Practically Family is proud to present SUMMERSTOCK 2025 – our summer holiday Holiday Club with all the festival feels! Think water fights, wild painting, Nerf wars, dance-offs and more...This is summer done Practically Family style!
SUMMERSTOCK Holiday Club will run at Greenbank Preparatory School, Cheadle Hulme from Monday 14th July to Friday 29th August 2025. Mark your calendars – this is the summer they’ll remember.
No two days are ever the same at Practically Family. This isn’t just childcare – this is the kind of summer that gets scribbled into scrapbooks and told in stories come September.
Whether they’re into football or flower smashing, den building or dancing, our clubbers are all free to be brilliantly themselves. We know kids. We get what makes them tick. And we’ve planned a summer packed with play, creativity and pure, screen-free fun.
We champion teamwork, friendship and individuality – there’s no “one-size-fits-all” here. Whether your child is the group leader or the quiet observer, they’ll be welcomed, encouraged and supported every step of the way.
We’ve gone all in this year – because the kids asked for it! So what’s new (or just BIGGER) for 2025?
NERF WARS!
Yes, you read that right. Target practice, team challenges, ducking, diving and scoring points – all under the promise that the children will pick up the bullets. (We’ll hold them to it.)
More football!
Our brilliant football coach will be running daily football skills sessions – perfect for anyone who loves to kick, dribble, pass and score!
More water!
If the sun shines, prepare for slip ‘n slides, water bombs and epic water fights. Our clubbers asked – and we listened. Let the splash battles commence!
More Practically Wild!
We’re going FULL forest mode – with fairy and gnome worlds (hello Smurf Village!), flower smashing, weaving, nature stations, wild painting and even more outdoor discovery.
More sport!
From basketball to tennis, team games to the legendary Practically Family Olympics – we’ll be on the move and having a blast.
Beautiful crafting!
Clay, papier mâché, junk modelling, flower pressing, key ring making, water gun painting… If you can dream it, we’ll be making it.
Full-on festival vibes!
We’re bringing the glitter and the groove with face paint, unicorn plaits, hair braiding, tattoos, dancing, headband making and friendship bracelets galore.
Magic in the Den
For our Very Special Little People (VILPS) aged 3-4 - Dinosaur worlds, big builds, messy play, potion mixing – all the joy of open-ended creativity, mess included.
Every festival needs a headline act – and at SUMMERSTOCK, it’s our incredible crew. These are the people who bring the energy, the care, the wild ideas and the warm hugs. They're trained, qualified, and full of joy – and they make Holiday Club magic happen.
Each morning, your child will head to their Crew Camp – a festival-style tent decked out in their Crew Colour. It’s their base for the day, and they’ll make it their own with flags, crafts, handshakes and maybe even a secret chant.
BLUE? YELLOW? ORANGE? GREEN?
There’s no difference between crews – but don’t tell the kids that! Crews help children settle in, form friendships and feel part of something special.
Don’t forget the merch! Our SUMMERSTOCK t-shirts, hoodies and caps are available to order online from £12 – and we’ll have them ready and waiting on your first day. (Totally optional, of course – we love a superhero tutu just as much.)
Just a backpack with:
We’ll provide healthy snacks and plenty of water throughout the day.
The best thing about SUMMERSTOCK? Watching new friendships blossom, imaginations explode and confidence grow by the day. Whether it’s a shy wave on day one or a full-on crew chant by the end of the week, every child is part of our family – and that’s something we’re seriously proud of.
Let SUMMERSTOCK 2025 commence! Book your child's place HERE.
