Rattle and Roll Hawthorne Primary Wrap Around and Holiday Club

About this day nursery

Rattle and Roll Hawthorne Primary Wrap Around and Holiday Club, established in 2023, operates from Hawthorne Primary School in Bestwood Village, Nottingham, providing childcare on non-domestic premises. The club is open Monday to Friday, from 9am until 3pm, during school holidays.

The management team are dedicated to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all children. They have a clear vision for offering a diverse range of activities, including drama, dance, music, and craft, to support children's learning, development, and enjoyment.

Children will be encouraged to make choices for themselves through successfully organised resources that allow easy access to toys. The club also plans to support communication and language development, with drama activities providing opportunities for children to share their thoughts and feelings.

The management team demonstrates a strong understanding of promoting healthy lifestyles, ensuring children have regular access to fresh air and exercise through activities like ball games on the host school playground. They also emphasise healthy eating with nutritious snacks and hydration throughout the day.

The approach to behaviour management is described as calm and kind, adapting methods to suit individual children's ages and needs, establishing clear rules, and reinforcing positive behaviour. The team also prioritises safeguarding, with all staff regularly updating their knowledge through training, and a rigorous risk assessment process in place to ensure a safe and secure environment.

Information about children's activities will be shared with parents to keep them updated on their child's time at the club.

What it's like

The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where no early years children are present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
