Hear It From Parents
My two boys have just finished a week Easter camp in St.Aidan's. They loved it!!! Every single one of the guys were brilliant. My older boy can be quite anxious and they took him under their wing and made me leaving so much easier. I felt comfortable leaving them, knowing they would be well minded and have hours of fun. Would 100% recommend their camps to anyone.
My son (5) and daughter (4) attended the Easter camp in St.Aidan’s. They absolutely loved it and were so excited to go everyday. The leaders were brilliant and they knew so much about my two after only a couple of hours. The kids wanted to stay longer every time I collected them. We cannot wait for the Summer camp :)
My son is doing the kickstart summer camp this week and he is absolutely loving it. He has been all chat about it and how carrots and ginger are good for you. I highly recommend kickstart the care and attention they give the children is second to none. The whole team are so kind.
