Useful information for Summer HAF
- The HAF activities are available on set dates during each holiday period. Eligible children can attend a total maximum of 16 sessions during the summer holidays.
- Places are limited so if your child is unable to attend a session you have booked you MUST cancel it with the HAF provider. Please do this as soon as possible so that they can offer the session to another child. Non-attendance without prior notification, may result in your child’s place being withdrawn for future holiday periods.
- We also provide information on Ofsted registered holiday schemes for children that are running over the school holiday period on our childcare webpage. These holiday schemes will have a cost as they do not come under the HAF scheme.
