programme schedule

The Cromwell Kids Fun Club releases a brand-new, customised activity timetable shortly before each school holiday block.

While the exact calendar changes every term, their structured daily timetable and typical activity rotations follow a consistent format

  • 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM: Full Day program.
  • 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM: Short Day program.
  • Standard Daily Rhythm: The mornings usually feature high-energy group activities or out-of-town trips, while afternoons focus on movie screenings, relaxed games, or structured arts and crafts.

A standard 5-day holiday block is structured around these recurring themes:

  • Wheels & Active Days: Often features morning bike or scooter park sessions (helmets mandatory) followed by afternoon baking, newspaper fashion shows, or talent challenges.
  • Inflatable & Gym Days: Special high-energy days where giant bouncy castles, obstacle courses, or soft-play equipment are set up inside the Cromwell Primary School Hall.
  • Out-of-Town Excursion Days: A signature weekly event involving a bus trip to Alexandra for outdoor ice skating and curling, or localised day trips to the theater, squash courts, or “Teddyland”.
  • Creative & Science Days: Themed blocks dedicated to hands-on science experiments, painting, knitting challenges, or miniature cooking projects (like making mini pies or sausage rolls).
