🧡 This is an important one for Nottingham families.

There have been changes to HAF eligibility, and we know that may mean some families who have previously relied on funded holiday provision are now finding themselves in a really difficult position.

We have experience of single-parent life within our own team, so when we say we understand the school-holiday childcare juggle, we genuinely mean it.

But there’s something we really want families to know. 👇

🌲 Urban Bushcraft is now Ofsted registered.

That means eligible working families receiving Universal Credit may be able to book our holiday clubs as registered childcare and claim back up to 85% of their eligible childcare costs through Universal Credit.

So if you’ve recently discovered your child is no longer eligible for HAF, please don’t automatically assume you’re out of options.

Have a swipe through ➡️ and, importantly, check what support your family is entitled to.

And if you need information from us as your childcare provider to support your claim, just give us a shout. 🧡

🎃 Our October Survival, Folklore & Mystery Holiday Clubs are OPEN!

What do we do when there’s thunderstorms quite literally overhead ⚡️⛈️, evacuation isn’t the safest option and we’ve got 15 slightly terrified children trying to enjoy their last day of Holiday Clubs?!

WELL… we huddle together, stick a bitta Bob Marley on 🎶, cook up a batch of Carmen’s famous pancakes 🥞 and remain C A L M 🧘😆

Safe to say, Holiday Clubs went out with an actual BANG ⚡️ 😎

Yeah, we might all be feeling a little bit like Serena by the last day of Holiday Clubs… 🫠

But let me tell you a TIME was had 😎🙌

Serena?
SERENA?! 👀💀

This one’s for our Home Ed community! 🌿 🌸

For all of those who have helped with our woodland conservation efforts - particularly pulling Himalayan balsam THIS is why we’ve been doing it!

It’s really hard to explain to the children just how brilliantly (and violently 😂) Himalayan balsam disperses its seeds until you actually see it happen.

Those little seed pods quite literally EXPLODE, firing their seeds out around them and helping the plant spread like CRAZY through the woodland. 💥🌱

Feel free to show this to any of our crew who have been involved in our balsam-bashing missions this year - they can see for themselves exactly what we’ve been trying to stop!

And hopefully feel pretty proud knowing they’ve played a part in looking after the woodland too. 🧡

Another fantastic day for our Holiday Club crew 🔥🧡

Dance competitions 🪩 Mini expeditions 🧭 and a visit to the BEST neighbours in the world, .acres, where the children got to spend time with some very special animals. 🐐🐴🐓 🐷

Honestly… the smiles say it all. 🥹

We’re SO SO lucky to work alongside Alternative Acres and be able to offer experiences like this. It’s not every day children get the chance to slow down, connect with animals and ask ALL the questions

We were so proud of every single one of them today. The kindness, respect and gentle way they treated the animals was just lovely to see. These are the moments they’ll remember long after the summer holidays are over. 🌿🧡

Just 3 spaces available to join us tomorrow for our last adventure of the week
