Information about the setting

Koosa Kids After School at Godalming Junior School registered in 2013. It operates from an outbuilding in the grounds of Godalming Junior School, Surrey. The club has use of the school grounds and the hall. The club is open each school day from 3pm until 6pm. The club provides a minibus collection service from Farcombe Infants, Busbridge Infants and Moss Lane Primary Schools. Children are collected from local schools. The club is registered on the Early Years Register and both the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register. There are 31 children on roll, of these; seven are in the early years age group. The club supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. There are three members of staff working with the children including the supervisor. Of these, two hold recognised early years qualifications.

To further improve the quality of the early years provision the provider should:

 help children to further develop their good manners by making sure all staff consistently encourage children to say please and thank you.

p.3

who attend

Children thoroughly enjoy their time in the club. They are happy and excited to see the staff and their friends as they arrive. Staff make children feel welcome as they talk about what they have been doing at school. Staff involve children fully in the club and welcome their ideas for activities and food they would like for snack. Staff provide shaving foam on the day of the inspection following a request by children. As a result, they feel valued and demonstrate high levels of confidence. Children enjoy exploring the foam, writing letters and numbers in it. Staff ask how it feels and what it smells like to promote children's language skills.

p.3

who attend

Staff are happy to play games with the children they show an interest in. They patiently teach children to follow the rules a guessing game for example and talk about the differences of the people in the pictures. This helps children to recognise people are different and teaches them about the wider world. Outdoors, staff are energetic and take part in a chasing game to the delight of the children. Staff recognise the individual development stages children have reached and know that some children are happy to play independently. For example, staff carefully watch and move around with children who prefer to master the challenges of the climbing equipment. They make sure children are safe and offer support and encouragement when needed. As a result, children are very confident and show good levels of skill and pride when accomplishing the circuit of Inspection report: Koosa Kids After School Club at Godalming Junior School, Godalming, 03/06/2014 4 of 9

who attend

Staff plan some activities for each session with a focus on having fun. A recent topic allowed children to work together to make kites and a wall collage of objects that fly. This encourages children to work collaboratively and explore their creative ideas. Children are starting to take part in the activities that staff have planned to coincide with and to celebrate the World Cup football event. Staff get to know the children when they start at the club by talking to them about what they enjoy doing. Staff make observations of children's interests and achievements and use them to accurately assess children's levels of development. They work closely with parents and the schools children attend to plan the next steps in children's learning. As a result, children develop high levels of self- esteem and social skills. They are active learners and make good progress.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children are very happy; they forge strong bonds and trust with staff. Children show they feel safe and secure as staff get involved in children's play and spend time talking to them. Staff promote children's emotional development well. Overall, they are good role models and foster a kind and respectful atmosphere in the club. Children are encouraged to listen to each other and use each other's ideas in games they play such as tag. Younger children benefit greatly from playing alongside the older children, who happily include them in their games. Children behave well as staff encourage children to negotiate and discuss ways to overcome their differences. This helps children prepare for their future learning and be able to deal with conflict. Staff recognise and praise good behaviour. This has a positive impact on children who show pride and strive to receive another. However, staff do not always promote children's good manners at meal times for example, by

reminding them to say please and thank you. Therefore, children's behaviour is not fully promoted.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Staff place a strong focus on safety in the club. They are alert and follow effective procedures to keep children safe and to promote their well-being. Children take part in fire drills so they know how to act in an emergency. Staff regularly talk to the children about how and why they need to follow the club rules in order to keep safe. Children happily recite the club rules showing they understand them. Children keep within the coned areas in the playground showing they follow the rules. As a result, children are aware of keeping themselves safe. Staff provide a healthy and nutritious afternoon snack, which helps children learn about healthy lifestyles. Children follow effective hygiene routines and spend lots of time outdoors, which promotes their good health. Children burn off energy and build stamina as they dash around playing chase and clambering over the climbing equipment outdoors. Children are independent and willing to wash their plates and cups

provision

Management has a secure understanding of the safeguarding and welfare requirements. The implementation of rigorous procedures when recruiting staff, and their ongoing supervision, helps to ensure the suitability of all adults. All staff undergo a thorough induction including informing them of their roles and responsibilities in helping to protect children. Risk assessments are used effectively to help make sure children are kept safe. Effective procedures are implemented to protect those children who are collected from other schools and brought to the club by mini bus. Staff have a good knowledge of the child protection procedures to follow should they have a concern regarding a child. Their knowledge is continuously updated through training and discussions at team meetings.

p.5

provision

The management team has a clear understanding of the learning and development requirements. They use successful systems to monitor the play and learning activities the enthusiastic and experienced staff provide. Ongoing staff appraisals are used to target their professional development. Management and the staff work together to implement effective systems to evaluate all aspects of the club. They seek feedback from parents and children to help them identify areas for improvement. This strengthens the already firm partnership working and helps to ensure children's needs are met. Parents report their children are very happy at the club. Their children make friends with the children from other schools, which widens their friendship base and understanding of others. Trained staff support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities well, which helps the club to provide an inclusive environment. Staff work with other professionals and
