Nimble Arts Creative Holiday Clubs for 4-11 year olds - this summer - extended hours until 6pm!


Recommended Posts

We're in the thick of planning our May and summer Nimble Arts creative holiday club activities, and are delighted to launch our first three weeks of summer holiday club held at Goose Green Primary School from the 27th July to the 14th August, and we've still a few places left for our May half term holiday club! Book before the 10th May for to save ?15 on our summer holiday club bookings with our 'early bird' booking discount .


If you've not used Nimble Arts before, you can find our more at www.nimblearts.co.uk (including lots of pictures from past courses), and we've popped some feedback from parents at the bottom here, but to fill you in.. We're a local organisation, run by two musicians, teachers and workshop leaders, Catherine (oft known as Miss Burgis!) and Becky, and we're an Ofsted registered, full day childcare organisation with creativity at our heart. We work with a team of professional artists, musicians and actors to deliver high quality and (importantly!) great fun days, and we make sure our adult to child ratios are low, and all our staff have proven experience of working with and delivering quality workshops for young children! Each day is different, and you can choose whichever combination of days works for you. We do tend to book up in advance, particularly on mid-week days, so would advise early booking!


The details are:


May Half Term: Tuesday 26th - Friday 29th May, at Heber Primary School, workshops 10 - 4 each day with free wraparound care from 8.30 - 5.00

Tuesday: Drama!

Wednesday: Mad Professor's Lab - a cross art's day of making, acting and professorial mayhem!

Thursday: Arts and Crafts - make bedroom bunting and much more!

What parents have said about Nimble Arts....


?Thanks so much for last Tuesday?s band workshop. Evie enjoyed it so much and can?t stop talking about it.? Ian, Parent


?Just thought I?d pass on that D said today was fantastic ? and the best day of her half term by some way!? Emma, Parent


?As a granny responsible for some fetching and taking of two participants, I just wanted to say how impressed I was by the teachers running the course. They were so gentle, friendly and positive and understood brilliantly my rather quirky 8-year-old grand-daughter. How wonderful if all primary school teachers could be like them!? Brigid, Grandparent


?they also loved the band who came in on Tuesday, it?s really the best holiday club they?ve ever been to!? Parent


Via Twitter: ?I love Nimble Arts, it?s the best holiday club in the area by far!? #eastdulwich


From the East Dulwich Forum: ?It?s really very good ? they do absolutely loads and it?s very creative and fun

We've still a bit of room left to join us for the May half term holiday, so come and get creative and dodge those gloomy skies. Places are left on all days, although the Mad Professors Lab (Wednesday) is now looking quite full, and the Tuesday and Thursday are also beginning to fill up. Lots of room to come and sing with us on the Friday!

There's still time to join us this May half term, but get in there quick... spaces for summer are beginning to go quickly (we're impressed by how organised many of you are!), and don't forget there's early bird discount booking available until the 10th May (save ?10 on your booking).


We're still finalising plans for the last two weeks of the summer, so watch this space!

We'll be keeping an eye on the inbox and bookings over the bank holiday weekend, and will update on here when full - suspect we'll be sold out for Wednesday and Thursday, but should have space for Friday up until the day.


And don't forget second tier early bird summer booking ends on the 10th June - get your booking in before this and save ?10 on your booking - places are filling up pretty quickly, particularly mid-week days, so get in there quick. We're exploring the possibilities of an extended day for summer bookings, and will update if and when this becomes available, as we understand a 5pm pick-up is quite early!

Thanks to all the feedback we've received, we're now offering a limited number of extended hour places for our summer holiday club, with optional 5-6pm spaces now available! You can book these online, and if you've already booked and would like to add extended hours, just email [email protected].

Update on the Nimble Arts Summer plans!


We still have spaces available for all days at our Goose Green Holiday Club from the 22nd July - 14th August, although they're filling up fast - particularly the mid-week days, and the week of the 10th August is well over half full on most days, so get your booking in soon to avoid disappointment... We're nearly finished planning everything, so we'll have more detailed information about all the days, including our raft of special creative guests, will be online in the next few days.


EARLY BIRD BOOKING has been extended until the 30th July, so enter code 'earlybird' if you book before then and save ?10 on your whole booking.


As you may have seen, we had originally been planning on running courses from the 17th August to the end of the holidays, but sadly we've been unable to find the perfect venue that's safe and suitable - our normal host, Heber, is having building work this summer, and other schools and community centres are having deep cleans those weeks. This does mean we'll be available for birthday parties and bespoke workshops during this final end of the summer!


If you'd like to find out more about Nimble, there are LOTS of photos of past workshops on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/NimbleArtsLondon), search on here for recommendations, or just take a browse on our website at www.nimblearts.co.uk. We're happy to answer any enquiries by email at [email protected]

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
