This provision meets requirements

Children come into the club and greet the staff warmly. They are keen to get started with activities, eagerly telling staff what they want to play. Children settle to activities, such as colouring festive pictures, constructing with plastic blocks and playing a game of giant dominoes. They talk enthusiastically with the staff, sharing what they have done in school that day. Staff have set up a good selection of activities for the children despite not being in their normal room, as it is being used for the Christmas Fayre that is taking place the next day. Children share well and help each other as they pass the pens when asked or take turns with the dominoes. Staff encourage children to vote on what they would like to do next; stay indoors or go outdoors. After some negotiation the children agree they want to play outdoors. All children readily join in with 'ball tag'. They take turns to be 'it' and manage feelings well, accepting when they have been caught.

n Staff are good role models for the children. They show considerable respect for them, making sure they ask their opinions and listen when they talk. Children are keen to offer thoughts about what they are doing, share ideas and listen extremely well to others. Children develop high self-esteem and confidence and adapt well to new situations. n Leaders and managers recognise staff skills and how to encourage continuing professional development. There are secure systems in place for discussing practice and procedures with staff to make sure they understand their roles and responsibilities. Staff say they feel well supported and know they will be listened to. n Children excitedly discuss the pictures they are colouring, commenting on what colour they will put where.

and then decide where to put the domino so it matches. Children use their imagination well as they create with the building blocks. They make a house and garage, then find the red 'lights' for the car. They manipulate the blocks to fit the car into the garage, and receive good praise from staff for working out the problem. n Staff encourage children to have snack when they first arrive. Children have a good selection of fruit to choose from. However, they walk around with their snack as they move to different activities and leave plates behind on tables. This is not the case at tea time when a table is set up and children collect and make their own wraps. They have a good selection of fillings, and then sit and eat at the table. They clear plates away at the end. This provides different messages

22 November 2019 for children about caring for their play spaces and clearing up after themselves. n Leaders, the manager and staff work well together and reflect on practice and provision to enhance the experiences of the children. They make sure they also seek the views of parents and children. The manager provides opportunities for staff to discuss what worked well and not so well, and what they may change next time to help meet children's changing interests. Parents comment that support for children's individual needs is excellent, including for those children with medical or special educational needs and/or disabilities. n Staff have built terrific working relationships with the school staff. They regularly join in with training that school staff do. They have office space in the school and discuss with teachers and the headteacher how they can support children in the club to continue building on children's skills and development. Children

They make sure they have thorough risk assessments in place for all areas that children may use. They encourage children to manage risks by talking to them about the safe use of equipment.
