Beach Holiday Camp
Innovative Curriculum
Seaton Beach Camp runs throughout the main school holidays providing full days 8am to 5pm and half days 8am -12pm.
Imagine a day at the beach with adventures, activities and lots of fresh air (guaranteed to make them sleep). Not a device in sight all day! Den building, camp fires, wave jumping, bubble chasing, sandcastle building, ice cream Tuesday and fish and chip Friday are just part of the days. We also explore the coastal environment, incorporating environmental issues into the day, Beach Camp instills ecoconscious values from an early age, giving the children an appreciation for nature and understanding of the importance of preserving the delicate balance of coastal ecosystems. Cognitive development thrives even more outdoors as children are more physical, problem solving, stimulated to be creative and critical thinkers, all learnt from the classroom roofed only by the sky. After all the children are our Coastal Custodians of the future.
Drop off and pick up is at Seaton Carew Beach Huts (near the play park), where we eat our breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, take naps and have our toilet and changing facilities.

What is a Beach Nursery School?
A Beach Nursery School embraces the concept of learning through movement and the outdoor environment of the beach. This offers children a unique educational experience. Situated in beach huts for our indoor classroom and the beach as our outdoor classroom, this dynamic setting provides children the opportunity to engage with nature, fostering physical and cognitive development. The beach environment offers diverse sensory experiences from the feel of sand between their fingers and toes to the sound of the waves creating a totally immersive learning atmosphere.
Incorporating environmental issues into the curriculum, Beach Nursery Schools instil eco conscious values from an early age, giving the children an appreciation for nature and understanding of the importance of preserving the delicate balance of coastal ecosystems. The Beach School also covers all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and maths, literacy and phonics will all be taught by a qualified teacher every day. Cognitive development thrives even more outdoors as children are more physical, problem solving, stimulated to be creative and critical thinkers, all learnt from the classroom roofed only by the sky.
