2025 CLUB HUB TOP 100 CHILDREN’S ACTIVITY PROVIDERS ANNOUNCED

Club Hub is delighted to announce the ‘Top 100 Children’s Activity Provider’ for 2025. Local

business owner Toby Ward-Smith who runs South Side Theatre Academy was named number 32 in

the whole of the UK.

A first of its kind for the children’s activities industry. The official list was announced throughout

the day at the Club Hub Event 2025 on Saturday 10th May in Birmingham.

Business owners applying had to be an active children’s activity provider and a registered club

hub member to enter. They also had to be the person physically teaching the classes or

activities in the UK.

Entries for ‘Top 100 Children’s Activity Providers’ were assessed by expert judges, focussing on

five key areas: activity benefits, safeguarding, inclusivity, community impact and business

achievements. Each question was marked 1-20, giving a total overall score out of 100.

Thank you to our 2025 Top 100 judges; Bradley Flavien, Julia Clark, Antonia Noble, James

McDonald, Nicole Bateman, Tamara Holland and Cerys Keneally. The standard of applications was very high and represented a diverse range of kids activities, clubs and attractions.

The list will also be a useful tool for parents and carers, as they will know that the providers

have demonstrated the benefits of their activity for participants as well as excellent levels of

commitment to, and compliance with safeguarding and inclusivity.
