Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders have an inclusive approach. They value their staff team and know that supporting their wellbeing is vital for staff to be happy, work effectively and thus help children enjoy their time at the club. Staff enjoy working in the club. Leaders include staff in all aspects of the club. They listen to them and value their contributions. Leaders use staff's ideas to develop practice and the team's effectiveness further. Leaders understand the value of reducing any barriers to children's wellbeing and/or involvement in the club. They are reflective and make changes to improve practice. They have more recently introduced additional arrangements, such as individual children's booklets. These help promote children's involvement, attendance and information-sharing.

This supports the sharing of information and helps staff at the club get to know children and their needs. Leaders and staff follow many of the on-site school's practices, such as strategies for supporting children's behaviour, which offer children a beneficial consistent approach.
