Our Story

In brief, the story began in 2013, following the successful acquisition of ‘Schools out Wilmslow’.

Based at Wilmslow Preparatory School; we built a network of local childcare professionals delivering, ‘Good, with Outstanding Elements’, Ofsted regulated wraparound care. (Ofsted Inspection one, in 2014).

Holiday Zone rarely advertised; our care provision has grown organically within our community. By summer 2015 we had over 600 local Wilmslow parents enrolled with our services and we were catering for 50-80 Children a day.

In April 2017 we applied for and were successfully granted our first Cheshire East Panel Contract. Accordingly, Holiday Zone became an approved Cheshire East Council Childcare provider. The contract awarded was for seven-years wraparound care at Ashdene Primary in south Wilmslow, references are available on request from all our schools.

We now have over 1500 registered families enrolled at Cheshire Childcare Alliance, our team of qualified educators cater for over 150 Children a day, every day.  Many of the original 2013 team are still with us, which is great for the children, we’ve all enjoyed the privilege of watching many of our children grow. The bonds many share with our team are special, and testament to the care and passion they bring to their roles.

In April 2019, we added Wes Brown (Formerly of Manchester United & England) Football Academy and afPE Primary Sports & PE and PPA cover to our services.

This has been very successful; we are now operating in several local schools and our first WBFC Under 12s team is set to launch in September 2020.

Finally, in September of 2019, we purchased our first Day care Nursery. Situated again in Wilmslow, on the wonderful Wilmslow Preparatory School site, we provide care for 30 children a day aged 6 mths to 3 years. It was at this point, Darren & Natalie felt a change of company identity was required, as Holiday Zone became Cheshire Childcare Alliance Ltd.

The success of our organisation has been child driven, we place our children at the centre of every decision we make, just like parents! From recruitment, to training, to quality of care and education. We believe it is this child focused approach, putting children first, always, which has led to our success.
