Egg-cellent Easter fun at Oscars

Published Wednesday, 21st March 2018

PARENTS IN Hartlepool are reminded about an action-packed fortnight of fun for children at Oscars during the April half term break.

The Hartlepool Council-run Oscar club is based at Rossmere Youth Centre on Rossmere Way and offers an exciting package of activities for children aged 3 to 16, running from Tuesday 3 April until Friday 13 April.

Under 8 activities at oscars

Each day parents are able drop off their children from 8.00am with breakfast provided for them on arrival. They then embark on an egg-citing day of activities prior to being collected by parents by 5.45pm.

The Easter-themed fortnight of fun hops into action with a toy and activity morning, where children can embark on an egg hunt, compete in colouring competitions and bake a rocky road using one of their own Easter eggs.

Throughout the fortnight, youngsters will have the chance to craft an array of spring insects, complete a scavenger hunt at Rossmere Park and awaken their inner witch and wizard at a Harry Potter-themed day of potion making and broomstick racing.

Sandra Robinson, the Council’s Out of School Coordinator, explains: “Children always have a fantastic time during our Easter half term fortnight of fun.

“Our team works hard to develop exciting and engaging activities suited to all ages, and our facilities here at Rossmere Youth Centre are excellent, enabling us to organise numerous sports, arts and craft activities and much more.

“No matter what, the emphasis is on fun at Oscars and parents can relax knowing that their children are enjoying themselves and are in safe hands.

“We encourage parents to get in touch as soon as possible to book their children a space for what is sure to be an egg-citing Easter break.”

The service, which has been running for over 20 years, was hailed as “outstanding” by Ofsted inspectors.

Oscars also operate an after-school service on weekdays which involves children being collected from school and transported to the centre where they take part in a wide range of educational and fun activities. Parents then have until 6pm to collect their children.

Anyone wishing to book, view facilities at Oscars or requiring further information should email sandra.robinson@hartlepool.gov.uk or call 07771 936968.
