The final piece in the jigsaw for the services that Stepping Stones and William Barnes offer to parents is the holiday club. Ideal for families with two parents working, a holiday club would provide child care during school breaks, rather than just during term time as is offered at present. Making such a club financially viable is a major issue. At present, staff are unsure as to what the demand for this service in the town will be. In the near future, a questionnaire is planned to be distributed amongst parents at Stepping Stones and William Barnes, and also amongst the wider population within the town, to discover if there is a need in Sturminster Newton for a local holiday club and if that could be financially viable in the future.
