Our Story
We inspire, educate and empower young minds!
Inspiring confident, capable & creative young people
At Active Minds, our mission is to inspire confident, capable, and creative young people through fun, engaging, and purposeful holiday clubs. We offer a unique programme that combines dynamic sports, academic enrichment, and real-world life skills, giving children the opportunity to enjoy their holidays while learning valuable skills that genuinely support their personal growth.
We go beyond traditional holiday childcare by providing a wide range of physical activities, critical-thinking challenges, and personal development opportunities. Each club is designed to be enjoyable and stimulating, encouraging children to play with purpose, think creatively, and grow in confidence in a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment.
Why we started Active Minds
Active Minds was founded by a husband and wife team. As parents of four boys, we were all too familiar with the challenge of keeping our children active, engaged and happy during the school holidays. Like many parents, we wanted more than just childcare. We wanted our children to enjoy their time off, while learning meaningful skills that would genuinely support their confidence, wellbeing and future development.
With our combined experience of running a successful tuition and learning support centre in Harrow for over seven years, as well as being a school Governor, we saw how limited and inconsistent holiday provision could be. Parents are often left choosing between activities that are fun but lack purpose, or educational options that don’t fully engage children. We knew there had to be a better balance.
Active Minds was created to offer just that! Fun, engaging holiday clubs that keep children active, curious and motivated, while helping them develop essential life skills. Our programmes focus on confidence building, creativity, problem solving and wellbeing, all delivered in a safe, supportive environment.
As parents ourselves, we understand how important it is to know your child is happy, learning and growing. That is at the heart of everything we do.
