Easter Holidays & Spring Term Newsletter 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

Please find below our Easter Holiday Booking Form and Spring Term Newsletter.

We will be changing the gate code later next week, so please keep an eye on your Famly Newsfeed for the updated information. A reminder that your child should NEVER be told the code.

A small number of families are still not accessing the Famly app. It really is the best way to stay up to date with everything happening at Treetops. You can message us directly, check your account, view invoices and make Tax-Free Childcare payments — all in one place.

If you have misplaced your original welcome email or would like us to resend your login details, please just let us know and we will happily arrange this.

With best wishes,
Julia and the Treetops Team

Autumn Newsletter and October Half Term

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been wonderful to see the children settling so well into their routines at Treetops. A special welcome to all our new children and families who have joined us this term – we are delighted to have you as part of the Treetops community.

We also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us over the summer. Our Holiday Club was an amazing success, blessed with lots of sunny weather, fun games, creative activities and plenty of laughter. It was a joy to see the children enjoying themselves and making new friendships.

Looking ahead, bookings are now open for the October Half Term, including the PD Day on Friday 24th October. Places are limited and we strongly recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

We are also pleased to share some positive news – the Government has confirmed that HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) funding has been extended for the next three years. The next funded sessions will take place during the Easter Holidays (4 days). If you are eligible, your child’s school will provide you with a code to access a funded place.

Our Autumn Newsletter is attached and also the holiday booking form. Paper copies are also available to collect from Treetops if you prefer.

We say goodbye to Jules who is off to London to pursue her passion in acting, we will certainly miss the vibrancy she brought to the team. We say hello to Caitlin and Ethan who started working over the summer holidays and will continue to work during term time.

As always, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to another fun and busy term together at Treetops.

Best wishes,
Julia & the Treetops Team

🦋 May Half Term 🦋

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are now open for bookings for May half term. Lots of interesting cooking and art projects are planned. For those parents who may not have used holiday childcare before, we are very child centred and allow children to join in with the optional activities on offer rather than expect them to join in whole group activities. As well as the planned activities we also allow them to be outside as much as the weather permits.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you need childcare of this holiday by retuning the form below or pick up a booking form from Treetops.

For those planning to use us in the summer holidays please note we will not be open Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd September. We are having the incredibly talented artist Rory McCann paint a mural in our Treetops room! Our Summer holiday programme will be open Monday 22nd July to Friday 30th August.

The new academic term starts on Wednesday 4th September when we open for before and after school sessions.

If you need to make any changes to your September bookings please let us know as soon as possible.

❤️ February Half Term ❤️

Dear Parents,

Happy New Year, I hope you all had some lovey family time over the Christmas holidays.

It seems just a moment ago and now we are thinking about February Half Term!

As Mereside School has 2 PD Days either side of February Half Term we will also be open for those days as well.

We have lots of lovely activities planned including art and craft and cooking activities. If you have not used holiday care before, we open during every holiday (except Christmas) from 7.30am to 6pm. You can book any hours between those times and our current fees are on the website. Please return the booking form below (link to PDF) or collect a form from Treetops.

If you use us for after school care you will have met Jules who is covering for Katy (on maternity leave) and Marina is covering breakfast club. We also welcome another new member of staff, Lizzy, to the team towards the end of January.

With best wishes,

Julia
