Operational Plan

At Just Kidding After School Club, we provide quality affordable childcare for the local community. Quality childcare brings benefits for the whole community, enabling parents to return to work and combine employment with family life and enabling employers to retain and recruit employees from the local community.

We want parents to feel confident about the quality of care that is provided for their child for them to have no concerns for their child’s health, welfare, and early learning.

Our Wonderfull staff are deploying their knowledge and skills to provide support and love to children attending the club, as well as maintaining good relationship with parents. 

In addition, staff are able to provide support to each child this includes allowing children to bond with adults as well as developing a trusting relationship. Supporting the children to have fun, explore things around them, learn and make friends.

To continuously develop our practice, we regularly complete a self-evaluation cycle where we publish our opinions about the quality of our childcare and an action plan to implement emerging good practice from the sector. We welcome parent’s opinions and contributions to the self-evaluation process and actively seek feedback through questionnaires and informal discussion which is recorded.

For Just Kidding After School Club to run effectively and efficiently serve local community needs, it is important that we have an operational plan that is implemented, reviewed, and revised on a regular basis. It describes how the club is run and what type of service is provided. It describes the club service, the structure of the club, who is responsible and guidance on practices and procedures.

The plan is used by the club director / manager, staff, parents, and outside agencies as a reference tool for general day-to-day practice and a tool to assess the quality of the service provided. We will review this policy every year. However, we will be using reflective practice, amend and implement any necessary changes following an event or issue before the review date.
