Children's Activities

We offer a wide range of Activities for Children of all ages during term time and in the holidays. Our aims is to get Children to enjoy sport from an early age so that they carry on playing through into their adult life. No more sitting infront of the TV or playing on Computer games, come down to the Leisure Centre and join in with the activities. Stay Active and Stay Safe. We are registered with Ofsted and matched all the criteria at our last Ofsted inspection in August 2009. Unfortunately Ofsted have changed the format in which they use to inspect settings like ours, we no longer receive a grade - it is simply a met or not met outcome. However the Ofsted inspecter did say that if we were still being inspected via the previous method we would have recieved an Outstanding grade. Activity gallery
