What do parents say?
“We wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for what we think has been the best camp yet. Both our girls have loved every day they have attended. The itinerary put together was fantastic with amazing trips, but most importantly the camp ethos of inclusion, support, safety and so much fun means the world to us.”
“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for yet another wonderful holiday camp over the last three weeks. The boys have had the most fabulous time and have come home every day with smiles on their faces, telling us exciting stories and showing off the amazing creations they’ve made. It has been so good to know that whilst we’ve been at work, the boys have been well looked after, safe, happy and having so much fun. We cannot thank the team enough.”
“We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work over the last three weeks and how welcome you have made us feel at Teesside High. Our daughter has loved every minute of her time with you and I have felt so comfortable leaving her in your care. It can be hard to find high quality childcare for the school holidays but Holiday Camp at Teesside High is truly amazing. The balance of trips and school based days is perfect and the care given to the children is exceptional.”
