Jubilee’s holiday clubs provide a summer of fun Many of us have joyful memories from childhood of playing for hours with friends during the school holidays - riding bikes, playing in the woods and climbing trees. Jubilee’s holiday clubs for 5-11 year-olds promise fun-fuelled adventures on a daily basis with lots of unstructured play which is critical to children’s physical health and mental wellbeing. Jubilee Cadets is centred around Forest Schools philosophy and based in sublime woodland whilst Jubilee Jets is an activity based club with a fantastic range of games, sports and crafts on offer led by a caring, energetic team. You can choose a mix of both clubs throughout the holidays for maximum variety depending on your children’s wishes!

Limit children’s snacks to 100 calories twice a day Parents have been advised by health officials to restrict children to only two snacks of 100 calories or less per day to reduce sugar intake between meals. Recent research has found that half of children’s sugar intake is being consumed between meals. On average, children are consuming at least 3 unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks a day, with around a third of children consuming 4 or more. The overall result is that children consume 3 times more sugar than is recommended. The ‘100 calorie snacks, two a day max’ tip applies to all snacks apart from fruit and vegetables. To help parents make healthier choices Public Health England has developed ‘Be Food Smart app food scanner’ app that shows by scanning the bar code how many calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat is in the food they are buying.
