Aqueduct After Hours Club review

It is the best-placed club in this round: a long-registered setting beside Aqueduct Primary School with a company record and direct contacts behind it ^{[1] [2]}. The caveat is depth, with only two Google reviews behind the headline score alongside no published fees and no website ^[4]. It suits you if you want wraparound care in Aqueduct and are happy to judge it by phone rather than on paper.

Yes. Its Ofsted registration is listed on the register across the Early Years Register and both parts of the Childcare Register, and it has held that registration for years ^[1]. Trust the register entry over any website claim, and read its inspection history by searching the setting's name on the Ofsted reports site. Registration is also what makes its fees eligible for Tax-Free Childcare.

No session fees are published: the council directory marks the service as chargeable without giving figures, and the club has no website to carry prices ^[3]. Phone the club for the session fee, the notice period and any late-collection charge, and get the quote in writing before the start date. Compare the half-term total against one other registered setting.

From the community centre on Majestic Way in Aqueduct, Telford, with Telford as its recorded service area. It is a single-site setting rather than a nursery group, so the question that matters is whether it collects from your child's school. Phone with the school name and your postcode and ask for a straight answer on pickup.

By phone or through the council directory's enquiry route, since there is no online booking system ^[3]. Give your child's school and year, the days you need, and the date the place must start. Ask for the session fee, the collection arrangements and the notice terms together, and keep the reply in writing for your records.

Google is the only review source on record, carrying a full five stars from only two reviews ^[4]. That reads as friendly rather than proven, so give it little weight next to the long registration history. Read both reviews yourself, then judge the club on its answers by phone and, if you can, a visit near pickup time.

First of the two assessed clubs in our September round of Telford after-school clubs. What families say counts most in the scoring, with proof of registration counting next alongside openness about fees, history and booking. Rankings are re-run each round, so check the round date at the top of the trade page before relying on any position.
