This provision meets requirements

Children demonstrate strong bonds with staff. They greet them with a genuine smile and are keen to engage in play with their friends when they arrive at their base rooms. Children take ownership of their club, make independent decisions and are confident to ask for or find additional resources. For example, during water play, they initiate their own games and discuss how to paint a whole wall with water. Children seek rollers and brushes and show pride in their achievements.

This provision meets requirements

Staff have high expectations for all children. They consistently praise children, encourage them to help others and foster their future life skills. The impact of this shines through. For instance, older children help their younger peers to access outdoor equipment from the shed. They give them instructions on how to play games, such as 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' Children of all ages behave exceptionally well together and show kindness and consideration to their peers. They thoroughly enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, where they can join in activities alongside others.

n Staff spend time getting to know children. They plan a wide range of activities that successfully capture children's interests and involvement. For example, children thoroughly enjoy board games and activities such as pool. They record their scores and build on their understanding of number and calculation as they play. n Children have daily opportunities for physical exercise and show high levels of determination as they practise new skills. They illustrate this as they use their arms to pedal and move on ride-on toys. Children enthusiastically bounce on space hoppers, learn how to use pogo sticks and excitedly race their peers on scooters. They show good coordination skills and enjoy games such as football and tennis. n Staff are caring and nurturing and support children to feel safe and reassured. For example, children take part in activities of interest with their key person. They delight in learning new card games and thoroughly enjoy staff engagement

Primary School 22 June 2022 on arrival after school. Children know the routines well and wash their hands before eating. They demonstrate good manners, say 'please and 'thank you', and listen to their friends as they talk about their day. n Staff form strong relationships with parents. They recently reflected on how they could improve information sharing even further and introduced a communications book. This helps to ensure continuity at the start and end of the day and has had a positive impact on how they meet children's individual needs. Parents speak highly about the setting.

They build on their understanding of the world and discuss different cultural dishes they could serve in their restaurant. Children share ideas, write a menu and delight in serving the inspector her food. n The managers support the staff very well to develop their knowledge and skills, for example through supervision, training and regular discussions. They lead the team effectively, along with the supervisor, and give a high priority to staff's welfare. Managers and staff seek the views of parents, children and staff. This, along with strong partnerships with the on-site school, helps to identify effective targets and drive ongoing improvements that benefit the children attending.
