This provision does not meet requirements

Children's safety is not assured. Leaders do not ensure their safeguarding policy regarding the safe use of mobile phones is implemented by staff. They are not able to demonstrate that staff in the club have suitable paediatric first-aid training. This potentially impacts on children's safety and welfare. Nevertheless, children enjoy their time at the club. They develop good relationships with staff and other children who attend. They excitedly share news about their day at school as they arrive. Children are confident around new visitors, they say 'Hello' and ask questions.

This provision does not meet requirements

Staff focus on the views and interests of children as they plan and provide activities. For example, children are introduced to a bug hunt activity and use resources to collect and investigate the bugs they find. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour. They gently remind them about the importance of sharing, taking turns and helping their friends during this activity. Children eagerly explore the outdoor area. They use visual aids with images of various insects to support their search. Staff talk with children about different habitats where insects live. Children curiously search between plants and under stones. They cheer with satisfaction as they discover a hidden bug. Children remain engaged in the activity. Staff facilitate their learning further as they discuss the life cycle of a caterpillar and how they turn into moths or butterflies.

n Staff provide children with good levels of supervision. They carefully monitor the number of children present throughout the session. Staff complete effective risk assessments to ensure the environment is free from hazards. However, leaders are not able to demonstrate that staff working with children have suitable paediatric first-aid training. This is because they do not review and check that staff hold an appropriate first-aid certificate. This poses a potential risk to children's health and welfare. Furthermore, the provider does not ensure the manager and staff comply with the club's safeguarding policy in relation to the safe use of mobile phones. Staff are required to use their personal mobiles phones for work purposes. This could potentially compromise children's safety. n Partnerships with parents are strong. They report how children are made to feel welcome and how they enjoy their time at the club. Parents receive daily

20 June 2022 select from a choice of nutritionally balanced foods, such as, sandwiches, fruits and vegetable sticks. Staff hold around the world themed menus every week, such as food from China, Mexico, America, and India. This supports children to learn about different foods and cultures. Children are confident and independent. They pour their own drinks and help themselves to food as they sit and chat to their friends. Mealtimes are a social occasion. n Children confidently seek out visitors to share details of what they like best about coming to the after-school club. They share how they can select their own resources and that they enjoy choosing what they would like to do. Children comment that they like spending time with their friends outside, playing games and completing craft activities. n Children's behaviour is good. Staff consistently apply fair boundaries, so that children learn to follow the rules for acceptable behaviour. Children are

respectful to others and readily take turns. For instance, during an animal guessing game, they listen to their peers descriptions of an animal and then put their hand up to ask questions. n Managers and staff actively seek comments and suggestions from parents. This helps them to develop the provision and make continuous improvement. Recently, parents shared ideas to enhance the club's menus. The manager states she has reflected on this and added more variation for children. n Leaders complete regular staff supervisions. They offer constructive feedback to help staff develop the quality of their practice. Staff report that they feel valued and well supported.
