We are a leading provider of out of school childcare for children aged 4 to 11 years of age, with a proven track record of working in effective partnership with schools to deliver a high quality experience for families across Hampshire.

Creative Kidz is small privately owned family partnership consisting of husband and wife team Kelly and Brian. Our first Creative Kidz out of school club was developed and established in July 2004. The setting was based within Hamble Memorial hall. Within a few months the club was fully booked with a waiting list.

We are now running from 7 sites in and around the Southampton area of Hampshire.

All of our settings are with registered with Ofsted Standard for Education on the Early Years register and both the voluntary and compulsary parts of the Childcare register.

Please take a few minutes to look around our website and contact us if you would like to discuss your specific requirements.

Thank you for looking.

As working parents ourselves, we have an excellent understanding of children's lives and their social contexts. We support and encourage personality development, independence and creativity. Developing social interaction and an understanding of inclusion are also top priorities.

Evidence indicates, high quality childcare provision during the foundation years has a lasting impact on a children’s future learning and life chances. 

Increasing demands are being made on child care facilities, as of course, we want the very best for our children right from their very first learning experiences. In addition, there is now a marked trend towards intellectual education for children, but still children also need to play, use thier energy, get enough exercise and discover who they are.

Our settings achieve all of these objectives by offering plenty of opportunity for play, exciting and engaging resources and a staff team who will offer your child an experience they will remember. We provide a wide range of play opportunities for the children that help them develop valuable life long skills.
