Cross Keys Activities blog. Art, Drama & Sport camp in all holidays

Thursday, March 12th, 2009
Welcome to our first Cross Keys activities blog.
Cross Keys has a fun and friendly atmosphere which provides the perfect environment for every child to thrive doing the activity they love most! We are different because we:
  • Enable any child over six to specialise in art, drama or sport for a week at a time as well as providing a fun and cosy apprentice group for four to five year olds
  • Allow senior managers to get involved in activity sessions and running groups so we can make sure camp is perfect from the ground up
  • Make it easy for you to talk to the people who are in charge so you can chat, we can listen, and together ensure that children feel happy and relaxed throughout each action-packed day
  • Have received fantastic feedback from our last OFSTED inspection and continue to work in partnership with them to provide the best service possible
Please enjoy our blogs which we hope will be interesting and infioramtive for parents, hildren and staff of Cross Keys.
