Thank you so much for your lovely review — it really means a lot to us! 😊
We’re so pleased to hear your son has had such a great time at both Ipswich and Felixstowe — and even better that he’s coming home happily worn out… that’s always a good sign! 😄
Our team work really hard to create fun, engaging days for the children, so it’s fantastic to hear that this is coming across.
We really appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming him back again soon! 🙌

Poor SEN care
The company provided assurances that they were able to provide care for a child with ADHD. In reality they have one SEN support worker per session and she herself stated that if children need close arm support this can’t be garunteed as she can have lots of children at one time
To monitor. This resulted in an unhappy child and a lack of childcare despite my best planning. On discussion with other SEN parents several have been left without care mid way through. The reviews don’t reflect this so I am
Adding our experience for balance. I couldn’t be more disappointed in the way the company handled my child on the day they decided to withdraw care as they didn’t seek parental advice at all to help keep him safe.

Response from School’s Out Activities
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we’re genuinely sorry to hear that your child’s time with us did not meet your expectations.
As a mainstream childcare provider, we recognise the challenges in meeting the diverse needs of children with SEND, and we fully understand how upsetting it can be when care arrangements don’t go as planned. We want to reassure you that we take this feedback seriously and will be reviewing our internal processes to explore how we can better approach SEND provision within the realistic resources available to us.
Currently, we employ dedicated SEND support workers who work at a ratio of one support worker to four children requiring additional support. Unfortunately, this does mean we’re unable to safely offer one-to-one care, and in some cases, we may have to determine that our setting isn’t the most suitable environment for a child’s individual needs. We completely understand how difficult this can be for families, and we’re truly sorry for the complications this caused for you.
We’ll continue to signpost families to specialist organisations better equipped to provide one-to-one SEND care, while also reflecting internally on how we can improve our communication and procedures to better support parents in the future.
Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us identify where we can evolve and ensure that every family feels respected and supported throughout their journey with us.
Warm regards,
The School’s Out Activities Team

Fantastic Summer Camp!
My son has never been to a summer camp and was very nervous about joining. However, he loved his time with early explorers in Ipswich! There is a broad range of activities every day and different themes running throughout the week. He loved being able to swim every day, play and bake or make things. Staff were always very happy, polite and informed me of the day and how he was. I highly recommend School’s Out and will definitely be back again! 😊

Super duper!
Our kids love going to schools out in Woodbridge. They run great activities for all ages - little explorers where my daughter has come home having made a fairy garden or she’s put together, various art and crafts which look brilliant. The slip and slide is always a highlight. My son who’s older does the adrenaline adventure and it cares really well for his sporting activities, craters for him being neurodiverse and he didn’t have to engage in any activity which he didn’t feel comfortable doing, they come home happy and buzzing to go again which is a major plus. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the longer hours such as before and after is helpful to for those of us having to juggle working with kids on summer holidays.

This is superb David, thank you for taking the time in writing this super duper review! 🌟
We’re absolutely thrilled to hear how much both of your children enjoy their time with us at Woodbridge. It’s wonderful that your daughter is loving Early Explorers and coming home with such creative projects (the fairy garden sounds magical!), and that your son is thriving in Adrenaline Adventure with activities that suit his sporting interests and individual needs.
Our team work hard to make sure every child feels supported, safe, and excited to join in — so hearing that they come home happy and buzzing to return means the world to us. We’re also delighted that our extended hours help make the holidays that little bit easier for you too.
Thank you again for your kind words — we can’t wait to welcome your family back for more fun, creativity, and adventures soon!
Warm regards,

Wow, this is great to hear Chloe! So glad to have you as part of our team as we know the children all love to see you at camp. Roll on the summer holidays...
Such a great first time experience!
My 4 year old tried the camp for the first time during the Easter Holidays, i only signed her up for a few days as we had never tried it before and i was nervous. She never wanted to leave! She wanted us to send her everyday. Beaming isn't the word for her when we picked her up each time, she loved every second! The staff were lovely, they done so many things throughout the day and she came home with something each time. I will definitely be sending her again, she can't wait!

We know it can feel a little nerve-wracking trying something new, so we’re absolutely delighted to hear how much your daughter enjoyed her days with us over Easter. Seeing children so excited to return and full of stories (and creations!) at the end of each day is exactly what we aim for.
It’s fantastic that she felt so welcomed by our team and loved every second of the activities. We can’t wait to see her back with us again for even more fun, friends, and adventures!

I have been so impressed by the care and attention of the staff at School’s Out camp Chelmsford. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the way they kept my daughter (diagnosed coeliac) safe during camp and reorganised the baking activity so she could still take part.
Both my daughters attended during half term and loved the activities!

Wow what an endearing review, the team at Ipswich will be so pleased!
Son loved braintree
My son joined schools out for the last 3 weeks in braintree and he got so excited every morning when he knew he was going, he wouldn't even say goodbye he'd just run in! When I picked him up he would be so excited to tell me about his day! He'd come home with things he had made on the day such as decorated biscuits and cakes. He had his last day yesterday and was sad that he had no more sessions. One happy boy 😀 I will also add one his first day they sent me via email an accident form where he had jumped off the bouncy castle and bumped his head, was very impressed with their efficiency!

Highly recommend!
My children have loved Schools Out! My oldest has been a few times and it was my youngest first experience this summer and they’ve loved it every time. So helpful for working single parents, especially with the funding available. Loads of different activities every day, extremely helpful and friendly staff, and definitely tires out the kiddos every day! Thank you to all the staff for looking after them!
