About YMCA Y-Kidz
Why Choose Us
We are proud to have established partnerships with a variety of schools in Derbyshire. Our highly-qualified and experienced team provide quality, cost-effective and tailor-made sessions. The team have specialisms in several areas such as Physical Education, childcare, music and dance.
We believe an essential part of children’s development is learning through play. Our childcare offers an inclusive and safe environment for all young people regardless of needs, background, abilities or interests.
What We Do
Our popular Y-Kidz programme aims to help children increase their confidence and self-esteem. We do this through a wide range of activities at breakfast and after-school sessions (‘wraparound care’), lunch clubs and holiday activity clubs.
In addition, we provide a variety of services for schools in the form of PPA-cover, teaching assistants, physical literacy, lunchtime support and other bespoke services as requested.

Testimonials
“We have been so impressed with the professionalism and the quality of teaching that YMCA Derbyshire have brought into our School. Mr Roberts (the coach) delivers positive, fun and active lessons which engage all pupils.
Mr Roberts is confident to teach 4-11 year old’s and this provides our children with a unique opportunity as many providers organise clubs for 6-11 year old’s. We are delighted with the service, in particular, the flexibility. The busy nature of our school environment means that Mr Roberts adapts well to the different changes that come his way. We would happily recommend YMCA Derbyshire to my partner schools.”
Teaching Staff
Longmoor Primary School
“Since I arrived at Markeaton just over three years ago, our partnership with YMCA has gone from strength to strength. And in so many ways, it is a partnership built on honesty, compromise and what is best for the children of Derby.
Markeaton has always been rooted in strong community values and we feel that our partnership with YMCA only enhances this profile. There is no desire to achieve anything more or anything less than the YMCA and everything we do, we do together – long may it continue.”
Mr Ian Johnson, Headteacher
