Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Staff are very friendly especially Sophie who my daughter knows from her gymnastics after school club. My daughter loved it at the holiday club and told me all the activities she had done that day.

For two weeks

For two weeks, my two boys attended a new school, unfamiliar with both the environment and the people, and placed in separate groups, yet they had an amazing experience. The coaches were supportive and welcoming, and they enjoyed the daily and weekly awards. We are grateful for providing such a safe and enjoyable atmosphere in these unpredictable times—it was a wonderful and fun adventure!

Easter Hols review

My boys went for 2 days over the easter holidays at school of play in Monton. They absolutely loved going and the staff were fantastic - warm and engaging. They were outside and active all day which I feel is so important! Thank you so much - the boys cant wait to go back!

‘The Best Club In The World ’

My daughter has been attending the ‘Create’ Holiday Club classes and absolutely loves it! She comes home happy, with so much joy in telling us about what she’s done and showing us the things she’s made and been a part of. ‘The best club in the world’ according to her. Thank you School of Play!

Kids Summer Camps Altrincham

I think, I made a right decision for my child. This summer camp helped my child to learn new things. He loves to spend more time in sports and other activities instead of using smartphones.

Great work!!!

I could not recommend this company…

I could not recommend this company enough, my 8 year old has been going to school of sport since it opened at Urmston school. The coaches are all amazing with the children and I feel so at ease to talk to them and leave my daughter in their care. My daughter had build confidence, skills and friendships and I honestly couldn’t thank them enough for all they have done for her.
Though out the 6 weeks holiday they have worked above and beyond making sure the children are safe.
She looks forward coming back every school holidays.
Thank you to all your team

A great team keeping our 6-year-old entertained and active

A great team keeping our 6-year-old entertained and active during the long summer holidays.
With a wide variety of activities, Vivienne enjoys every day and is trying out lots of different sports, no matter the weather. Both Ashlea and George’s enthusiasm and energy create a great atmosphere for all.
Extremely impressed with Ryan and the direction is he taking SoS; the new online booking system a reflection of how they continue to provide an excellent service.

5* we will be back

My 2 lads went for 2 weeks, despite being at a school they’d never been to before, not knowing any anyone and being in different bubbles they loved it.
The coaches are friendly and encouraging,They loved the daily and weekly winners and had a fab time.
Thanks for making them feel so safe and happy during these bonkers times - it was lots of fun 😀

My two 5 year old boys went to Holiday…

My two 5 year old boys went to Holiday Club last week and absolutely loved it! They wouldn't stop talking all about what they had done and loved receiving certificates for their achievements. They have also had tennis sessions over the summer and went to football club at Davyhulme Primary before lockdown. All of the staff seem great. The boys have been full of praise for the staff and all the activities. They can't wait to go to Holiday Club again!

Great coaching

My 10 year old has 1 on 1 coaching sessions which he not only enjoys but his ability has also improved massively! Ryan is very enthusiastic and is great with keeping the sessions fun with a huge range of different training accessories which are all sanitised before and after the session

This is a well thought through and organised holiday club. It was the first time for my 6 & 9 year old and they both loved it. The staff are enthusiastic and energetic. We’ll definitely be booking again

Caring

Caring, professional and full of fun . My main priority was to enable a little socialising in a time when my child hasn’t been able to socialise for a long time on a day to day basis. It’s important that the rules are adhered to and school of Sport go above and beyond in both safety and fun. My child was apprehensive by day 2 , but had huge reassurances given and couldn’t wait to go back on day 3! Very tired and happy child after 3 days here. Thank you!

A week of fun and aching legs!

As always the kids loved every minute, this week, even though lockdown had left them slightly less fit than normal and they both had aching legs after day 1, lol!! In these unusual times, Ryan and his team were able to keep my children both entertained and safe. I love the ethos of School Of Sport but also how it is practically run. Well done, I know it can't be easy.
