Ofsted has rated our club at GILBERT COLVIN as “OUTSTANDING”. Kids In Charge has a good relationship with the Gilbert Colvin School and run the club from the dining hall and the gym of the school.

The children are also able to use the outdoor facilities to play. The children enjoy playing with the huge tyres on the playing field running races and doing mini Olympics as well as eating their snack by the fountain on a sunny afternoon chatting to friends.

Here at Gilbert Colvin cooking is a firm favourite with both boys and girls and the children often bake to raise money for charity too.

The children and staff at Gilbert Colvin school enjoy warm relationships. The children are encouraged to challenge themselves with the weekly challenge and they encourage each other to beat their own scores in these challenges. Soon after arrival children are able to enjoy a healthy snack daily. children enjoy the range of foods that are from a menu prepared from suggestions children have made.

All food is prepared on site by staff who have been trained to Level 2 in Food Hygiene. Children can be collected from Park-hill* school then walk the short distance with staff to Gilbert Colvin Primary School. * minimum number required.
