“It’s the third year at XUK for my two older children and every year they come
back enthusiastic. XUK is an amazing experience.” Mrs Wagner
Our aim is to safely and compassionately deliver
outstanding childcare. We pride ourselves on letting kids and
teenagers thrive in a supportive and nurturing environment.
We have been running summer camps and schools for over 20 years
and still feel that buzz of excitement and the butterflies on the first
day. Our own children being old enough to join the fun makes it even
more special!
At the heart of XUK is a homely and unique experience which is
comforting for children, staff and parents alike. It is truly uplifting to see
so many familiar and friendly faces return year on year.
If you wish to speak with us further, we are only an email or phone call
away and are always delighted to hear from you!
