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!!!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
