A LINK club in Great Sankey where ‘staff build delightful relationships with children’ has been praised after a recent Ofsted inspection.

Evelyn Street Wasps, which is the link club for Evelyn Street Community Primary School, met Ofsted’s requirement when inspectors visited in July.

Inspectors claimed children ‘settle quickly’ as they ‘happily arrive’ at the club and are ‘excited to begin their play’.

They also said children at the club are ‘well prepared for life in the society they live in’.

Evelyn Street Wasps was registered with Ofsted in 2018 and it was the first routine inspection for the club since the pandemic began.

Staff were praised in the report which said: “Staff build delightful relationships with children.

“They encourage children to talk throughout their play and during activities led by adults.

“Children show good behaviour and confidence as they enthusiastically talk about themselves and their day in school.

“For example, they discuss meeting their new teachers in readiness for the new school year.”

The communication from the link club was also praised by inspectors: “Parents value the information given to them. For example, parents are sent COVID-19 risk assessments which provides them with reassurance that the club is a safe place for their children.

“Parents comment that their children 'love the club' and that the staff 'do a really good job'.”
