Holiday Clubs
What we offer
Holiday Clubs are suitable for children ages 5-12 where we work on two led constructions per day. The children will also have plenty of time to work on and explore their own designs. Snacks are provided but please bring in a healthy lunch.

FAQ
- What should my child bring?
- Are the children really demolishing their construction?
- Can I see what my child has been building during the day?
- What if it is my child’s first time?
- What if my child is ill and cannot attend or I want to cancel?
- My children’s school would love that, how can I organise a KAPLA Clubs workshop for my school?
We provide a morning snack (croissant/pain au chocolat or brioche, and some fruit), but please pack a healthy and balanced lunch as well as water for your child.
Please ensure your child wears comfortable clothes and have a full change of clothes in their bag. We always play outside after lunch and the play area can get muddy if it has been raining. We like to keep the hall and equipment clean and encourage children to change if they are muddy.
We also ask for children to be in socks indoors and to bring outdoor shoes (crocs/ wellies/ trainers for outside are perfect)
– In the summer, please pack a sun hat, suncream, extra water.
– In the winter, please pack suitable warm clothing, wellies and don’t forget a change of clothes!
We have hand sanitiser in the hall but if you would like to bring your own, that is fine.
Absolutely!
The children have been waiting for this with great anticipation. Imagine thousands of planks coming down in seconds as a giant domino run. It is so fascinating to watch!
Absolutely, what makes us special is that we create a WhatsApp group and send pictures to parents, so that you can see exactly what your little ones have created.
We also open the doors to parents 15 min before the end of the session so that they can admire the finished construction.
At KAPLA Clubs, we are used to working with children and we understand that it can be difficult for children (and parents) to attend a setting for the first time. We have an excellent caring team and our priority is to make each child feel comfortable. We have children attending from all around Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. We even have children attending from Suffolk and Essex!
Your child will quickly make new friends and as the groups are kept small and we have a very organised timetable, it is not as overwhelming for children. As a mum myself, I do make sure each child is happy, had enough to drink and eat and is enjoying their day with us
Please let us know if your child is unable to attend and if we have children on the waiting list, we will offer your space and you will be able to get a refund.
If we cannot refill the space, we cannot offer a refund but you are more than welcome to find someone to take your place, just pass on our details to the new parent so that we can take the necessary information.
We currently offer amazing STEAM workshops for primary schools all over the UK, prices are from £5 per child. Please contact us for more details or visit the School Workshop section. We also work with Secondary Schools, Nurseries and Preschools.

Rosie Latter20 June 2024We have received amazing feedback across the school from teachers, parents and of course the children. It was particularly noted that the workshop benefitted ALL the children in some capacity, and allowed for those with certain special educational needs to be involved and really get something out of the day. We were all in awe of what you managed to create with the children with such a broad range of age and ability!
Lisa Mansfield12 June 2024What an amazing experience for the children at school. They gained so much from this, not only in building skills but patience, resilience and teamwork. Jennifer was a great teacher, so calm and encouraging.
Peneli Grier8 June 2024Jennifer is a most fantastic host, maintaining utter calm amongst 15,000 precarious brick structures. She somehow facilitates the construction of something so tremendous looking, involving every child, whilst weaving in science, maths and her lovely French teaching. It is age appropriate from Reception to Year 6 and our pupils LOVED it. These events are tricky to organise, but it was more than worth it.
Caroline Mungeam30 May 2024Fun, nice, I love it!!
Merike Williams3 May 2024I honestly can’t recommend this enough. Jennifer is amazing and the age appropriate, cross curricular links she makes and explains to the children are brilliant. The resilience, endurance and teamwork shown by our children was incredible. Plus, it was fun! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Michelle Smith17 April 2024Amazing STEM building workshop today. Jennifer was very patient and made the sessions fun. My son loved it thank you!
Katherine Dexter25 March 2024All of the children at our infant school (and the adults too!) absolutely LOVED their KAPLA Clubs experience! Jennifer was amazing - she explained and demonstrated brilliantly and aimed the activities at exactly the right level for our children. Every single child was engaged the whole time and they all raved about it afterwards. The sense of achievement from the children at the end of each session was clear. The exhibition and demolition was of course a highlight! I would recommend KAPLA Clubs to anyone and we can't wait to get them back into school again soon!
Hassan Chowdhury16 March 2024The workshops were loved! From the children in reception to year 6, and adults as well, the levels of being hooked and captivated were amazing. Jennifer, our facilitator was very clear, patient and very engaging and the final build was awe inspiring. The final demolition was well organised and fun, fun, fun! Thank you!
Gemma Loraine1 March 2024What a fantastic workshop! Every child has been inspired and we have had so much positive feedback. The workshops were pitched perfect for the age of the children (4-7). We will be re-booking in the future!
S Birchley29 February 2024It was fun to make snd looked amazing once finished.
