Aktiva @ Devonshire House

Welcome to Aktiva Camps After School Care Services at Devonshire House School. We are delighted to be working at school to provide fantastic extended schools services and look forward to working with you and your children to create a stimulating and exciting service in a safe, fun and friendly environment. 

Aktiva Camps will host wrap around services on the school premises and will operate from the end of the school day until 6.00pm every day children attend school. Your children will be brought to the Hall in the main school site by their teachers where they will experience our multi-choice, multi-activity sessions. The Aktiva team get to know the children on an individual basis and together they plan inspiring and exciting activities that best meet the children’s needs and wants. The team will also devise active sessions that will inspire the children to try new things, building confidence and broadening their experience.  

Aktiva’s healthy and active sessions support children to learn and develop through play.  We are extremely proud of our high impact, high energy sessions designed to get your children moving after a day focusing in the classroom.  We provide arenas for creativity and expression of artistic talent. We provide eco-systems of free flow games and sessions where children can grow in skill and social networks.  

We place a lot of emphasis on our people, and we invest in their training to ensure they have all the skills, qualifications, and up-to-date knowledge they need to deliver the very best services for children, families and schools. 

We will provide a substantial snack which includes wraps and sandwiches, fruit, cheese and crackers and crudities/dips. Children are encouraged to help us plan our menus and contribute to selecting their favourite things.  Aktiva is a multi-choice multi-activity organisation. Weather dependent we will be getting them active outdoors with a range of activities for them to choose. We pre-plan each session with multiple activities for the children to participate in. Dependent on numbers at each session, children will be zoned into key stage in the space that we are using.
