Please note: Children under the age of 3 will not be permitted to participate in the Tree House Holiday Programme. This policy is in place to ensure the safety, comfort, and appropriate supervision of all children in our care. Additionally, children showing any signs of being sick or having the flu will not be accepted into the programme. This is to safeguard the wellbeing of all participants and staff. In both cases, we will unfortunately have to contact the parent or guardian immediately to collect the child. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a fun and safe environment for everyone.

What to bring with: Rain jacket, a small snack, umbrella, gum boots, change of clothing and a water bottle. We have a couple of lunch box options available for kids, but parents are also welcome to send a packed lunch and snacks along with their children.

Note: We’re prepared for all conditions, with a seamless indoor setup if needed.
