Let's Leap, St. Jérôme C of E Bilingual School

This is an out-of-school holiday camp on a Harrow school site, rather than a day nursery. At the August 2024 inspection, its early years provision met requirements. It is an independently owned club for children aged four to 11 at the time of inspection, with 20 places.

Children's enjoyment was the clearest feature of the visit. They chose from activities, joined age-based key groups and received encouragement from staff. Families should keep the camp format in mind: this is school-holiday care for older early years children and school-age children.

Choice and movement shaped the inspected day. Children used seated skateboards, tackled puzzles, read books and played board games with staff. Outdoors was used daily for physical development. Children also cheered teammates, creating a positive group atmosphere.

The age-based key groups helped staff match activities and care to children, with extra attention to younger children settling in. At snack time, the game would-you-rather prompted children to express preferences and continue conversations with adults. The Early Years Foundation Stage means the early years provision works within the statutory framework for children's learning, development and care. In August 2024, children chose play, conversation and physical activity.

Children had consistent adult support. Before each camp week, staff gathered information about children's personalities, likes and dislikes. Rules and activity instructions were explained carefully, helping children know what to expect.

Behaviour was managed through clear boundaries and daily rules. Children could explain those rules, while staff modelled the behaviour expected. In August 2024, safeguarding was judged effective.

Staff promoted handwashing after outdoor play and involved children in tidying. In August 2024, four staff held relevant qualifications from level 3 to level 6. That staffing figure is dated, not a promise about a future camp.

The camp operates from St. Jérôme C of E Bilingual School, 120-138 Station Road, Harrow HA1 2DJ. There is capacity for 20 children. Families need the provider's current booking information for camp dates, accepted ages, charges, funded entitlement, meals, consumables and session options.

• Holiday-camp scope. This is out-of-school care during school holidays, not year-round nursery attendance. Match the provider's current dates and age groups to the care required.
• Current booking details. Session products, charges and any funded entitlement are points for the provider's current booking terms.
• Practical arrangements. Use the current joining information for what children need to bring.

Let's Leap at St. Jérôme offers a lively holiday-camp model built around choice, physical activity and supportive age-based groups. The dated findings describe effective safeguarding and warm staff relationships. It should suit families seeking school-holiday care for children within the provider's confirmed current age range, especially those who value active group play. Families needing regular term-time nursery sessions or flexible hours will need to compare those requirements with the current booking options.
