This provision meets requirements

Children have a good sense of belonging at Shine. They benefit from a welcoming and calm atmosphere where adults form trusting and respectful relationships with children. Staff deploy themselves well so that children have their full attention. Staff and children share meaningful conversations as they play. For example, staff actively listen as children talk about what they want to do when they grow up. Children have opportunity to choose what they would like to do at the club. Staff provide them with a variety of stimulating activities, both indoors and outside. Children can express their ideas through creative activities, practice their problem- solving skills when playing board games or participate in one of the many sport activities on offer. There is also ample opportunity for children to relax if they wish, for example watching a movie with friends. Staff have effective ongoing relationships with the school and parents. They gather information about children

n Managers are dedicated, meticulous and lead their team well. They use safer recruitment processes to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff receive a detailed induction process to ensure they have good knowledge and understanding of the club's policies and procedures. Managers have implemented an extremely robust system for staff to formally meet regularly with their managers to discuss their performance. Staff also have opportunities to meet in smaller peer groups, for example 'coffee club' which enables communication on a more casual level to discuss issues relating to their roles. n The well-being of staff is of utmost importance to the supportive managers, and they recognise the link between this and the quality of the provision for children. A selection of staff from all levels have undertaken mental health first-aid training and offer confidential mental health support for the staff team.

21 May 2021 Parents are pleased with the range of activities their children have opportunity to do, for example pottery and computer club. Parents have commended staff on how they have implemented ways to operate safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. The head teacher at the school is also complimentary and comments that 'you are in good hands' while at the club. n Children's individual needs and the implications of these are carefully considered by the managers, who take a proactive approach. For example, managers ensure that all staff receive the appropriate training to gain the skills and knowledge to meet children's medical needs before they start at the club. Staff also take into account children's allergies and ensure these are known and met. n Children's independence, perseverance and overall well-being is promoted by staff. Staff encourage children to tidy away their plates after eating and they

Safeguarding

Staff are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities in keeping children safe from harm. They attend regular and robust safeguarding training and can recognise the signs and symptoms when a child may be at risk of harm. Staff also know the correct procedures to follow to report concerns about the welfare of a child. Staff have awareness of the wider safeguarding issues, for example radicalisation. The premises are secure, so that children cannot leave unsupervised and unwanted visitors cannot gain access.
