The Secret To Affordable Summer Holiday Clubs in 2025.
With rising childcare costs affordable summer holiday clubs seem like a distant memory. Many families are now having to fork out an average of £1076 per child for their summer holiday childcare!
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
At LSC, we believe high-quality and safe childcare shouldn’t cost the earth. That’s why we’re proud to offer affordable, flexible and fun-filled holiday clubs designed to support working families without the eye-watering price tag.
We’re going to show you exactly how you can:
- Slash childcare costs using tax-free childcare vouchers
- Access free holiday club places through HAF Programmes
- Discover exclusive LSC discounts and multi-day booking offers.
How Much Do Summer Holidays Really Cost?
Summer holiday clubs vary in price, depending on location, activity and duration of the day.
LSC offers summer holiday clubs in Greater Manchester, Crewe, Liverpool and Birmingham with prices starting from £21.75 per day.
A full day of childcare (from 8am – 6pm) costs £34 which break downs to just £3.40 per hour.
Here’s how we stack up compared to other options out there:
| Provider | Full Day Rate | Hourly Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| LSC Holiday Clubs | £34/day | £3.40/hr | Full day (8am–6pm), multi-week & Sibling discounts available |
| National Average (Clubs) | £35.80/day | £4.50–£5/hr | Based on £179/week average |
| Childminders (UK Avg) | £47/day | £9.40/hr | £234+/week for school holidays |
| Competitor Sports Club | £39/day | £4.88/hr | 8am–6pm, no additional offers |
The bottom line? With LSC, families can save up to £900 across the summer compared to childminders and up to £250 compared to other holiday club providers. And that doesn’t factor in additional savings through schemes like tax-free childcare vouchers or HAF.
Using Tax-Free Childcare To Pay For Holiday Clubs This Summer.
Like every other holiday club provider, LSC accepts Government tax-free childcare schemes to help lower the cost of summer holiday clubs.
Over the year, using tax-free childcare schemes can help you save £2,000 per child.
Get Free Holiday Clubs Through Holiday Activities and Food Programmes.
If your child receives benefit-related free school meals, you may be eligible for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programmes.
LSC are proud to be collaborating with local councils to provide these HAF Programmes this summer in Birmingham, Manchester and Stockport.
This scheme provides children with free places during the summer holidays with lunch included to help fight food poverty.
Multi-Day Offers and Sibling Discounts. How To Cut Your Costs Further.
