Due to the current situation around Covid 19 we have taken the decision to cancel all clubs until further notice. We are monitoring Government advice and guidelines and the health and safety of the children and young people and our staff is our priority.
We will post regular updates on our facebook page The Hollow Lane Club so please follow the page to keep in touch.
If you have any queries please email as this will be regularly monitored.
Please find details of the Ofsted inspection report from 27 January 2020.
The Trustees have said:
“We are extremely proud to share the Hollow Lane Club’s latest Ofsted inspection report. The report clearly recognises the excellent skills of Mary, our General Manager, and the whole team and in particular refers to HLC “providing children with the very best play and learning experiences they possibly can”.
Ofsted noted “laughing and giggling can be heard throughout the club, as children enjoy their activities with each other and staff”. What better feedback could we ask for!
Trustees, The Hollow Lane Club”
It should be noted that the inspection was made as the Club is registered on The Early Years Register, Compulsory Childcare Register and Voluntary Childcare Register as an out of school day care provider. As no under 5s were present on the day, the inspector was not able to give us a detailed grading (we previously were graded outstanding). The judgement of ‘met’ means that HLC meets requirements for registration. The language of the report tells use what the inspector saw and recorded on the day and the only options for grading were ‘met’ or ‘did not meet’ requirements. The report can be found at https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/16/EY291660 and general information at www.ofsted.gov.uk.
We are very pleased to announce that a new siblings group will be starting at Dartington in the New Year. A siblings group has been running successfully in Exeter for many years now and we are very excited to be able to offer spaces for this group in Dartington.

Representatives will be in Princesshay on Thursday 4 July with collection buckets and static cycles. Any help or support would be appreciated.
Just a reminder to all parents and carers that if your child will not be attending a session can you please give as much notice to us as possible as this will have an impact on our staffing ratios. Your cooperation is appreciated. Thank you.
Eagle One have kindly decided to fundraise for us. Here are details of a sponsored cycle ride they are undertaking in July. They are happy for anyone to join in the event and would be glad of some support when they get back to Devon.
