Information for all families this winter

Please be advised during the winter holidays some of Portsmouth City Council's HAF providers offer pay as you go spaces throughout the city. These include sports, Santa visits, theatre, storytelling, laser tag, art workshops, day camps, and much more. More information is available here: https://www.pycportsmouth.co.uk/haffunpompey/haf-pay-as-you-go/

There are other providers, who are not hosting HAF Fun Pompey activities through Department for Education funding, who also offer pay as you go activities in the school holidays. This page is designed for HAF Fun Pompey providers only.

Some of our providers are OFSTED registered so you can use tax free childcare vouchers and if you are on Universal Credit you can back up to 85% of your eligible childcare costs for children under 17. Check out your childcare options here - https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

There are funded spaces for those on benefits-related free school meals (excluding school meals for reception - year 2) and pay-as-you-go spaces too!
