Inspection of KOOSA Kids After School and Holiday Club at Holmesdale Community Infant School, Reigate Holmesdale Community Infant School, Alma Road, Reigate RH2 0BY

This provision does not meet requirements

Leaders provide staff with training when they start their employment. However, they have not made sure that the qualification requirements of their registration are met, or that staff fully understand all areas of safeguarding and the local safeguarding procedures. This does not promote children's welfare. Despite these weaknesses, children arrive at the club happily and eager to explore the activities staff have organised. Staff warmly greet children and take time to speak to their class teacher as they drop them off, to make sure they have any information they require for the session. Staff know the children well and give time to those children who may need support to settle and engage.

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff start off the session by asking children if they can remember the rules of the club. Children take turns to recall the rules. For example, they know not to go into coned-off areas. Children confidently talk about their day at school. For example, they proudly tell the group they got chosen to be part of the school council. Outside, children practise their physical skills as they climb and balance on low- level equipment. Staff encourage children to take risks and practise climbing on higher surfaces. Children show delight when they succeed.

n Staff feel well supported in their roles and have the opportunity to discuss any concerns they have. They can access online training and have support visits from leaders. However, leaders have not made sure the minimum qualification requirements are met at all times. This is a breach to the requirements of their registration. n Staff understand how to recognise the signs of abuse and know where they need to report these within the organisation. However, staff are not familiar with the local procedures to follow if they need to refer a concern to agencies outside of the organisation. In addition, there are some areas of child protection, such as the 'Prevent' duty that staff do not understand. This means staff do not have all the knowledge they need to ensure children's safety and welfare. n Staff understand the individual needs of the children and how to help children who may need additional support. For example, they use a reward system to

support some children's behaviour. Staff have strong communication with the children's class teachers and make sure they receive regular feedback. n Children's independence is well supported. Staff encourage children to self-select their snack and wash up their own plates when they have finished. Children enjoy snack time and socialising with their friends. They laugh as they place their raisins on a rice cake as it resembles a face. n Children's development is promoted throughout the different activities staff offer.

Community Infant School, Reigate 22 May 2025 For example, staff encourage children to count backwards during games, such as bowling as well as attempting some simple addition and subtraction. Staff provide a variety of mark-making resources for children to practise their writing skills. n Children engage very well with each other and independently take turns at activities. For example, they remind each other who's turn it is next when they play board games. Staff deploy themselves well to assist children with more active games and help children with turn taking when required. n Children are eager to talk about things that are important to them, such as their siblings going to nursery. Staff listen and encourage children to ask each other questions. They demonstrate respect and that they value what their friends say. n Parents are happy with the care their children receive. They receive a daily handover of the activities the children have been a part of. They feel the
