Oak Tree Centre review

Researched for After-school clubs in Telford

Unknown

Lightmoor Way, Lightmoor Village Centre, Telford, Shropshire, TF4 3EG · Service area: Telford

Oak Tree Centre in short

Oak Tree Centre is a community venue in Lightmoor Village, next to the primary school, with meeting rooms and sports facilities booked through a live calendar [1] [2]. The calendar even shows an out-of-school club already using the hall on weekdays. Our read is that this is a booking-led hall: straightforward to reserve, and thin on background about who runs it. The operator behind it is a housing trust rather than a childcare business, which explains the shape of the offer.

The centre suits you if you need a hall or sports space in Lightmoor, with phone and email contact published for bookings [1]. Its position beside the school makes it a natural base for children's activities, and the directory marks it as a chargeable venue. Sports facilities sit alongside the meeting rooms, widening the offer beyond talks and classes. No hire rates appear on either page checked, so every plan starts with an enquiry.

Public feedback is the weakest in the round: a three point six Google score from a handful of reviews [3]. Oak Tree Centre was researched as a possible wraparound option but not assessed as an after-school club, because the Ofsted register search returns no listing [4]. In our judgement the gap is evidence all round: no rates, no insurance details, and little to judge beyond the calendar, which leaves the calendar itself as the strongest evidence on the page.

Questions about Oak Tree Centre

Is Oak Tree Centre any good?

As a bookable hall, reasonable: meeting rooms and sports facilities reserved through a live calendar, next to the primary school in Lightmoor [1]. As childcare, no: it is not an Ofsted-registered setting and was not assessed as an after-school club [4]. Its public rating is also the weakest in the round, so read the few Google reviews in full and look round before you commit.

Is Oak Tree Centre registered with Ofsted?

No. The centre is a hireable community venue, and the Ofsted register search returns no listing for it [1] [4]. That is why it was researched but not assessed in this round. Search the register yourself by name to confirm. If you need registered wraparound care, shortlist the two ranked clubs on the trade page instead.

What does Oak Tree Centre charge?

No hire rates are published on the pages checked, though the directory speaks of affordable prices without giving figures [1] [2]. Send your date, your numbers and what the space is for, and ask for the full cost in writing. No insurance details are published either, so request those alongside the quote.

Where is Oak Tree Centre?

From Lightmoor Way in Lightmoor Village Centre, beside the primary school, with Telford as its recorded service area [1] [2]. The location suits families already doing the school run to the village school. Its recorded service area is Telford, though the village location shapes who it suits best. Check parking and access times for evening bookings before you confirm.

How do I book a room?

Through the live calendar on its booking site, or by phone and email for anything the calendar cannot answer [1] [2]. Give your date, your numbers and whether you need a meeting room or a sports space. Ask for availability, the full cost and the cancellation terms together in writing.

What do the reviews say, and how is it ranked?

Google carries a three point six score from a handful of reviews, the weakest public record in this round [3]. The centre is not ranked here, since only Ofsted-registered settings are assessed as after-school clubs. Read every one of the few reviews yourself, then look round the space before you book.
