Cherry Tree Kids Club at Gravel Hill Primary School

This is an out-of-school childcare provider based at Gravel Hill Primary School, not a day nursery. It has capacity for 40 children and is included on the Early Years, Compulsory Childcare and Voluntary Childcare registers.

Ofsted inspected the club on 15 October 2024 and recorded safeguarding as effective. The out-of-school inspection has no overall effectiveness grade, so families should not read it as a graded nursery judgement.

The registered subtype is out-of-school day care. That distinction matters: this profile concerns childcare around children's school lives rather than a conventional all-day early-years nursery offer.

For children within its Early Years Register provision, the statutory Early Years Foundation Stage sets expectations for learning, development and welfare. In practice, that means age-appropriate experiences should support how younger children play, communicate and grow while they are in the club’s care. Current operational information should cover activities, spaces, age bands and attendance patterns.

Safeguarding was effective at the October 2024 inspection. This is the clearest current quality assurance available in the official record, although it does not amount to an overall grade.

A current parent pack should set out the key-person approach for younger children, arrangements for children with SEND, food, medication and communication with parents.

The club is registered at Gravel Hill Primary School, Watling Street, Bexleyheath, DA6 7QJ. Its official record gives capacity as 40 places.

A current parent pack should set out session types, days, times, accepted ages, minimum attendance, charges, meals and non-food consumables.

Out-of-school scope. This is registered as an out-of-school club rather than a day nursery. Confirm that the available sessions match the particular school-day or holiday cover your family needs.

Inspection format. The October 2024 inspection confirmed effective safeguarding but did not publish an overall grade. Families comparing graded early-years settings should keep that difference in mind.

Operational detail. Ask for the current parent pack before deciding, including session times, age eligibility, collection arrangements, food, SEND support and all charge categories.

Cherry Tree Kids Club is a map-visible out-of-school childcare option at Gravel Hill Primary School with effective safeguarding recorded in October 2024. It may suit families seeking school-linked childcare, but the evidence does not establish whether breakfast, after-school or holiday patterns are currently sold. The practical decision rests on obtaining the club's current booking information and checking that its ages, schedule and support arrangements fit the child.
