Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders are committed to providing high standards of care and have a thorough understanding of the setting's provision. They are well informed about children's activities, daily routines and individual progress. Leaders are aware of the clubs' priorities, strengths and areas of development to support children to thrive. Leaders take purposeful action for continuous improvement and adapt practice effectively to enhance the quality of the club. They have plans to develop additional ways to support children to develop their independence and a sense of ownership and pride in their environment.

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders have positive links with school staff and communicate well to ensure they are aware of children's wellbeing. They adapt to changing circumstances to support children's needs where needed. Parent testimonies are highly complimentary of staff and parents value the support provided. Furthermore, they appreciate the individual support provided by staff for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those with barriers to learning and wellbeing. This offers parents confidence to know children are cared for well.

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders demonstrate a secure understanding of their responsibilities in meeting the statutory requirements. They have robust safer recruitment systems in place to maintain staff suitability. Leaders are highly motivated to support professional development for staff. They conduct regular drop-in visits to observe staff practice.
