Our children have been getting creative making their very own autumn-inspired sun catchers! 🍂
They had lots of fun choosing beautiful autumn colours and creating their designs, exploring different shapes, colours and patterns along the way. 🧡💛❤️
We love seeing their creativity shine in club and we think these will look gorgeous catching the sunlight! ☀️
Well done! 🍁

🌟 A Warm Welcome to Our New Club Members! 🌟
We’ve been so pleased to welcome some new children to our club recently! It’s lovely seeing them settle in, make new friends and become familiar with our routines.
We’re especially proud of our older children, who have been fantastic role models. They’ve been taking the time to show our younger children around, explain our club rules and boundaries, help them understand our routines and make sure they feel included and comfortable. ☺️
It’s wonderful to see our children supporting one another, showing kindness and taking on those little responsibilities that make such a big difference.

📦✨ Cardboard creations in full swing! ✨📦

There’s nothing our children love more than being given a few boxes, some recycled materials and the freedom to let their imaginations run wild!
This week they’ve been busy designing, building, cutting, creating and turning ordinary cardboard boxes into something completely their own. We’ve seen lots of teamwork, problem-solving and plenty of creativity along the way!
We love seeing where their imaginations take them — who knew a cardboard box could be so much fun 😄

🌟 WE ARE EXCEPTIONAL! 🌟

We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly proud to share the results of our latest Ofsted inspection, which took place on 16th July 2026 and what a fantastic report it is!

Our provision has been graded EXCEPTIONAL — the highest standard nationally! ⭐️

This is a huge achievement for our whole team and a wonderful recognition of the care, dedication and commitment that goes into our Out of School Club every single day.
We are incredibly proud of the environment we have created for our children which is a place where they feel safe, happy, valued, included and able to be themselves.

We are especially proud of the lovely things Ofsted recognised about our club, including that:
✨ Every child is recognised as an individual and supported to flourish.
✨ Children feel safe, valued and excited to attend.
✨ Children develop warm, trusting relationships with staff.
✨ Children demonstrate resilience, independence, confidence and excellent social skills.
✨ Children support one another, celebrate each other’s achievements and make sure everyone is included.
✨ Our staff know our children and families exceptionally well and provide highly personalised support.

One statement in particular made us incredibly proud:
“Children flourish in this exceptionally nurturing, inclusive and inspiring environment.”

This report is a huge recognition of our amazing staff team, who work tirelessly to make our club a place where every child feels happy, safe, included and valued.
And of course, a big thank you to our wonderful children and families for your continued support, trust and encouragement. You are such an important part of our club family, and this achievement is something we can all celebrate together.
We couldn’t be prouder of our team, our children and everything we have achieved together! 🌈✨

While many allergies cause mild symptoms, some can lead to anaphylaxis, a serious and potentially life-threatening reaction.

This week’s guide helps parents, carers and educators understand the warning signs and feel more prepared to support children with allergies.

The guide covers:
• Key signs of anaphylaxis
• Symptoms linked to airway, breathing and circulation
• Common food allergens, including milk, eggs, fish, peanuts and sesame
• Non-food triggers such as pollen, insect venom and medication
• The role of adrenaline auto-injectors

Clear, practical awareness can help adults respond quickly and confidently when it matters most.

Minecraft continues to be a highly popular platform for children, combining creativity, problem-solving and social interaction.

While the game can offer positive opportunities for learning and play, features such as public servers, multiplayer modes and in-game communication can create safeguarding challenges.

Our latest guide supports educators and parents in understanding these risks and helping children play more safely.

The guide explores:
• Public server communication and contact with unknown players
• Griefing, disruptive behaviour and online conflict
• In-game spending and subscription costs
• Addictive gameplay loops and balanced screen time
• Safer settings, private servers and suitable game modes

With clear, practical advice, the guide helps adults set boundaries, encourage safer choices and support responsible Minecraft use.
