In November, Ofsted visited the Kids Club here at Saltergate, our wraparound care for Reception to Year 6.

Ofsted have praised the setting highly and awarded a 'Good' rating once again.

'Staff are very attentive and have quality interactions with the children. There is a busy and happy atmosphere as children play games together. Children enjoy being creative. For instance, they carefully create flags, draw or print using various fruits and vegetables. Children's artwork is celebrated and displayed within the room, creating a sense of achievement and belonging.'

Ofsted were particularly delighted with the relationship Kids Club have with parents as well as the children.

Parents comment that staff are very approachable, friendly and that they feel fully informed about their children's time at the club. They say their children are always happy, want to attend and settle quickly. Parents say they are grateful for the service provided and feel reassured their children are in safe hands.

The provider and staff regularly evaluate the care they provide. They seek regular feedback from parents and children. Staff use this information to make well-considered changes to the resources and activities they provide. This ensures that the club continues to meet the changing needs and interests of all children.

We are ecstatic to have been awarded a Good grade once again. I am so proud of all of our team and our children - we have a brilliant wraparound care setting for our families, and we will continue to work together to ensure the highest of standards are maintained.
