We promote care and respect for each other, and our club provides equal opportunities for all.

The club is committed to high standards of behavior and the children in the club are expected to comply with them. Positive strategies for supporting good behavior are practiced. We have club behavior rules that have been set up by both the staff and children.
Food and drink
The club provides healthy, balanced snacks for the children. Water is always available, also a selection of fruit/vegetables, both fresh and dried.
Additional needs
The club is committed to welcoming children and staff appropriately with any form of special needs as full and valued members of the club, supporting them and involving them equally. We provide a range of activities and opportunities where able bodied people and those with disabilities can interact, learn about each other and form friendships.
Health and safety
The club prides itself on our high health and safety standards. The club is thoroughly assessed in order to gain registration. Regular health/safety checks and risk assessments are carried out by staff to ensure that our standards are continuously maintained. We also receive regular support from West Berkshire Council, along with Ofsted who inspect us every few years.
Equal opportunities
It is the clubs intention to ensure that there are equal opportunities and provision for all sections of our community. We believe commitment to equality of opportunity is one of the central principals of our club. .
Child protection
The club aims to provide the highest standard of care for children. In providing for the safety of the children, protection against the possibility of abuse is paramount. Staff attend regular training on recording, reporting and suspicions of abuse. All staff and volunteers are DBS police checked. When collecting,Foundation and infant children are collected by staff directly from their classroom teacher whereas juniors have a club meeting point in the playground. Children are welcome to undertake extracurricular activities which we are happy to return to school to collect them from.

What our parent's say
The children are collected directly from school, a short walk to the children’s centre where they play games and have great opportunities to interact with children they wouldn’t normally encounter during the school day. As a result, my kids have built really great relationships with others from different year groups and they very much enjoy their time at the club.
When my kids want to take part in after school activities, Karen is flexible and able to accommodate later pick up times so they don’t miss out on anything the school has to offer.
During warmer times the kids are always outdoors making the most of the fresh air. I couldn’t recommend Little K’s more if you are looking for a reliable, safe, enjoyable after school club.
