Christmas Holidays at the Vines – Yes, we’re open

The end of the year is fast approaching; therefore, and we need to start looking at Christmas Holidays so that we can let our lovely staff have some time off.

Please fill out the form as soon as you can, as we want to have a rough idea of whether your child/ren will be attending over the Christmas and New Year period. We are open throughout the two-week period, but we have reduced hours: 8.30 am to 4.30 pm.

We are aware that life can change at any given moment, so it’s fine if you change your minds

Social connection is crucial for our well-being

It brings purpose and a sense of belonging to our lives, helps us feel valued, and makes us happier and more secure. Evidence shows that activities involving social interaction matter — actions like volunteering, shared learning, physical activity, cultural practices, and community events consistently have a positive impact on mental health and well-being.
