Testimonials
Meena,
Parent from School 360
"Mei absolutely loves going to FREDs after school and she also loves the holiday camps.
At the moment she attends a
drama club on a Saturday and loves it!"
George,
Parent from School 360
We love Freds! We are very lucky that they are at our school. From the moment I drop my
son off, the staff are warm, friendly, and excellent with the children.
The range of organised
activities is diverse and engaging, meaning my son is constantly entertained throughout the
day. Crucially, it’s my son’s preferred choice for holiday care over other options. He always
leaves happy and is always eager to go back!
Vanina,
Parent from School 360
"Luca loves Fred's. Hands down, have the best teachers, always enthusiastic and amazing with the kids."
Ana, Parent of Year 2 Child
Fred’s has been absolutely brilliant for our family. The staff are warm, organised, and genuinely care about the children. My son comes home happy every time and always asks when he’s going back. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in a safe, well-run environment.”
Melanie, Parent
“We’ve tried a few clubs over the years, but Fred’s really stands out. The activities are engaging, well thought out, and not just ‘time-filling’. Communication is clear, booking is easy, and the team are always friendly and professional. Highly recommend to any parent.”
Chandni,
Parent from School 360
"We can’t recommend FREDS club and camp highly enough. The staff are incredibly caring, the activities are varied and engaging, and the biggest testament is that our children want to go. We are never forcing them!
There have even been tears when I forgot to book, and FREDS have been fantastic at accommodating last-minute requests. Both of our children speak so highly of the staff and always come home happy, tired, and full of stories."
Henry,
Parent of Year 1 Child
“My daughter can be quite shy, but the team at Fred’s made her feel welcome from day one. She’s grown in confidence and loves the variety of activities on offer. It’s clear a lot of care goes into planning each session. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
