Active, Engaging & Fun-Filled Sessions

Physical activity is at the heart of everything we do! Our after-school clubs, holiday clubs, and wraparound childcare encourage children to stay active, develop new skills, and most importantly—have fun. From multi-sports and team games to exciting challenges and creative movement activities, we ensure every session is engaging and inclusive. Our passionate coaches introduce children to new and exciting activities, helping them discover hobbies they may not have tried before. By making physical activity enjoyable, we help children build confidence, improve coordination, and develop a lifelong love for staying active!

See What Our Customers say

“Really love the kids going to Active 8 Minds. They have built some great friendships with attendees and staff and enjoy all the activities.
Thank you for all you do”
Nicola Brown
“I was worried about putting my child into active8 because of the long days and how he would settle as he is very shy. Megan has been amazing and has helped with all my worries. He loves going and is upset when he cannot go, he also gets upset when Megan is on holiday!
They have helped him with his confidence, his reading and his creativity to name a few.
Megan has also been a great support to myself when my husband has been working away, she doesn’t just care about the children but the parents too
I will forever be grateful for all the support and guidance they have given to all my children and myself. I wish that active8 were at my child’s new school, but we will always have fond memories of his time with Megan and the rest of the active8 team”
