Welcome back! As the autumn term comes to a close, we’re excited to share highlights from a busy and fun-filled few months at Clubland. From reconnecting with familiar faces to welcoming new children and staff, it’s been a term packed with friendship, creativity, and celebrations.

A Fun-Filled Term at Clubland

This term has been full of excitement and laughter for our Clubland children! Even though the nights are drawing in, we’ve made the most of every opportunity for outdoor play. The children love running, exploring, and enjoying fresh air with their friends—it’s always a highlight of the day.

We’re thrilled with how well our new Reception children have settled in. They’ve quickly become an important part of Clubland at Royal Kent, bringing their energy, curiosity, and big smiles to every session.

Inside, the fun has been non-stop! We’ve embraced the festive spirit with fantastic Christmas-themed activities, from colourful crafts and messy play to creating glittery masterpieces. Our dressing-up corner has sparked imaginations, while Lego, Marble Run, and our ever-popular football table have kept little hands and big ideas busy.

Snack time remains a favourite moment of the day, with the children enjoying a mix of hot and cold options, followed later by fruit and biscuits. These moments bring everyone together, giving them a chance to recharge before diving into more fun.

At Clubland, every day is a balance of creativity, play, and friendship. Whether it’s building structures with Lego, enjoying group games, or crafting festive decorations, there’s something here for every child to enjoy.

Our Recent OFSTED Inspection

We’re delighted to share some fantastic news—our recent OFSTED inspection went brilliantly! We met all the requirements and received a glowing report, highlighting the safe, nurturing, and engaging environment we provide for your children.

You can read the full report here. We’re proud of this achievement and will continue striving to provide the highest quality care for your children.

Expansion Update

This term, we worked closely with Royal Kent School to address capacity concerns, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all children. This partnership allowed us to temporarily increase our capacity to meet demand, ensuring every child who needed care could join.

Looking ahead, as demand decreases, we’ll be returning to our original capacity next term. If you haven’t already booked childcare for the spring term, we encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible.

Next Term

The new year promises even more exciting activities and events! We’ll dive into themes like When It’s Cold, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, and more. Stay tuned for plenty of adventures and creative projects to come.

Keeping Up-To-Date

To ensure your child’s safety and smooth operations, please take a moment to update their MagicBooking account. This includes emergency contacts, collection arrangements, and allergy information.
