A Boroughbridge breakfast and after-school club has received a glowing Ofsted report.

Roboodles, which operates at Roecliffe Church of England Primary School, was described as "wonderful" by inspectors.

An inspection was carried out at the club in November this year.

Ofsted inspector Jan Batchelor said in a report just published:

"Leaders create a wonderful out-of-school club.
"[Children] chat together as they make jewellery, they concentrate as they paint Diwali pictures, and they use their imagination as they create imaginary worlds with dinosaurs."


The inspection report found Roboodles consulted a nutritionist in providing healthy food for club members.

Ms Batchelor said:

"Children confidently explain to the inspector that they are allowed a drizzle of honey on their toast, not a river."


Meanwhile, the report found that children were well behaved.

Ms Batchelor said:

"They know they must not run around outside 'like headless chickens', but they also know that the most important club rule is to have fun."


Claire Bennett and Lianne Conroy, Roboodles business partners, said in a statement:

"Our recent Ofsted visit was our first.
"We are delighted with the inspectors report, which captures perfectly how Roboodles operates everyday.
We love what we do and feel very privileged to be able to share our time with the children in our care."
