About this early years setting

LBL After School Club, a childcare setting on non-domestic premises in London, N2 9JP, was registered with Ofsted on 1st July 2025. It provides a warm and nurturing environment for children aged 3 to 11.

The club is recognised for its strong safeguarding practices, ensuring children are safe and feel secure. Leaders ensure staff have a secure understanding of behaviour management, fostering positive attitudes and strong friendships among children.

The setting prioritises children's wellbeing and encourages independence, with well-established routines that help children feel settled and confident.

Parents frequently comment on the positive impact the club has on their children's confidence, highlighting the strong relationships between staff and children, and the varied activities that complement school learning. The club also promotes healthy living through nutritious snacks and regular outdoor physical activity.

As a healthy eating nursery we educate children on sensible and nutritious choices to contribute towards an active and healthy lifestyle.
