DfE Requirements are:
- available over the spring, summer and winter school holidays (not including half-terms)
- be a minimum of four hours long
- include a physical and enrichment activities
- include a free, healthy, nutritious and tasty meal
- educate children and their families about healthy eating

If you are unsure whether your child is eligible for a free YHH school holiday activity club please speak to your child’s education setting.
