We ran our holiday clubs last summer at Hillside Scout Camp in Small Dole, Henfield and we had so much fun that not only will we be returning for Easter and Summer 2025, but we have also booked the site for a 3-night residential from 12th to 15th August!

We have the most amazing camp planned and we can’t wait!!

As well as outdoor activities such as group rounders, football, den building, putting up hammocks, disk golf, and exploring the natural surroundings, the children will take part in craft activities such as making dream catchers.

Dinners will include a meal from the local fish & chip shop (we will take pre orders) and pizza, prepared and cooked in the pizza oven by the children! Evening entertainment will include movies with popcorn and hot chocolate.

More details will be sent out with exact timings nearer to the camp but in plenty of time for you to plan. Please note that due to the cost involved in planning and preparing a residential, cancellations made more than 6 weeks prior to the camp date will not be eligible for a refund.

Start and Finish Times

Exact drop off and pick up times will be confirmed closer to the camp.

Hillside Scout Camp | Henfield Road, Small Dole, Henfield

At drop off, please park in the bottom car park near the entrance gates. There will be a staff member waiting for the children to arrive and will tell them where to go. When collecting please wait in the car park area.

Holiday Club Bookings Holiday Club sessions can be booked online until 9pm the night before the session starts.

You can cancel a session or sessions online at any time. If you cancel a session or sessions online before 48 hours of the booked session, you will be automatically issued with a credit which you can re-use. After 48 hours you can still cancel, but you will not be issued with a credit after this time. Refunds We do not automatically issue refunds, however if under exceptional circumstances a refund needs to be issued, a £10 admin fee will be charged, to cover admin costs. Waiting List Places will be offered on a first-come first-served basis. When all places have been filled a waiting list will be established, with the following order of priority to ensure fairness to all: Siblings of children already attending the club, those requiring the greatest number of sessions/hours per week. When a space becomes available the person at the top of the list will be contacted first. Non- Attendance If your child will not be attending due to illness or other circumstances e.g., you are collecting your child from school on a day that they are booked to attend the club, you must notify us before the start of the session. You will be charged for the booked session. Late Collection If, due to unforeseen circumstances, you are going to be late, please contact the club as soon as possible. If a child is not collected on time, a charge of up to £25.00 per child will be added to your account to cover the costs of the staff who are legally required to supervise the child. If your child is not collected within 30mins of club closing, and the club has been unable to reach you or any of your emergency contacts, VIM will follow its Uncollected Children Policy and contact Social Care. Arranging someone else to collect your child. In exceptional circumstances, you may arrange for someone else to collect your child who was not listed as part of the registration process.

This information will be treated as confidential and will be stored appropriately. It is your responsibility to keep the club informed of any alterations to the information regarding my child (eg contact details, medical conditions, allergies etc). Medicines Ideally children should take their prescribed medication before arriving at the Club. If this is not possible and your child needs to take prescription medicine while attending, then you are required to complete a Permission to administer medicine form in advance. Staff at the Club will not administer any medication without such prior written consent. All medication provided must have the prescription sticker attached which includes the child’s name, the date, the type of medicine and the dosage. If children carry their own medication (e.g. asthma inhalers), the Club staff will keep the medication safe until it is required. See our Administering Medication Policy for more details.

Children and staff create rules for acceptable behaviour whilst at the Club and We have a clear Behaviour Management Policy and procedures for dealing with unacceptable behaviour. We recognise that poor behaviour can occur from time to time for reasons that are not always evident, or because of special needs. We will try to be flexible to accommodate such cases. However, if your child is violent, or if their behaviour poses an immediate danger to themselves or others, we will require you to collect them from the Club immediately and you will still pay for the session and any further missed sessions. In exceptional circumstances, and only when all other attempts at behaviour management have failed, we reserve the right to permanently exclude a child from the Club. See our Suspensions and Exclusions Policy for full details. Behaviour (adults) We will not tolerate from any person, whether a parent, carer or visitor: bullying; abusive, aggressive, confrontational or threatening behaviour; or behaviour intended to result in conflict.

See our Aggressive Behaviour Policy for more details. Child Protection We are committed to building a ‘culture of safety’ in which the children in our care are protected from abuse and harm. Any suspicion of abuse is promptly and appropriately responded to. We comply with local and national child protection procedures and ensure that all staff are appropriately trained. For more details see our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. Equal Opportunities Our Club provides a safe and caring environment, free from discrimination, for everyone in our community including children with additional needs. We respect the different racial origins, religions, cultures, and languages in a multi-ethnic society so that each child is valued as an individual without racial or gender stereotyping. We will challenge inappropriate attitudes and practices and we will not tolerate any form of racial harassment. For more details see our Equalities and Inclusion Policy. Special Needs We make every effort to accommodate and welcome any child with special needs. We will work in liaison with parents or carers and relevant professionals to fully understand your child’s specific requirements. We will endeavour to accommodate all children of all abilities, whilst working within the Club’s limitations. Each case will be considered individually and risk-assessed to ensure everyone’s safety. For more details see our Equalities and Inclusion Policy. Communication As an OFSTED registered childcare provider, we are responsible for each child's welfare therefore club staff may speak to your child’s teacher about their progress or any issues relating to their child’s welfare. EYFS Part of our obligations of caring for children who are within the Early Years Foundation Stage is to monitor and record your child's progress and interests through observations and photos, identify next steps in the child's development, and liaise with other settings, if applicable. Data Protection We hold only the information necessary to provide a childcare service for each child. This includes child registration information, medical information, parent contact information, attendance records, incident and accident records and so forth. Once a child leaves our care we retain only the data required by statutory legislation and industry best practice, and for the prescribed periods of time. Electronic data that is no longer required is deleted and paper records are disposed of securely.
