Everything You Need To Know About Starting A Holiday Club For Kids
Starting a holiday club? Then you are in luck! Welcome to “Everything You Need To Know About Starting A Holiday Club!”
We work with hundreds of holiday clubs across the UK, so this essential guide is full of the advice they have told us they would have welcomed when starting out.
Funding For Holiday Clubs
Great news! You might not need as much money as you think to set up a children’s holiday club. Get a plan and budget in place by contemplating your goals and the cost of achieving them. Take, for example, the cost of staff, venue hire and equipment.
These costs will vary greatly depending on the activities you are planning to run, so it’s a great idea to think through every aspect of your club plans. You should also allow for a contingency amount for unforeseen costs.
Holiday Club Insurance
From data protection to risk assessments, establishing certain protection measures is a crucial element of managing a kid’s holiday club.
Your safety net for when things don’t go to plan, holiday club insurance provides financial coverage in case of an accident or unforeseen circumstance. And having the right kind is a game-changer.
While not mandatory for all insurance providers, a holiday club risk assessment allows you to highlight and sidestep unwanted events – before they happen.

Children's Activity Equipment List
Score a win for your club’s reputation with the right space and equipment in place. Give thought to the venue: Do you need an indoor or outdoor space - or both? Can you find a venue that will also supply any necessary equipment?
What equipment will you need, and where will you get it from? While your specific needs will influence your kit list, most holiday clubs use items such as bibs, cones, balls, speakers and a music player (phone, iPad or laptop).
Holiday Club Marketing
One of the key things to consider pre-launch is how you will promote your new holiday club. Planning your holiday club marketing and advertising will ensure you start strong and give parents the confidence to book as soon as you’re up and running.
Take it from us: any time spent making your brand stronger before launching your club is well spent, as having a solid brand in place will pay dividends as you grow.
