Edinburgh Pentland Summer Camps

About

OSCARS Summer Camp at Pentland is open to Primary school children ages 5-12 and from any school. We offer a variety of organised activities to suit each age group. Children can come along on their own or in a group. Either way, they are guaranteed to meet new friends. Our friendly qualified staff will ensure your children get the best out of their time at OSCARS.

At OSCARS we pride ourselves on our exemplary safety record.

Our childcare services are registered with the Care Inspectorate, therefore our premises, facilities and staff meet the regulations and standards associated with this registration.

Our premises are extremely secure to keep children safe and protected during their time with OSCARS.

All of our staff are trained in first aid to deal with any incidents that may occur while children are in our care.

Children are supervised by our trained staff at ratios of 1 adult to 8 children.
