Infinite Wellbeing Kids Club

Obstacle courses built by children, older children helping younger ones balance, and conversations about the school day give Infinite Wellbeing Kids Club its character. This is a club-centred account of childcare, with cooperation and practical independence running through its April 2026 activities.

At its 22 April 2026 inspection, Ofsted assessed behaviour and routines, welfare and wellbeing, inclusion, and leadership at Expected standard, with safeguarding standards met. There was no overall inspection grade. The setting has capacity for 46 children; those attending in April 2026 were aged 4 to 11.

In April 2026, children helped shape their play. Staff supplied extra resources as an obstacle course developed across the hall, giving children scope to work towards a shared goal. Tower-building became another exercise in persistence, with children using their bodies to support increasingly tall constructions.

The early years foundation stage sets requirements for children's learning, development and care, linking play with learning and everyday wellbeing. In April 2026, the club's activities included storytelling, creative work, pretend play and balancing. Children also practised waiting for a turn through a ball game, while older children demonstrated movements for younger ones to try.

Physical provision included soft-play equipment and an outdoor area that leaders had altered to help children use it independently. These were features of the club at that date, rather than evidence of separate nursery rooms.

At the April 2026 inspection, Ofsted found that staff understood support for children with SEND and generally worked with families and professionals, but information from schools and other professionals was not obtained consistently, especially for children known to social care. That weakness matters where a child's support needs span home, school and the club.

In April 2026, settling sessions were flexible, and parents' information about interests helped staff select resources. Staff also allowed children time to process transitions, including going home. Allergy and intolerance information informed menu adjustments; children helped prepare food during holiday club and made choices about sandwich fillings.

The address is Infinite Wellbeing Community Centre, Market Street, Heanor, Derbyshire, DE75 7NR.

In April 2026, leaders used funding in collaboration with the local authority to help families access holiday activities and meals, including disadvantaged children. This was support for club participation, rather than a stated early-years funded-hours entitlement. Sessions helping children meet friends before starting school were also part of the club's transition work at that date.

• Behaviour and safety. In April 2026, staff did not reinforce rules consistently when younger children climbed over a sofa. Ask how staff now make expectations clear during active play.
• Information sharing. In April 2026, coordination with schools and other professionals needed greater consistency. Families whose children receive additional support should discuss how relevant information will reach the club.
• Attendance fit. The April 2026 age range was 4 to 11. A visit should establish how the current age offer and attendance arrangements fit your child.

Infinite Wellbeing Kids Club suits families looking for childcare built around shared play and growing independence, judging by its April 2026 practice. Child-directed construction and older children helping younger ones are useful strengths. Consistent behavioural guidance and communication across services are the important points to weigh alongside them.
