This provision meets requirements

Children are collected from a local school. They are very familiar with the routine and gather at the meeting point in the playground. A small group of children spoke with the inspector as they were walking to the club. They explain that they are going to make something with beads when they arrive. Children also say that the club is 'great', that they 'love it' and 'feel safe'. They are well behaved, enter the club in an orderly way, remove and hang their coats. Staff have fully considered the interests of each child when planning and resourcing the club. This means that every child finds an activity they are interested in. Staff have high expectations of children and remain committed to helping them make good progress and be the best they can be. They continue to assess children's development and plan activities that complement what they are learning in school. For example, children practise writing their names. A group of children complete a football computer

part in.

14 January 2020 n Before children start at the club, parents are asked to provide information about their child. This includes what they know about their child's development as well as their health and care needs. This helps staff ensure that children are well provided for from the day they start. n The communication link with parents is good. Staff provide parents with a brief update of how their child has been and they pass messages to them from school. n Staff are longstanding and very committed to their role. They work well as a team and enjoy what they do. Staff say that they are supported by management and have a good work-mlife balance. All staff contribute to the evaluation of the club and feel that their opinions are valued. n Children contribute to the club rules and know not to shout. However, staff are not consistent in their message to children about the need to keep the noise to an acceptable level. As the volume gradually increases, so do children's voices

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Leaders, managers and staff attend regular safeguarding training. Staff know different types of abuse and possible signs and symptoms. They are familiar with the procedures they must implement should they receive an allegation against a member of staff. Staff have attended training to update their knowledge of wider issues, such as forced marriages, grooming, radicalisation and extremism. They know what the safeguarding procedures are that they must implement should they feel a child is at risk. This helps to keep children safe. The recruitment, supervision and mentoring of staff are robust and help to ensure that staff working with children are suitable.
