Our Ethos
At The Hangout Holiday Club, our ethos is simple: every child deserves a safe, inspiring place to enjoy their school holidays.
We believe that school holidays should be about more than just time off school. They should be about exploration, creativity, friendship, and growth. That's why everything we do at The Hangout is designed to encourage children to try new things, build their confidence, and, most importantly, have fun.

Our club is built on strong values of inclusion, care, and respect. We welcome all children aged 4 to 11 years old from across Harlow, Essex, and beyond. Creating a diverse community where every child feels valued. Whether it’s through messy arts and crafts, energetic outdoor games, or engaging STEM activities, we give children the freedom to express themselves and discover what they love.

Safety is at the heart of our ethos too. All of our staff are fully qualified, DBS-checked, and regularly trained to meet the highest standards of care and safeguarding. We follow strict health and safety protocols to make sure every child is looked after while they’re with us.
We also understand the importance of structure. That’s why our club runs in line with typical school day timings, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with early drop-offs and late collections available. This helps children maintain a familiar routine, making their transition from school to holidays smooth and stress-free.

Above all, we want The Hangout Holiday Club to be a place where children look forward to coming. Somewhere they can laugh, play, create, and be themselves — all while making memories that will last a lifetime.
