What parents say:
"My twins absolutely loved the madscience camp. We attended several sessions through the summer. This is the second year we have used them and I can honestly say they are brilliant! As a mum of an autistic child it is often hard finding activities / groups for my child but madscience totally took on board his “differences” and accommodated his needs brilliantly! We shall def keep booking. Keep up the great work it’s very much appreciated"

What parents say:
"Honestly never seen him beaming so much and so full of excitement from a holiday club! He goes here because this is something he wants to do. Picked my son up who’s almost 8 and saw him chatting away excitedly about their day with a new friend. I heard all about it all the way home and then the rest of the evening , loving the Minecraft, stop motion animation, robot building and all manner of coding thingmajigs that I don’t understand lol."

We have a great range of entertaining activities planned each holiday. We're all about playing outdoors, whatever the weather; being silly, having fun, making new friends and learning some new skills! Every day is different. We run specific activities in small groups throughout the day. These always include games, and also focus on learning new skills, communicating, making, playing & creating memories. We support a non-competitive environment, with a range of activities throughout the holidays to suit everyone - from the quiet and methodical to the louder and livelier.

We encourage a supportive and happy environment where the children can build friendships, succeed at new tasks and feel relaxed in a green, open space. We encourage physical, outdoor exercise throughout our gameplay to promote health and wellbeing.

What Parents Say
"Rowan in Bristol is amazing. We travel just over an hour each way to attend these days. My boy comes back full of tales of fun and adventure. Well worth it."
"My son has been 3 times this summer holidays. I don't officially need childcare but he chooses to go because it's so much fun and he always has a great time.
