Welcome to Holiday Squads!
Creative Holiday Fun for 5-13 year olds
Creative Adventures All Summer Long!
Step into five weeks of creative storytelling, character chaos, big imagination, and hands-on fun as we explores Minions, Paddington, and Toy Story.
At BHVA, we don't just entertain - we create!
Our Holiday Squads are fun, full-day sessions where children aged 5-13 can explore drama, art, and stop-frame animation in a safe, welcoming space.
Led by our friendly team of creative coaches, each session gives young people the chance to express themselves, build confidence, and try something new - no experience needed. Every child is supported as an individual and encouraged to share their voice, their way,
We believe creativity is for everyone. That's why our Holiday Squads are designed to feel less like childcare and more like an adventure.
Pick individual days or book all three each week - it's up to you.
Childcare vouchers accepted.

Five Weeks. Three Creative Adventures
Across the summer holidays, we will be inspired by Minions, Paddington, and Toy Story.
Weeks 1 & 2: Minion Mayhem
A week of silly missions, big reactions and creative chaos where children get to turn playful energy into drama, musical theatre and stop-frame animation. They will create characters, solve funny problems, work as a team and bring their own mischievous stories to life — all while building confidence, communication and imagination without it ever feeling like “learning”.
Week 3: Paddington’s Big Adventure
A warm, story-led week full of travel, kindness, curiosity, and creative problem-solving. Children will explore Paddington-inspired adventures through drama, musical theatre and stop-frame animation as they create characters, build scenes and discover how stories can help them express ideas, work with others and find their place in the world.
Weeks 4 & 5: Toy Story Adventures
A playful Toy Story-inspired week where favourite toys, forgotten characters and big “what if?” Ideas come to life. Children will use drama, musical theatre and stop-frame animation to create their own toy box adventures, explore friendship and teamwork, and build confidence through stories they have helped shape from the very beginning.
Each day follows the same steady structure: warm up, explore, build, reflect and finish calmly - so children feel secure while they stretch themselves creatively.
