We’re part of the HAF network

HAF provides funding to local authorities and childcare providers – such as JAG – so that local families in need of additional support can book their children into out-of-school activities. This vitally important programme helps ensure children:

Stay active during the school holidays
Take part in enriching, engaging activities that support their development
Eat healthily during the holidays
Are safe, socialise and make new friends

Find your HAF-funded JAG venue!

Junior Adventures Group receives HAF funding for the Easter, summer and winter holidays, and our HAF-funded holiday club spaces are open to families that are eligible for free school meals and/or working families that are struggling financially.

Can't make it? Let us know
If you no longer require your spot at our club, please notify us and/or cancel your booking as far in advance as possible. We only have a limited number of HAF-funded spaces available and want to make sure they’re all used and enjoyed by families in need, so we don’t like no-shows. In fact, these can affect your ability to book HAF-funded places in the future.

Eligiblity
Please be aware that your child’s eligibility for HAF will be confirmed to us by the local authority; if the criteria are not met, we will contact you about payment. As a guideline, your child may be eligible for HAF if they qualify for free school meals, or if your working family is struggling financially.

If your child is attending a Rise then Shine or Stay and Play club, they don’t need to bring anything with them for the club itself. However, it’s wise to factor in our unpredictable English weather, whether that’s sun cream and a sun hat or waterproofs and warmer clothing.
With a wide variety of activities on offer every day, your children will be most comfortable in practical activewear. You might also want to send a change of clothes that you don’t mind getting messy in outdoor play or arts & crafts!
Bookbags, backpacks, coats and other items that your child may use during the school day can be kept aside in the areas our Rise then Shine or Stay and Play Club operates in.
We always suggest that any clothing or items brought to club are clearly labelled and ask that children don't bring any valuable toys or belongings with them, as JAG cannot be held responsible if they go missing.
If your child requires medication, this must be brought to the club and the relevant forms must be completed every time your child attends. We cannot accept any children into the club without the required in-date medication and paperwork.
For younger children, we recommend packing an extra set of clothes in case of toilet accidents.
