NEW – This year, from listening to the children and you the parents, to make things more entertaining for the slightly older children, for an extra £5 a day. Children currently in Year 4 at school, and over, can be booked into an exclusive ‘Wild Rockets’ session ran by Wild Woolaston Leader and ex Royal Marine, Nick Davey. These extra sessions will run AM and PM and your child will be included on one of them during their Mini 🚀 day. See dates below for session details in (brackets).
They will run from 09.30 – 12.00 and 13.00 – 15.30.
In Feb, Nick will be focusing on Outdoor First Aid Skills.
If you just want to book your child into ‘Wild Rockets’ for an AM or PM slot, that would be fine, and would be £12 per child.
Nick has also mentioned the possibility of a Mini Rockets Camp out to finish off the Summer Holiday activities so watch this space!
Last year we did have fully booked days with numbers capped at 40, so please book early for any sessions, I wouldn’t want your children to miss out.
I look forward to taking your bookings, and if you do have any questions, just ask!

‘Engaging children in physical activity and, importantly, keeping them engaged is one of the biggest challenges faced by the health and fitness sector, but it seems they have achieved this with great success. It’s brilliant to see they look beyond simply being more active and have extended their programme to help young people have an increased enjoyment of exercise, self esteem, body image and confidence’

Three happy Children
Our three absolutely loved their day with Mini Rockets. I can't recommend Chris Powell and his Mini Rockets team enough. Thanks for providing such a fun filled, action packed day. We have three very happy, yet totally exhausted children.
My sons first time
My sons first time at Mini Rockets today. He loved it. Thank you everyone who helps out and runs it. I will book him in for the full day next time.
Action packed day
Grace had an amazing day today at Mini Rockets, she didn't want to come home! Thanks once again for giving her an action packed day that you wouldn't normally get with other kids clubs
Absolutely loved it
I was a bit nervous about leaving Isabelle as this was her first time at Mini Rockets having only started school this time. I had no need to worry she absolutely loved it and it really got her outside and doing things she doesn't normally do. She's made lots of friends and had a wonderful time and even got a bit muddy!! Thank you to Zoe and the team for taking such great care of her. See you next holidays!
Highly recommended
The kids love Mini Rockets! They haven't stopped talking about it since being home!! Lots of fun all day long. Highly recommended!
Kids loved it
Kids loved it, great pace to the day, lots of praise plus friendly and inspiring staff! (Kids will sleep well tonight)
