Rocket Holiday Club - Sale

My child really looks forward to attending this club and always has a very enjoyable time there. The mix of activities is fantastic from sports to drama and dance. He always leaves in a very happy mood and wants to return the next day for more fun! The staff are very good, very enthusiastic and engaging with the kids. The staff always feedback at the end of the day which I really appreciate because it shows they care and are engaged.

Fantastic from start to finish

Fantastic from start to finish. My son has been to many different clubs and this is by far the best. We’ve been going for different holidays over two years. The coaches are ALL enthusiastic, friendly and professional. There are a range of activities , my son prefers non sport based so RC is perfect. He always comes out smiling and it’s just great we have somewhere so reliable. The booking process is very simple too. Can’t recommend enough overall

A team with warm hearts that shine through their faces

We have been so happy with the team at Manor High in Oadby. My daughter has had quite a difficult time at the hands of people who should be responsible for keeping children safe, and the experience is having such a negative impact on our lives. The Rocket Camp team have been so nurturing, understanding and altogether brilliant. Although my daughter still suffers with the idea of going to places, Roacket camp is the place that she is most excited to go to, always!! She feels safe there. Thank you all. We really appreciate you all.

Highly recommended!

Our son had a fantastic time at Meadowdale in Market Harborough. He was initially shy but the incredibly warm welcome from Fiona meant this soon gave way to thoroughly enjoying himself.
Truthfully, he didn’t tell us many details of his week at Meadowdale, but at drop off and pick up, I could see his confidence growing and he had clearly made friends.
He really wants to go back and I’m sure he will.
Thank you, Rocket, for a great week.

Best holiday camp we've used!

Honesty you guys are brilliant. My daughter loves the camps and the coaches and for us knowing that she's happy and well looked after is priceless. She's attended the Blaby camp since she was 6 and still loves it aged 9, nearly 10.
Keep up the great work!

Parents of neurodiverse children, please read.

I can’t find this advertised anywhere by this company, but if your child has an ECHP (Educational Healthcare Plan), your child is unlikely to be welcome at this holiday camp.

My wife and I dropped our son off at the North Cestrian campus in Altrincham and were asked to collect him within one hour.

When asked why, we were told it was because he was requesting to be accompanied to use the bathroom (he is 6 years old in a building he has never been in before) and because he has an EHCP at his school. Apparently this is “against their policy”.

For context, our son is on the autistic spectrum. This information was included on the sign-up form to the holiday club, so they were aware of this before taking payment.

That being said, he is by no means interpersonally or practically incapable or incompetent at age-specific tasks or communication. He has difficulty pronouncing certain speech sounds, a situationally-dependant fleeting attention span, may need to be told something once or twice more than some other children and is very physically active, but he is by no means severely disabled and is perfectly capable of being in a social setting with other children of varying age ranges, particularly in the presence of trained child minders. He has historically attended other after-school and holiday clubs with no problems.

When we arrived to collect him, he was playing nicely with some of the other children while the child minders sat watching at a distance.

I am unfortunately gutted by this organisation’s abrupt dismissal of, and arguably discriminatory attitude towards, my son.

My experience is that, if your child presents any kind of neurodiversity, even if marginal and more or less undisruptive, you will likely receive a call before long demanding their swift collection, accompanied by blurry, unspecific and ostensibly-impartial reasoning and feigned contrition.

If you are working parents or guardians and your work or other obligations require you to depend on child minding services during the school holiday period, and your child does not consistently behave in perfect accordance with an idealised picture of neurotypical traits across the board, you will have wasted your time and money and your child will be left feeling shunned and confused as to why they have been forced to leave the friends they have just made.

Overall a negative experience and I advise this company accurately markets their services as incapable of catering to children with any kind of neurodiversity.

It is a shame that you have submitted an unfair and false review which is a highly edited version of events to make us look bad.
 
To leave a review stating that we do not accept children with Autism or on an EHC plan is unfair, entirely false, and not what you were told yesterday. Your son was struggling with us and it was in his best interests and safety for him to be collected.

The reasons for his early collection were clear. These expectations and guidelines are also included in the confirmation email, which was sent to you at the time of booking, prior to your attendance. Specifically, children must be able to go to the toilet by themselves and must not run away from staff or be unable to follow safety instructions. 

The reason for his collection, as you were explained, is for your child's safety as he was running away from staff and leaving the activities. We do not have a staff member spare to dedicate as a 1-2-1, and if he were to run away it would put him and other children at risk. 

Unfortunately, he struggled with both running away and going to the toilet, and it is clear that he requires a 1-2-1, which is why it was asked if he is on an EHC plan to understand what measures his school are taking and if this was consistent. If a child has a 1-2-1 whilst at school, then they will need one with us, and this was not communicated prior to attendance. 

It is standard practice to share EHC plan with a child's carers and it is also a large part of the reason for having one, as it allows carers to understand the child's needs and how to support them. It would have been helpful to us if his plan was shared prior to attendance. The only information we were given by you was one word in his medical information, “Autism” which can mean a wide variety of needs or, in some, cases nothing extra.

To say that we do not want children who have Autism or who are on an EHCP is entirely false. We have many children with autism and SEN happily attend with us and, as you know, even the camp manager who was looking after your child yesterday has a sibling in a very similar situation to your child. We will always try our hardest with every child, but sometimes children require a different level of care for their own safety.

All of this could have been avoided if you had communicated the needs required for your child prior to booking, or prior to attending and we could have discussed ways we could help integrate him or understanding if he would have needed a 1-2-1 with us. It's also disappointing for you to leave the review after you mentioned to my colleague on the phone that you were expecting we would call, clearly this was not a surprise to you. 

I have also emailed this reply to you directly.

Meadowdale

I have two children attending Meadowdale Market Harborough Holidays club. They absolutely loved it. My girl, age 5, enjoyed the crafts, and my boy, age 9, enjoyed the ball games. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Definitely, we will keep coming to them. Thank you

Rocket Holiday Camp - Oadby

Both my girls loved going to the Oadby one, first time was over the summer holidays and this October half term being their second time. They've chosen this club over the other they've used. They've said they have so much more fun, so much more to do with choices, which includes indoor and outdoor activities. Staff are very friendly and fun. It's a very secure premise with codes for collections, providing peace of mind. I'd highly recommend rocket holiday camp.
