Other holiday ideas.........

Do you need more ideas or alternatives for things to do for children in the holidays or need school holiday care solutions?

For school aged children, holiday playcare schemes can offer lots of different activities throughout the day and most are open each week day for much of the holiday. Many are also Ofsted registered

so are suitable if you are claiming help with childcare costs.

Did you know that you can ask for a list of holiday playcare schemes in your area by contacting our Enquiry Service by phone on

0114 275 6699 (Monday - Friday 9.00am - 4.00pm) or emailing us at info@sheffinfolink.org.uk

Enquiry shop closes its doorsWe are sad to say that our ‘drop-in shop’ at 11 Leopold Street

closed its doors for the last time at 12.30pm on Friday July 1st. We have been based there since 1999, and over the years our team has supported many thousands of local parents who were

just passing and thought they would pop in. Thank you to everyone who has come and seen us during that time – we

have enjoyed meeting you.

Although the drop-in has closed, we are pleased to let you know that we can still provide all the same quality family information

as before. We have increased the amount of sessions we do out and about and members of our team can be found regularly in community venues all over Sheffield. You can

also still call us on 0114 275 6699, or email us your questions at info@sheffinfolink.org.uk
