Barracudas Activity Camps: School holiday childcare

Eight-year-old POD is heading to a Barracudas Activity Day Camp for the third time this summer. She’s always really excited about the varied activities on offer and the camp she attends has a pool as well which is an added bonus! POD loves that she can pick between two activities for each of the six daily sessions. This means one day could include activities like tennis, cheerleading and archery and another aqua slide, pop lacrosse and foot rounders! As a working parent, it’s the best feeling in the world picking your daughter up to hear she’s had “the best day ever”. The journey home usually comprises of her excitedly talking about what she’s been doing, the friends she’s made and how great the team are.

National Trust: Events in Surrey this summer

We love that there are so many National Trust properties to explore in Surrey. What’s more, there are LOADS of brilliant events coming up during the summer holidays (and into October half term) suitable for children of varying ages. Here’s a handy list of which National Trust properties you can visit in Surrey and a taste of what’s happening at each over the coming weeks.

The sanctuary of Frensham Little Pond

We’re truly spoiled having so many National Trust sites to visit, not just the abundance we have in Surrey but in nearby London, Hampshire and Sussex. With the school holidays fast approaching, we’ll no doubt be ticking a few more National Trust places we’ve not explored off the list. We do enjoy returning to our favourites too and the beautiful Frensham Little Pond is certainly one of those.

Wild ponies at Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve

Knettishall Heath Nature Reserve is a Site of Special Scientific Interest where wild ponies and cattle graze. It’s located in the Breckland area, which is one of the UK’s biodiversity hotspots, situated in Thetford.

Open-air cinema screenings in Surrey & London

Luna Cinema, the country’s leading open-air cinema, has some brilliant movies being shown over the summer at venues all over the UK. From new films like A Star Is Born, The Greatest Showman, Aquaman, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mary Poppins Returns and The Favourite to classics like Dirty Dancing, The Breakfast Club and Moulin Rouge! Here’s a taste of what’s on over the next couple of months around Surrey and London.

#UKexplore in June 2019

We’ve been back out exploring locally this month and its been brilliant. Highlights have included spending time at Frensham Little Pond, one of our many favourite National Trust sites near us, Alice Holt Forest and heading to the beach.

#UKexplore in May 2019

How’s everyone’s half-term been? We’re often away but with so much on at work, and various other things, it just wasn’t possible to escape. I say that but I was in Italy a couple of weeks ago! We’ve managed to enjoy a little of the great outdoors this month at least though. Over the Bank Holiday weekend, we took a nice walk along the canal before heading to the Surrey County Show.

What’s on in Surrey over half-term?

We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do in Surrey. And with half-term around the corner, there’s even more on offer. We’re lucky to have both Chessington and Thorpe Park in the county with farms, National Trust sites and museums within easy reach too. Here’s just a taste of what you can expect this May half-term.

#UKexplore in April 2019

You may remember last month we mentioned there had been over 39k photographs shared in the #UKExplore community on Instagram. We’re thrilled to announce this month, not only have we hit the 40k mark but we’ve surpassed it with 41.2k photos shared. How amazing is that? Thank you so much to each and every one of you that tags #UKExplore.
