This provision meets requirements

Children are busy, happy and enjoy their time at the club. They have settled in well and are familiar with the daily routines. For example, once children arrive at the club, they put their bags and lunch boxes in the designated area, and quickly choose an activity to engage in. Staff get to know children well and provide clear rules and expectations for their behaviour. As a result, children behave well and play nicely with their friends. Managers and staff provide a wide range of activities to match children's interests and keep them focused. For example, younger children enjoy jumping and manoeuvring over the mini obstacle course. Older children enjoy playing tennis and ball games with their friends. Managers and staff support children to develop essential skills for future learning. For example, they have introduced a 'wraparound council' where they give children the opportunity to make informed decisions about the club. Children reflect on activities on offer and

n Managers and staff work well in conjunction with local authority early years' professionals and the school that they serve, to secure improvements. For example, they have implemented all the actions that were raised at their last inspection, and made many positive changes that have raised standards in the club. n Staff have formed secure bonds with children, and constantly praise and celebrate their achievements to help boost their confidence and self-esteem. This helps children to become confident and value their time at the club. n Managers and staff offer a wide range of activities to help extend children's creativity, imagination and understanding of the wider world. They regularly observe children's play, and provide activities to build on their interests. For example, staff know that children enjoy art and craft activities, and make these available daily. n Staff encourage children to play outside, and provide interesting games to keep

them active. In addition, staff provide healthy snacks and encourage children to drink water to support their physical well-being. n Arrangements for the supervision and training of staff are effective. The managers of the club conduct regular one-to-one meetings with staff to identify gaps in their knowledge and reduce their workload. For example, they identified the need to improve communication across the team, and organised in-house training with the support of the local authority early years team. Management and staff report that this has made a positive impact on the way the club is run and managed.

School & J & S Wiz Kidz 19 November 2019 n Staff implement effective behaviour management strategies to help children learn about what is expected of them. For example, they routinely explain the club rules to the children, and constantly remind them of the importance of playing nicely and valuing one another. This contributes successfully to the way children behave. n Partnerships with the school that children attend, and with parents, are effective. Staff work closely with teachers and parents to help provide continuity in children's care and learning. Parents and the headteacher of the school spoke highly positively of the club. n Staff do not always use snack time effectively to further support children's engagement and independence skills. For example, children sit and wait for their friends who are in other clubs to join them before they eat, with no meaningful engagement from staff. In addition, staff do not consistently give younger

children the opportunity to serve meals and pour drinks.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Managers and staff have developed their knowledge and understanding of safeguarding and child protection. For example, they are now fully aware of their duty to report any safeguarding incidents to relevant bodies. They are aware of their duty to prevent and protect children from exposure to situations that may put them at significant risk of harm. Managers of the club follow robust procedures when recruiting and inducting new staff, to ensure they are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities. Managers and staff follow effective safety procedures and rigorous risk assessments to help keep children safe in the club.
