Inspection of Daisy Roots Parental Solutions Ltd St Marys C Of E School, Amyand Park Road, Twickenham TW1 3HE

p.1

This provision meets requirements

The provider aims to provide high-quality out-of-school care for children of mixed ages from the host school. She shares her values and vision among all staff, who say 'we are like one big family'. As children arrive, they excitedly find friends and quickly settle. They eagerly choose a healthy snack of apple and watermelon. Children tell the inspector they really enjoy their time at the club. They independently choose from a variety of activities. For example, children concentrate as they create models from tiny construction pieces. They negotiate, take turns and find different shapes to make intricate models. Staff respond sensitively to children who become upset. They effectively promote children's emotional well-being and good behaviour. Staff encourage children to resolve conflict and skilfully explain that their actions have consequences. Children behave very well, they are extremely happy, safe and thoroughly enjoy time at the club.

Children who prefer quiet time can relax in the very cosy book area surrounded by soft cushions, and are provided with ear defenders to block out noise. However, at times the noise level makes it difficult for children to hear instructions and each other.

n The provider ensures the resources and equipment are of high quality. She regularly seeks the views of host school staff, her own staff, parents and children to help her maintain a high standard of provision that meets the needs of all children. The manager plans activities and experiences based on children's interests and the school curriculum. For example, during the inspection, children enjoyed talking about their senses and keenly created faces from a range of art materials. n Leaders follow a rigorous recruitment procedure to ensure all staff are suitable. New staff receive an in-depth induction to help them understand their roles and responsibilities. They undertake training to rapidly develop their skills and knowledge further. n The manager and staff work extremely well as a team. They successfully communicate to ensure children are supervised at all times to help keep them safe and from harm. This includes, for example, during trips to the toilet and

outdoor play. n Overall, children benefit from activities that keep them engaged. For example, children giggled as they guessed the word balanced on their head; younger children enthusiastically dressed up as green dragons and superheroes and solved problems as they made a den. However, after teatime, the resources are tidied away, leaving children with little to do until they go home. However, children's behaviour remains good throughout their time at the club.

13 November 2019 n Children's good health and physical exercise are promoted exceptionally well. Children have plenty of time outdoors in an attractive area used solely by the club. Children keenly play football, practise cartwheels and enthusiastically build 'turrets' and 'watch out towers' from wooden blocks. n Children enjoy nutritional, healthy meals and they have plenty to eat. They enjoy this social time together. n Staff use their time with children effectively, keenly interacting with them and enthusiastically joining in their play. During quieter times, the youngest children's key person supports them to read books. Older children complete homework tasks, look at books and draw pictures. n Partnership working with parents and teaching staff from the host school brings consistency to children's care and learning. Parents comment they are very happy with the care of their children and impressed by the high-quality meals

The manager and staff clearly explain their role to protect children from extreme views and beliefs. They know the correct local reporting procedures to raise their concerns about a child's safety and welfare. Staff carry out daily checks of the premises to ensure they remain safe for children to use.
