ? 2pm and I need a full day.

I also found this http://lemonartlab.com/shadwell-club/ which is short trip by overground from New Cross and looks great.

St Dunstan's College in Catford is running Supercamps https://www.supercamps.co.uk/ which are looking interesting too. I was looking at PGL residential camps out of interest but these run from May over the Summer mostly. Anyone has got experience with these?

Hi everyone...we will be running our much loved playscheme again this year...


you can book using this form here:


https://form.jotformeu.com/71245028147351


Children are encouraged to be creative, get messy, arty & to use their imagination and play play all day long!


I have attached a brief outline of what we plan to do, but we are very child led so this isn't set in stone.


Children can partake in sports...outside play on our wooden structures, arts & crafts, have limited time of computers.


Its ?25 from 9-6.


Please email Kate on [email protected] for any other questions


Thanks so much

I would highly recommend Nimble Arts - it's on the pricey side but well worth it - many of the carers are teachers or have had teaching experience, in contrast to many of the other holiday clubs. They also use good quality materials and their organisation is superb - from passwords at pick up to the activities themselves.

They are best in class as far as I am concerned and my boys love going - they are aged 4 and 8.

Range of activities from sports to arts & craft and even exotic things like learning about various parts of history (e.g. Tudors - with actors dressing up, plays, just amazingly well done) and even falconry!!!

    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
