This provision meets requirements

Children have a wonderful and enjoyable time at this club. They are spoilt for choice by the wide range of activities and games made available to them by the welcoming and enthusiastic staff team. Children show their independence by registering their own attendance and selecting what they would like to eat from the healthy snack options. Children delight in showing their creative skills as they use their imagination to make their own unique artwork. They involve the staff team in their play, be that getting them to join in making things with dough, building structures with blocks, or being involved in games of pool or dance competitions. Children are familiar with good hygiene practises and rarely need reminding to wash their hands.

This provision meets requirements

Children behave extremely well and are very polite. All children at the club are very considerate of each other and disagreements are rare. Older children invite those younger than themselves to take part in activities with them, acting as good role models. For example, they demonstrate how to wash and dry plates and cups after snack time and help them tidy resources away at the end of the day. Younger children are frequently cared for by familiar staff, who also work in the host school, which helps them settle quickly and feel safe.

n The close working relationship between the club and the host school deserves high praise. Leaders and staff at the club and school act as a single family, striving to best meet the individual needs of all children. This means that staff at the club know the children particularly well and build positive and supportive relationships with them. As a result, areas of learning focus in school for children are further supported in the club. n Staff at the club provide children with educational activities on computers and consoles, but ensure that this screen time is limited. Children select the time period they will get to use computers, and understand the clear club rules on time restricted use. The use of computers is closely supervised and rigorous arrangements are in place to ensure children can only access appropriate content. n Children at the club talk jokingly about how they 'love the food at the club best

26 January 2022 development and training. They explain how development targets are worked on in a supportive manner, and that training they complete helps enhance their own knowledge and skill level. Staff say the team works really well together to meet the needs of the children. Staff complement each other's high-quality practice. n Children's learning in school is complemented well. Staff know to help children to develop their social and verbal communication skills. For example, they read books to children or engage them in small group activities. This helps children to feel more confident as they begin to express their thoughts more fluently. n Staff at the club regularly seek the views of children and parents in order to review the quality of the service they provide. This ensures that activities and resources continue to interest and challenge children.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The setting owner has taken effective action to address the actions raised at the previous inspection. As a result, staff have a secure knowledge of the signs and symptoms which may indicate a child is being abused. Staff understand the procedures to follow should they have concerns for the welfare of a child, or should they need to report an allegation. Effective training means that staff now have a firm understanding of current safeguarding legislation relating to the 'Prevent' duty. The owner ensures that required documentation relating to staff training and suitability is in place and available to be viewed. Children are well supervised by staff at all times and the premises are secure, which helps keep children safe.
