🍎🥒 Healthy choices help little minds and bodies grow strong! 💪✨

Today’s after school snack was packed with a variety of nutritious foods, including fresh fruit, crunchy vegetables, and a balanced meal to keep our children energized and ready to learn. We love encouraging healthy eating habits and helping our students explore colorful, wholesome foods every day.
Healthy eating isn't just about nutrition—it's about building lifelong habits that support wellbeing, focus, and confidence.

🌟 Eat well. Learn well. Grow well. 🌟

✨ Celebrating 25 Years of Schools Out Club ✨

It’s amazing to look back at where it all began 💛

These newspaper articles take us right back to the early days, when Amanda first opened Schools Out Club — with a passion to support local families and create a safe, fun environment for children. Pictured with her daughter Lily, who many of you will recognise today…

Fast forward 25 years, and Lily is now helping to run Schools Out Club alongside our fantastic, highly qualified management team 🙌

Thanks to their dedication, we are now proud to run four settings across Derby and Derbyshire — something that wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of our families over the years.

Here’s to 25 years of growth, memories and supporting our community — and many more to come 🥳
