About Busy Kids

Our Mission

Busy Kids was created to solve a problem every parent faces: finding quality activities and courses for their children. With thousands of providers across the UK offering everything from sports clubs to coding classes, music lessons to art workshops, the challenge isn't finding options—it's finding the right options for your child.

We believe every child deserves access to opportunities that help them discover their passions, develop new skills, and reach their full potential. Our platform brings together the UK's most comprehensive collection of verified training courses, clubs, competitions, and apprenticeships for young people aged 4-18, all in one easy-to-search location.

What We Do

Busy Kids aggregates and curates opportunities from hundreds of trusted providers across the United Kingdom. We don't just list courses—we organize them in ways that make sense for busy families:

  • By Interest: From STEM and sports to arts and music, find activities that match your child's passions
  • By Location: Search by city, postcode, or browse our interactive map to find opportunities near you
  • By Age: Filter courses appropriate for your child's age and developmental stage
  • By Schedule: Find term-time clubs, holiday camps, weekend workshops, and flexible options
  • By Provider: Discover reputable organizations offering quality programs

How We're Different

Unlike other platforms that focus on a single category or region, Busy Kids provides comprehensive coverage across all interests and locations. We've built intelligent tools to help you not just find activities, but plan your family's schedule:

  • Schedule Builder: Create a visual weekly calendar showing all your children's activities
  • Learning Pathways: Discover curated progression routes for different interests and career goals
  • Smart Search: Use natural language to find exactly what you're looking for
  • Verified Providers: We work with established, reputable organizations

  • Regular term-time clubs and classes
  • Holiday camps and intensive courses
  • Weekend workshops and one-off events
  • Online and in-person options

For Parents

We understand that finding and managing children's activities is just one of many demands on your time. That's why we've designed Busy Kids to be as simple and efficient as possible. Search once, find everything. Compare options side-by-side. Build your family schedule. All in one place.

Whether you're looking for after-school care, want to nurture a specific talent, or simply need to keep your children engaged during the holidays, we're here to help you find the perfect fit.

For Providers

If you run a training organization, club, or offer courses for young people, we'd love to feature your programs on Busy Kids. We help quality providers reach families who are actively searching for opportunities like yours.

Our platform gives your courses visibility across multiple search dimensions—by category, location, age group, and schedule—making it easier for the right families to find you.

Our Commitment

We're committed to maintaining the most comprehensive, accurate, and useful directory of youth opportunities in the UK. We regularly update our database, verify provider information, and continuously improve our search and planning tools based on user feedback.

Every child is unique, with their own interests, learning style, and pace of development. Our goal is to help you find opportunities that match your child's individual needs and help them thrive.
