Children have a good sense of belonging at this welcoming club. They form trusting relationships with staff, who chat to them about their day in school on arrival. There is a buzz of excitement as the children move around the room, choosing what to play with. Children solve problems as they work out how to connect construction bricks together. They sit and relax and look at books and talk with their friends.

This provision meets requirements

Children share conversations with staff as they play. For example, staff talk to children about different countries and explain about pyramids being in Egypt and that the climate there is different to here. This triggers off children's memories and they talk about their holidays, showing they are competent speakers.

This provision meets requirements

Children thoroughly enjoy playing outside. They play cooperatively with each other and share equipment. They play with their friends and make up their own games. Children develop their physical skills as they use the equipment. They balance balls on bats and count how many times they can hit a ball in the air. Staff extend this play and suggest they try using a bean bag and set challenges to see if they can do this 10 times. Children use hoopla hoops with excitement, they jump in and out of the hoops and swing them around their bodies.

They comment that children come out 'happily chatting' about the activities at the club and say they 'love going'. n Staff promote a positive attitude towards children's behaviour. They encourage children to play together and talk about being kind and helpful. Children behave well, overall. However, there are times when children have to wait around for long periods of time, for example while snack is being set up. This leads to some children running around and not doing what staff ask them to do. Also, at tidy up time, some children ignore staff and continue to play rather than tidy the toys away. n The provider is ambitious and reflects on the improvements for the club. He identifies that the children have limited access to sports, due to the pandemic. To minimise the impact this has on children's physical health, he has put in place more access to the outdoors and physical activities. To extend these experiences
