Butterfly After School Club

Inspection of Butterfly After School Club St Martins Community Centre, Abbots Park Road St Martins Estate, LONDON SW2 3PW

p.1

This provision meets requirements

The manager has worked successfully to meet the actions from the last inspection. She has reviewed and updated her recruitment procedures. Appropriate checks are now in place to make sure staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children. Safety is further promoted because a sufficient number of staff have current paediatric first-aid qualifications to ensure they are able to deal with children's accidents and injuries. This is a small and friendly club where children enjoy relaxing at the end of the school day. They behave and concentrate well on activities of their choosing. They play well together and are happy to chat to staff during the session. Children have every opportunity to be involved in decisions about the activities and resources offered. They particularly enjoy art and crafts, as well as playing in the garden. They show a sense of belonging as it is very much their club and their ideas are valued.
