We are a Community Interest Company (CIC), operating as a not-for-profit organisation.
All income is reinvested into the company to enhance our training, upgrade equipment, and provide enriching play experiences for the children—without passing the cost on to parents.
This includes activities such as cricket and tennis coaching, bouncy castle fun days during school holidays, and visits from organisations like Guide Dogs for the Blind, South Central Ambulance Service, and Hampshire Fire & Rescue.
We are celebrating our 20 years in business this year and have a fun event happening at Abbotswood Holiday club for the whole week of the 4th Aug 2025.
Meet The Owners
Helen and Sarah set up New Forest Child care in 2005, when they found themselves in an awkward situation with their sons leaving nursery and starting school and having no child care from school finish time. As parents themselves they only wanted the best for their own children, and other children joining them. The very first club they had was at Cadland Infants School, now a Primary School, and they are back there now, offering After School Care to the children from all local schools.
New Forest Child Care is a small business with emphasis on a home from home environment, whilst adhering to high standards of professionalism and child care. The clubs strive to be fully inclusive, and offer varied and fun activities across the group. The Company is a Community Interest Company where profits are ploughed back into the business to support staff training and facilities and resources for the children. We actively encourage promotion from within the business, and provide excellent training programs to allow progression for anyone wanting this option.
Meet Senior Management
Office hours are limited, but Helen and Sarah are now supported by a Senior team, with Emma at the head as Operations Director, herself supported by Robyn, who is a Senior Manager and the Company SEND & Inclusion coordinator.
Meet Club Managers
The Club Managers manage day to day activities and are on hand to assist with queries relating to their clubs, having dedicated emails and phone numbers to make contacting them easier. All of this is available on our web site www.newforestchildcare.co.uk.
