Children can freely play outside, taking advantage of the school facilities including adventure play areas where they are available. We also provide equipment such as skipping ropes and sports equipment, as well as go-karts and scooters at some clubs too.

Our Objective - Aim of Happy Days Clubs
We aim to provide a safe, stimulating and happy place for children to be, and an easy way for parents to ensure their children are well cared for in the hours either side of school. We achieve our objectives by:
- Having dedicated staff who ensure the needs of all children who attend the breakfast and after school club are met
- Providing the children with a healthy breakfast before school and healthy snacks after school.
- Our staff act as role models and interact with the children to help them develop mentally, physically and creatively
- Ensuring parents are involved as much as possible in the club through consultation
- Ensuring that as a club we strive to meet best practice benchmarks through staff training and continuous professional development
Activities
At Happy Days Club we believe play is essential to each aspect of a child's development. In our Breakfast Clubs in North West London, children have the opportunity to interact with other children of different ages, thereby strengthening their social confidence.
Staff provide a child-led environment, allowing the children to make choices from the varied activities on offer which are supervised at all times: team games, arts and craft sessions and organised outdoor/indoor sports.
Our Happy Days staff plan activities ahead of time using the children's input, being led by their interests but with the flexibility to adapt when necessary. We also ensure that we incorporate celebrations, events and festivals to develop their understanding of the world.
Each day there will be a selection of both adult led and child initiated activities. These may include:
- Board games
