Staff
​
Staff are highly skilled and motivated and are passionate and committed to the service they provide. Recruitment procedures are robust with the supervision of staff being very effective to identify any training needs. This further improves experiences for children within the club.
​
Children’s views, thoughts and feelings guide and inform practice. Staff encourage children’s independence and encourage them to share their comments. As a result, children are fully involved in effecting change and in the planning of the club.

​GSC staff have all received Food Hygiene training. We are pleased that annual unannounced inspections from Melton Councils Food Standards Inspector have resulted in us achieving the highest award.
