Curiously, the AVP Sports website doesn't say who the organisers are. The man who appears to run it (I think his first name is Mike) was very rude and patronising to my wife when she raised some concerns about the level of supervision in the swimming pool - I wonder if he has a problem talking to women. I did have a child who went to Scamps at the Dulwich Prep (which has terrific facilities) and he thoroughly enjoyed it, but dealing with Mike has been very unpleasant and we've decided not to send any of our children there.

Yes, another vote for Scamps. My son, who is generally not very enthusiastic at all about organised extra-curricular activities in any form, really believes that the main priority of the organisers is for all the children to have lots of fun. I've been delighted to find some childcare that he actually enjoys.

I was going to post about the fact that today (second day my 4 yo twins attended with their big brother) all 3 of them were miffed they had to leave at 4 and weren't booked in for the late session



And boy twin really isn't someone who has ever been keen on organised activities, my twins don't start reception till September


It is very well organised and calm quiet atmosphere I think

Like the idea if it being calm....or rather my eldest would. She tried the JAGS one but found it too full on - rugby really wasn't her thing! Will try Scamps next time around. Do they do things at half-term or is it summer only?


We tried JAGS, Artastic and Crafty Cooks this year and Crafty Cooks was definitely the favourite. Hannah was great with my youngest (only 4) and there were games I understand and crafty stuff, so not only cooking. Just a shame that the full week course (rather than short classes) wasn't closer to home.

We've done alternate weeks at Gumboots (Darrell Road 8-6pm) and Holiday Drop off at Dulwich College (extended day 8-5pm).


Number one daughter's loved it - mostly swimming and trampolining everyday (at HDO) with a bit of dodge ball. PLenty of 'boy' sports too but she preferred these.


Gumboots is lovely too. The minders are all really gentle and lots of fun had there too - bowling at E&C, Peckham Cinema etc.

Holiday Drop Off Sports Camp has added another week



The Dulwich College HDO Summer Camp is still available to book online


As Holiday Drop Off was inundated with requests to run another week, we have decided that we will now be continuing the camp until the 31st August 2012. Please note, that HDO will not be running on the 27th of August as this is a Bank Holiday.


As we are one of the few activity camps running until this later date, we would suggest booking early to avoid missing a place. HDO has hit record numbers this summer reaching out to hundreds of new faces, as well as welcoming back the camps more regular attendees. Week 7 is now bookable online


All dates are now bookable at www.holidaydropoff.com

Both of my daughters went to the HDO club in June. I was slightly anxious as they'd never been to a holiday club before, and they are quite shy girls. I don't know why I was anxious, they had the most amazing time and wanted to go every day thereafter! Their favourite activities were trampoling and the water ball/pool fun. The staff are very friendly and approachable. It was clear the children at the club adored them. We're all looking forward to spending many more fun days with the HDO team in the summer holidays. Many thanks for providing a high quality, fun club for our children

Parents Comments:



My two children, aged 9 and 4 absolutely love Holiday Drop-Off. They enjoy the variety of activities on offer and meeting other children. They feel safe and secure in a familiar environment and always ask to go back each holiday. The staff are warm, friendly and welcoming and my children are always delighted to see them again. I have no hesitation in recommending Holiday Drop-Off.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
