Inspection of Fit For Sport At St Edwards Rc Primary School Lisson Grove, London NW1 6LH

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children feel safe and valued in this welcoming environment. Staff take the attendance register and help children get to know each other and be clear about the daily routines. Children settle well and make new friends to play with. They are confident to ask for help when needed. Staff introduce children to new activities and join in with them. The broad range of activities complements what children do at school and encourages their social interaction, creativity and physical skills. For example, children engage well in a chase game, learn to cooperate and develop good control and coordination as they play. Staff provide good opportunities for children to use their imagination. For example, children like to draw their favourite pictures and are proud to show their artistic work to staff, who praise them for their good efforts. Children learn to handle resources with care. However, staff do not take every opportunity to help children become as independent as possible.

n Staff gather relevant information from parents and class teachers to plan interesting activities that meet the needs and interests of the children. For example, children were interested in building models using construction tools and making things out of paper. Staff provided activities and resources that children could use to support their creativity. Younger children enjoyed collage activities and confidently explained what they had created.

Overall, children listen attentively and respond well to instructions. They enjoy a cosy area to relax and to read their favourite stories. n Staff support children's healthy lifestyles effectively.

However, staff do not consistently encourage children to manage small tasks for themselves, to further strengthen their independence. n Younger and older children enjoy the range of activities on offer and the opportunity to catch up with their friends.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Thorough recruitment and selection processes help to ensure that all staff are suitable for their roles. Managers and staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding requirements. For example, they know about the different types and symptoms of abuse and the correct procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child or an adult. Managers share the club's policies and procedures with staff and make them available for parents and others to support children's welfare, health and safety. Staff conduct regular risk assessments of the premises and resources to help children remain safe. They undertake fire drills regularly to help children learn how to leave the building calmly and safely in an emergency.
