February Half Term Holiday Scheme 2026 Come to one of the best and most unique childcare providers in Leicester. Here children can participate in anything from canoeing to high ropes, to archery to bushcraft. There is something for everyone. Children can do up to 5 activities in a day. Drop off can be as early as 8:00am with our Breakfast Club and can finish as late as 6:00pm with our late collection option. Give your children a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Valentines Day - Weave Together
This Valentine’s Day, join us for a unique Bushcraft experience designed for couples. Together, you’ll learn the art of willow weaving and create beautiful heart-shaped ornaments to take home as a lasting memory of your day.
Get Ready for PANCAKE DAY
Celebrate Pancake Day the LOPC way — outdoors, hands‑on, and gathered around the warm glow of an open fire!
Join us for a one‑off Pancake Day Fire‑Cooking Session, where participants will mix, flip, and cook their own pancakes over the flames. Whether you prefer classic lemon and sugar or want to get creative with your toppings, this is a fun, family‑friendly activity that brings people together in the great outdoors.
