Welcome to Lats’ Kids Club
Thank you enquiring in placing you child with Lats’ Kids Club Limited, where every child is valued and encouraged.
We provide a secure and enjoyable environment for children to play and grow. The Club meets in our downstairs Community Room. Our Club follows the Playwork Principles, so children are able to take an active role in the daily running of the club. Each day, there is a selection of activities and resources, designed to suit all ages. These include outdoor play equipment, dressing up corner, computer games including PS3, educational resources and a range of other games. We enjoy the use of the ICT room, play ground and hall, which are used to host a range of exciting activities.
Snack Time For children attending the full session, we provide a delicious, healthy snack, served around 4:30pm. We use fresh ingredients and follow the statutory guidelines. We meet individual dietary requirements and parental preferences wherever possible. Drinking water is available at all times.
We recognise the importance of healthy nutrition for children delivered in a friendly setting. Children are encouraged to be independent during snack times, by deciding what they might like to eat each week, and helping to clear their plates away.
Staff Our Club is staffed by Manager Lats Patel, Deputy Manager Rana Rashid, and five playworkers. In addition we have volunteer staff. Our staff are enthusiastic and reliable, allowing for a smooth transition between the School and Club.
All of our staff have significant experience of working with children and undertake professional development training of the following qualification: first aid, food safety, health and safety, child protection, SENCo, equalities and inclusion. Over 50% of our Play workers are NVQ2 or NVQ3 qualified in play work or child care, and are encouraged to attend further vocational training. All staff members are DBS checked. We maintain a staff/child ratio of 1:8 for children under the age of eight, 1:10 for children over the age of eight, in line with statutory requirements.
