2. Activity Planning & Engagement

· Leading Games: Organising structured activities for the attendees.

· Resource Management: Setting up equipment (like board games or sports equipment) and ensuring everything is tidied away at the end of the session.

3. Food and Drink

· Food Prep: Preparing simple, healthy snacks

· Allergy Awareness: Being strictly diligent about children’s specific dietary requirements and allergies.

· Hygiene: Encouraging children to wash their hands and maintaining a clean dining environment.

4. Behavioural Support & Mentoring

· Positive Reinforcement: Modelling good behaviour and using the school’s reward systems, and linked behaviour policy

· A Relational Approach: Helping children talk through disagreements and manage their emotions in a constructive way.

5. Communication & Professionalism

· Parent Liaison: Providing brief updates to parents at the end of the day.

· Teamwork: Liaising with other school adults to ensure a smooth transition from the classroom to the club.
