Published on
We’re delighted to launch our Summer Adventure Passport a free activity booklet packed full of fun, engaging, and educational challenges, specially created to support early development and encourage children to take part in a wide variety of activities over the summer.
The activities cover a range of key learning areas, suitable for 0-5s, including developing independence, playing and socialising, eating and drinking, speaking, listening and understanding, reading, writing, and fostering a love for learning.
Many of the activities can be completed with family members, providing a great
opportunity for quality time together. Parents and children will be able tick off each task together and earn a stamp for each completed activity, tracking their progress is an excellent way of helping children build their confidence, keep motivated and provides a sense of accomplishment.
Activity highlights include:
- Eating and Drinking: Explore healthy habits and new food choices
- Independence Skills: Practice getting dressed, washing and drying hands
- Playing and Socialising: Activities to build social skills and friendships
- Reading, Writing, Numbers and Counting: Fun tasks that lay the foundation for literacy and numeracy
- Speaking, Listening and Understanding: Sharing stories, developing communication
- Skills and Teamwork
“ This is a wonderful initiative to encourage children and their families to take part in a host of varied learning opportunities and fun activities over the long summer holiday.
However, the passport offers more than just fun activities—it serves as a valuable tool to support parents in preparing their child for school, while also providing families with helpful resources and guidance to ensure a joyful and enriching summer for every child.

Every child who is registered for a passport will automatically be entered into a prize draw to win a balance bike or scooter—perfect for those summer adventures. They will also receive a special certificate to celebrate their hard work and progress.
