Inspection of Kids Kabin, Mundella Mundella Primary School, Mundella Place, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S8 8SJ

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Early years children thoroughly enjoy attending Kids Kabin, Mundella. They are happy to be collected from their classrooms by staff at the club. Upon arrival, children clearly know the routine and place items such as their coat and water bottle in the correct location. Behaviour is excellent. Children develop a strong understanding of the rules and expectations of the club. Excellent use is made of snack time to reinforce this and remind children of what they need to do if they have finished playing with a toy or resource. For example, children join in with saying phrases, such as, 'Choose it, use it, put it away'.

This provision meets requirements

The coordinator and her staff team set up the room well, ready for children to access after their day in school. Activities and experiences provided for children take full account of their interests and views. For example, staff bring out the 'conversation chair' while children have their after-school snack. This is used highly effectively to gather children's thoughts and ideas about the type of activities they would like to have. Children have access to board games and are excited to join in and take part.

They access training, share ideas among the staff team and benefit from appraisal meetings and effective induction. The coordinator recognises the staff team could be supported even further by regularly observing them interacting with children. n Children are supported to develop their understanding of fundamental British values. They take an active part in decisions that are made at the club and are helped to appreciate the diverse world in which they live.

Effective systems are in place to manage the school gate when parents come to collect their children. Staff monitor parents as they access the gate through an intercom.
