We have only 15 spaces on the minibus, and these are allocated on a first come first serve basis by booking via the link. If the booking system is showing no availability for the minibus option, this means the minibus spaces are full.

Once these spaces are taken, children are welcome to still attend the club but they will need to be booked in with the option to be transported to/from Minehead EYE Centre by parents or carers. If you are making your own way to, please arrive at Minehead EYE from 3:30pm.

Session Plans
The sessions are different each week, with a planned warm up and activity. As part of the session, we do a small 'challenge' which is scored and recorded and then at the end of the half term the winning school receives a certificate and a small prize. The children will enjoy a wide range of activities such as scooting, skating, climbing, bouldering, team games, circus skills and more!
