Smiles Of Quorn | Ofsted Reports, Reviews (2025)

Smiles of Quorn Ltd is a Breakfast and After School Club that is fully insured and Ofsted registered (URN: 2520112) , set up in response to a growing demand from working parents for a safe, happy, secure and stimulating childcare environment.
Smiles of Quorn was founded in 2018 by good friends and work colleagues, Rachel Marshall and Suzy Saddington, both of whom have many years experience working with children in a pre-school as well as a primary school setting and both hold a Level 3 qualification in the Early Years Educator along with Paediatric First aid, Enhanced DSB certificate, safeguarding and many other related qualifications for childcare.
Both Rachel and Suzy are very proud of the childcare setting that Smiles of Quorn has become.
Smiles of Quorn is based in the village, just a healthy walk away from St.Bartholomews Church of England Primary School, within the newly refurbished, modern and fantastic facilities at The Deep End, Rawlins Academy.
Research shows that 4 out of 5 children are not getting enough exercise and at Smiles we see this walk to and from school as a great positive.
We also feel the lovely modern setting, with all its great outdoor facilities will benefit the children greatly .
As a breakfast and after school club we follow the Playwork Principles, offering the children a free choice and independence whilst still providing a range of adult led activities.
At Smiles of Quorn, we understand the importance of healthy eating and therefore we provide a wide range of healthy and tasty breakfast and snacks for the children and always make fresh fruit, vegetables and salad available.
We promote independence, by encouraging the children to prepare their own snacks, another fun activity for the children, and to clear away after themselves with the supervision and support of the team.
Children are encouraged to sit and enjoy their breakfast or snack within a social environment at the snack table.
We use fresh ingredients and follow statutory food hygiene guidelines, something that has been recognised by our achievement of a 5 star food hygiene rating at both of our previous inspections.
Smiles of Quorn is run as a private business, now solely owned and managed by Rachel.
We enjoy a close working relationship with St.Bartholomews Church of England Primary School in order to ensure continuity of care and to maintain good communication links with your childs education provider.
We want children to be truly happy and content in our setting so that you as their parent/carer feel confident that your child is well looked after and enjoys the club.
Parents, carers and families are welcome to request any information about our club, such as policies or our club handbook, as an electronic or paper copy.
