See What Our Customers say

Such a great holiday club, can’t recommend highly enough. My daughter started coming along to Havant Academy last summer and we are so pleased you could continue at Emsworth Primary. Great sports and activities with positive feedback and rewards! It’s so hard to find great safe holiday clubs. Today she had the hot lunch too which she said was amazing! Worth every penny and peace of mind whilst working

Active8 Minds facilitated our son’s 6th birthday party with a multi sports theme. Jed the facilitator was absolutely wonderful and all the children had an amazing time. Thank you so much for making it such an easy, special, fun party… and for the medals, certificates and sweets. Our son is already asking for an Active8 party for his birthday next year

My girls had their first day at Active8 Minds yesterday and have asked to go everyday bar school days! They both enjoyed the variety of games, entertainment and making new friends. The awards at the end are another bonus
