This provision meets requirements

Leadership of the club is strong. Leaders have worked on the welfare requirement notice that was set at the last inspection. They also work with staff from head office to review the quality of activities on offer for the children. All children work well together. They happily join in activities, such as football and arts and crafts, together. Older children readily support and help their younger peers. For example, they help younger children to learn how to tie beads to make bracelets. All children behave well. They are all happy and settled. Staff take time to welcome children into the club and find out about them. Staff then successfully use this to plan activities to support children's individual needs. Staff work closely with early years teachers to share how children are getting on at the club. This helps teachers to review how children are progressing towards their early learning goals. This also

n Children are confident attending the club. They arrive eager to start their activities. They confidently ask staff for different activities and resources, such as a particular ball to use outside. Staff then work with children to get these out for them to use. This helps to support children's personal and social development. n Leaders work closely with children to review activities they provide. Recent suggestions have been to learn coding, a form of information technology. Staff are working with head office and the school to support children's wishes to learn this skill. This helps children to learn to share their views and listen to the thoughts of others. n Staff have a secure understanding of safeguarding and what procedures they would follow if they had any child protection concerns. This helps to keep children safe. n Staff are consistent in their approach to manage children's behaviour. They work

closely with teachers and parents to make sure they are all consistent in what they teach children about their own behaviour. Children behave exceptionally well. n Children thoroughly enjoy creative activities with the staff team. The younger children are supported well by older children in measuring the length of elastic to make their bracelets. Children safely use resources such as scissors to cut the elastic and their bookmarks. This helps to support children's personal and social skills. n Staff ensure children have daily access to outside play areas. Children of all ages play games together and older children actively encourage younger children to join them. For example, they play basketball and older children teach their

This supports children's behaviour effectively, as well as their social skills. n Leaders work well with staff to make sure they have a sensible workload that does not cause them additional stress. They encourage staff to attend regular training to keep them up to date and to help them to support the children when they attend the club.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The manager has worked hard to meet the welfare requirement notice set at the last inspection. She has worked with the school to prevent teachers and parents using their mobiles in and around the club. The club has moved to a larger hall to prevent unvetted people walking through to other areas of the school. It has a named deputy that is capable of taking charge when the manager is not present. All staff conduct head counts so they are fully aware of how many children are present. They have new systems in place for children to register when they go into the playground to play. Children easily find their names and register against their year group. This helps them to be aware of how many children are already outside playing and children count them before asking to go outside to play. All of these procedures help to keep children safe.
