Coundon Kidz Club Limited

Philosophy: The prime focus is to ensure what they provide complements children's time at the school nursery and prepares the youngest children with the skills they need when they first start.

Activities: Children are inspired by photographs of crowns and are deeply engaged in making their own creations at the 'dough station'. Others are intrigued as they use cotton buds with red, white and blue paint to write, make marks and explore how many new colours they can create.

Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff place a clear priority on increasing their language development. Children increase their self-help skills as they make their sandwiches for their party and talk about foods they like in their lunchboxes.

Communication: Staff work extremely well with parents from the start to swiftly identify any children who need additional support.

Community Building: Parents report that they are extremely impressed by the close relationship staff have with their children and the range of activities on offer.

Programs and Resources: Staff provide good, targeted interventions to help SEND children to take part in and begin to close gaps in their learning.

Staff Training: Staff benefit from regular supervision and training to keep their knowledge up to date and to help build on their teaching skills.

Welcoming and Professional Staff: Staff are enthusiastic about children's learning and know their assigned key children well.

Safeguarding Training: Staff have a good understanding of the possible signs of abuse and neglect, and wider safeguarding issues.

Play and Learning Integration: Children thoroughly enjoy exploring and investigating at their own leisure and staff sensitively join in their play to teach children.

Transition to Primary School: They use the school nursery curriculum as a base and combine children's interests and their observations of what children like doing. This helps them to provide a rich learning environment, which quickly captures children's curiosity.

Child Safety Management: Staff carry out daily checks to ensure the premises, activities and outdoor areas are safe and help children to take controlled risks as they play.

Children's Safety and Security: All children, including those who attend the breakfast club and wrap around nursery provision, are active and busy in this safe and familiar environment.

Teaching Personal Safety: Staff work closely with children and their parents to teach them about the benefits of having a healthy packed lunch and limiting sugar in their diet.

Happiness and Settling: Children are happy, confident and behave well, and thoroughly enjoy their time at the nursery.
