What a lovely start to the day at Chudleigh FISH! 🥓

This morning it was Chudleigh’s turn to enjoy our special bacon sandwich breakfast, and they went down a treat! 😋 There’s nothing better than starting the school day with happy faces, full tummies and time spent with friends.

We love creating these little moments that make breakfast club extra special. 💙

Take a look at the photos and see some of the smiles from this morning! 📸

An afternoon full of fun at Cranbrook!

We’ve packed the afternoon with lots of fun activities, team games, moon dough making and, of course, lots of smiles! 😄

There’s always something happening at FISH — from team games and creative activities to plenty of time to have fun with friends. 🥳

What a brilliant afternoon! 💙🐟

🌞 We’ve had a lovely morning at our St Martin’s Breakfast Club!

After a yummy breakfast, the children enjoyed getting outside for some fresh morning air and a bit of time to play and explore before heading into school. 💚

A great way to start the day! 🌿😊

🥓 GOOD MORNING!!! 🥓💙

This morning it was bacon sandwich morning at Two Moors Breakfast Club! 😋

The children enjoyed their bacon sandwiches in either a soft brioche roll or a classic sandwich — the perfect little treat to start a Thursday morning! 🥪🥓

There were certainly plenty of happy faces around the breakfast table! 😊💙

We hope everyone has a lovely Thursday! ☀️

We’re back!

It’s been fantastic to welcome the children back to Breakfast Club and After-School Club for the first week of the new school year!

Today at St David’s, the children have been making the most of the lovely sunshine and spent most of their After-School Club session enjoying the fresh air and playing outside. 🌳⚽️☀️

It’s so lovely to see everyone back, catching up with friends, enjoying lots of fun activities and settling back into the FISH routine.

🌟 Welcome Back to FISH – A Big Hello to New & Returning Families! -

I had hoped to get our welcome-back letter out to you during normal office hours today, but it has been one of those days, and we’re only just finishing up in the office! It’s been a long one — especially as we were up and out at 6am this morning getting our last Breakfast Club ready to we...

☀️ AND JUST LIKE THAT… SUMMER IS OVER! ☀️

We can’t believe it’s the last day of FISH Holiday Club! 😭 Where has the summer gone? In the blink of an eye, we are busy cleaning and packing everything away, ready for the next holidays!

What a summer it has been! 💛 We’ve had an absolutely amazing few weeks, and the weather certainly decided to join in this year! 😎 We’ve been so lucky to have had so many beautiful summer days, making it possible to enjoy even more time outside, getting active, playing games and making the most of every minute — and creating plenty of memories that we hope your children have taken home with them. 🌈☀️

A HUGE thank you to every single one of our amazing FISH children for making this summer so special. ❤️ You really can’t beat working with kids! They come out with the funniest comments, bring so much fun, energy and enthusiasm, and we’ve absolutely loved having them with us!

And, of course, none of this would be possible without our incredible FISH team. 💙 Our playworkers have worked so hard throughout the summer heat to create exciting days, keep everyone safe, get involved in the fun and make sure every child feels welcome. You’ve been brilliant! 👏

It’s always a little bit emotional when the final day arrives, even after 19 years. We watch children arrive at FISH for their very first summer, make new friends, grow in confidence and throw themselves into everything we have planned — and then, suddenly, it’s the last day! 🥹

It’s also so lovely to see some of our playworkers who attended FISH themselves when they were younger, including our youngest son, who is now working with us, along with our oldest daughter. My brother, who normally works at a PRU school, has also been able to support some of our children who can struggle in larger settings.
We’re incredibly proud to be a family business where everyone gets involved. ❤️

Thank you for another unforgettable summer. 🥰

Now it’s time for our team to put their feet up for a couple of days and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend! 🌞
📅 Our office will be closed over the Bank Holiday weekend and we’ll be back in the office on Friday 4th September.

From all of us at FISH…
THANK YOU for an amazing summer! 💛

🌟 From FISH Kid to FISH team member – and now onto an exciting new chapter! 🌟

Today we’re celebrating Harry, who has been part of the FISH family for an incredible 12 years!

Harry first joined FISH when he was just four years old, coming along to our holiday clubs with his sister, Alice. He spent his childhood enjoying the clubs with Claire (pictured left as his keyworker) until he eventually became too old to attend.

But that wasn’t the end of Harry’s FISH journey…

At 16, Harry returned to FISH — this time as a play assistant — and then for the last two years he has been working as a playworker with our holiday club teams while studying for his A-levels.

We are incredibly proud to say that Harry smashed his A-levels with fantastic results and is taking the next exciting step in his journey, starting an engineering apprenticeship with Devon County Council . 👏🎓🔧

It is genuinely lovely to see how much Harry has grown and progressed. We remember him as a little boy coming into FISH with Alice, and he was always polite, friendly and kind. Those qualities have stayed with him as he has grown into the fantastic young man he is today.

Although we’re very sad to see Harry leave us, we couldn’t be more excited to see what the future holds for him. His new apprenticeship is a fantastic opportunity, and we know he will do brilliantly.

From being a FISH kid at just four years old, to helping the next generation of FISH children I wonder how many of the kids that are in today will join us as playworkers in the years to come??! 🥹💙

Thank you for everything, Harry. We’re incredibly proud of you and wish you every success for the future. Go and smash it! 🚀

Dan, Sarah, Claire michelle and all the fish team💙
