Summer Holiday Clubs In Nottingham | Boys will enjoy the outdoor fun included in some of the sports holiday clubs.


My youngest, LP, is an active boy - he likes to play football, golf, throw things, anything that gets him outside. It can be a real pain keeping him busy for the entire holiday and to be honest I haven't got the energy to keep up with him. So I often turn to Summer holiday clubs where he can run around all day while being supervised by adults who enjoy running around too. All he needs is a packed lunch and he can spend all day having fun. So in the spirit of sharing I've put together this list of local (Nottingham) Summer holiday clubs in case that's exactly what you're looking for.
