How to book
If your child is eligible, you will be sent an email or text from 'Holiday Activities' explaining how to set up a 'Holiday Activities account', receive 'Holiday Activity vouchers' and use the 'Holiday Activity' booking system.
On your account, you will be able to see all available activities, dates and times, any age restrictions and suitability levels and book on to them using the voucher code.
Once an account has been created, parents or carers of eligible children will receive a 'Holiday Activities' code via text or email to use to book onto the sessions.
Each voucher code will equate to four, four-hour sessions, which will be displayed as four credits on your 'Holiday Activities' dashboard.
Haven't received a code?
If your child attends a Bury school and you do not receive a voucher code, please speak to the school office.
If your child attends a school outside of Bury, please contact the HAF team haf@bury.gov.uk and they will support with any queries.
Holiday club support - choosing activities for children with additional needs
In response to feedback, we have streamlined the booking process for the families of children with additional needs to make it clear what suitability support level is available at each holiday club.
So that you can choose activities with the most suitable support for your child, we have identified four key categories to clearly show the level of care that each of our holiday clubs can provide.
These range from Level 1 (mild needs, fairly independent), through to Level 4 (more severe needs, dedicated support needed).
About the four suitability support levels
This club will be suitable for children and young people who have mild needs, who are able to go to the toilet and eat their lunch with correct supervision but do not need direct support in doing so.
This level is suitable for children who do not present risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or others.
Please let the activity provider know any relevant information that may affect your child's experience.
This club will be suitable for children and young people who have moderate needs, those who may need direct support with personal care and may need one to one support with eating their lunch.
Please let the activity provider know any relevant information and/or a copy of the child's personal care plan in advance of the session.
This club will be suitable for children and young people who are known to demonstrate risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or others.
It would be expected that increased staffing numbers are a standard to accommodate the children's needs and requirements.
Please let the activity provider know any relevant information and/or a copy of the child's personal care plan in advance of the session.
This club will be suitable for children and young people who have moderate to severe needs, those who may need direct support with personal care and may need one to one support with eating their lunch.
These children and young people may also be known to demonstrate risky behaviours such as being of harm to themselves or others.
Please let the activity provider know all relevant information and provide them with a copy of the child's EHCP plan in advance of the session.
SEND providers
Providers offering SEND accessible activities give clear guidance of their provision to ensure you are well informed as to the suitability of the activities.
Please ensure that you give the provider as much information as possible relating to the level of support and care your child will need to enable them to give the best possible experience to your child.
Our providers do their utmost to support children with SEND where possible.

Due to the varying complexities of the children/young people's needs, at all our activities a parent/carer must stay to supervise their child/young person. This supports peer-peer support between parents/carers and helps promote a network of support and friendship for children/young people.
To meet the needs of the children/young people and to ensure a quality accessible offer, our activities are located in a variety of locations across Bury and the surrounding area.
