Information about the setting

Kids Club 2001 (Laleham) registered in 2011 and is one of five after-school clubs operated by Kids Club 2001 Ltd. It operates from Laleham Church of England Primary School in Laleham, Staines, in Surrey County Council. Children have access to 'the hut', which is the school's art room, and the school playgrounds. The club operates each weekday from 3pm to 6pm during term-time only, and from 8am to 6pm during some school holidays according to demand. Children aged between four and 11 years of age attend the after- school club. There are currently 27 children on roll, of whom, six are in the early years age group. The club also provides care for older children. The club employs five staff of whom two or three staff work on any one day according to the number of children present. The manager and deputy hold relevant childcare qualifications. The club is registered on the Early Years Register and the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register.

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

 develop the book area by making it more attractive for children, where they can share books together, to help promote their early reading skills.

p.3

who attend

Children enjoy the time at the out-of-school club and staff meet them from their classrooms at the end of the day. They chatter happily with one another as they arrive. Staff have built up their knowledge of the children's individual needs and support these well. They set up the club with a variety of activities and learning experiences, inside and out, according to the children's interests. Children make independent choices from the activities the staff provide and they can also choose alternative toys from the storage units in the cloak room area.

p.3

who attend

There is a good level of interaction with the staff, who offer appropriate support and involvement with the children's learning. They are interested in what the children have to say, as they talk about their day at school. Children quickly settle into an activity of their choice. They enjoy various art work activities such as writing and colouring, and spend some time designing their own work. Children enjoy a variety of games, which supports their mathematical understanding. For example, they matched four colours in a row and then counted how many counters they had won. Children are very interested in varying grades of puzzles and concentrate for long periods. For example, they fitted the pieces together and were very pleased with themselves when they completed the puzzle. The staff provide a box of books for reading' however, the children do not use this effectively. This is because there are no quiet and cosy areas where they can relax and enjoy the

stories, to enhance their literacy development.

p.4

who attend

Children enjoy good opportunities to play outdoors in the playground and this enables them to run around and release their energy. They enjoy playing football together and using the school outdoor apparatus. These activities support children physical health and well-being.

p.4

who attend

Staff make themselves available at the end of day for parents in order to discuss their child's achievements and day at school. Parental comments at inspection indicate that parents are happy with the service provided.

p.4

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

Children develop good relationships with staff in the out-of-school club. This enables them to form secure attachments and promotes their well-being and independence. There is a suitable key-person system in place, which helps children to feel secure. Although some of the younger children are new and are adapting to the school routines, staff provide a reassuring welcome. They carefully explain about the club's routine and this supports them to feel at ease and enjoy their time playing. This smooth move from school to the club helps to promote their well-being effectively.

p.4

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

Staff foster children's personal, social and emotional development well. Relationships between older children and those in the early years age range are positive and children play harmoniously together, sharing and talking turns. Overall, children are very well- behaved and staff respond calmly and sensitively to any difficulties.

p.4

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

Staff have a good understanding of, and give a high priority to, the safety of children. Staff are deployed appropriately to ensure children's safety and well-being at all times. Staff complete the registers as children arrive from school and parents sign their children out in the evening. The club have use of the schools extensive playground. However, as there are a number of after-school sports clubs using the playground, the out-of-school club uses an enclosed space by the hut until the other clubs have finished. This ensures children are safeguarded and cannot wander off at any time.

p.4

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

Children understand the need for effective hygiene routines and know to wash their hands on arriving at the club. Staff offer children a light snack, fruit and drink and children enjoy making their own sandwiches. They choose which bread they would like and a choice of fillings. Children can also opt to have something to eat from their packed lunch boxes, if they wish.

p.4

provision

The registered provider, manager and staff team have made considerable improvements to the service they provide. The manager and newly appointed deputy both hold a relevant qualification at level 3. Staff are appropriately deployed within the setting and understand their responsibilities in making sure children are always safe. The manager has devised clear routines in regards to the outdoor play areas available. She ensures that staff supervise the areas appropriately and that the children understand about the boundaries of where they can play. Over half of the staff team hold an appropriate first- aid certificate, which means that they are able to respond appropriately to children in an emergency.

p.5

provision

Suitable recruitment and vetting procedures are in place to check the suitability of all adults employed by the provider. Staff have a secure understanding of the safeguarding policy and know what action to take if they were concerned about a child. All of the legally required documents, policies and procedures are in place, which supports the efficient running of the provision.

p.5

provision

The registered provider and manager have been willing to make the necessary changes and recognise the improvements the club has made. The manager is currently reviewing the self-evaluation methods and is building on how to include the views of the staff, parents and children so that the club continues to develop. Staff have informal discussion with class teachers to ensure they are aware of the children's day at school and to enable them to relay any messages back to parents.
