'Children very much enjoy their time at this well-organised and welcoming club' - Ofsted June 2024
An inspector has praised our St Helen's after school and Holiday club provision. After a visit in June 2024, she commented:
'The manager and supervisors provide the best experiences they can for children at the club.'
'Staff deploy themselves thoughtfully and closely supervise the children'
'Staff ensure children's physical and mental well-being remains high while at the club'
'Children are busy, well engaged and enjoy the creative opportunities as the club. Staff link to children's interests and get ideas for new resources, constantly ensuring children have lots to inspire and stimulate them'
'Outside, children relish the large open spaces. They play imaginatively with their friends and have fun using the equipment'
'Children have good relationships with all the staff at the club. They chat with them about their day as they walk from the main school. Children are relaxed and happy upon their arrival'
We run our Holiday Club from our club room - please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if this is something you may be interested in.
