Outside, whatever the Wicklow weather
Programmes
Every afternoon delivers what parents value most: plenty of active time outdoors and homework completed before pick-up.
Our core. Running, climbing and games outside every single day, because active kids are happy kids, whatever the Wicklow weather.
A quiet, supported homework time with a helping hand, so it's done before you're home.
Team sports, races and playground games that channel after-school energy into action-packed fun.
Painting, drawing and fun themed crafts that inspire imagination and self-expression, and let every child make something to bring home.
Full days of outdoor activities in Greystones, from late June to mid-August when term-time finishes for the year.
A fun extra in the mix, hands-on building and simple experiments for when curiosity strikes.

Group Manager, both clubs
Why I started Always Active
"As a mum of three, I found it difficult to find an afterschool service that gave my children plenty of opportunities to be active while also supporting them to get their homework done. I wanted them to have fun, spend time outdoors and come home ready for us to enjoy our evenings together as a family. That experience inspired me to create Always Active, a place designed around what children enjoy and what busy families need."
Locations
Both run our term-time afterschool club; our summer camps run in Greystones. Pick the one nearest your child's school when you register your interest.
Fees & the National Childcare Scheme
The cost of your place is subsidised by the Government through the National Childcare Scheme (NCS). Always Active is a registered NCS provider, most families qualify for a subsidy toward their fees, and we'll help you claim yours when you register.

FAQ
Children from 4 to 15 years, from junior infants right up through primary and into early secondary.
Any combination of Monday to Friday during term-time. Pick the days you need when you register your interest and we'll confirm availability.
Every afternoon has a quiet, supervised homework time. Our team helps children work through what they've been set and checks it's done. How much gets finished depends on age and the day's workload, so some reading or spellings may occasionally come home to finish together.
The NCS is a Government subsidy paid straight to us, so it comes off your fee. Every child from 24 weeks to 15 years qualifies for the universal subsidy (EUR 2.14 an hour, up to 45 hours a week), and families under the income threshold can get more through the income-assessed subsidy. Not sure which? Try the NCS subsidy calculator. It works in five steps:

We're outside whatever the Wicklow weather, so a coat and a change of shoes are the everyday kit. When it's too wet or windy to be safe we move into the hall for indoor games, sports and crafts, and homework time carries on as normal.
Both clubs run right at or beside the schools we serve. Tell us your child's school when you register and we'll explain the arrangement for that site.
Full-day Summer Camps run through July and August. The next camp is Summer 2027, register your interest now and we'll be in touch when dates open.
