similarities and differences during lively conversations. Children's learning is complemented well. n Children enjoy a range of nutritious snacks after school.

13 July 2022 Children enjoy many opportunities to be physically active after school. n Staff place a high focus on children's safety. They use walkie-talkies to ensure children are safe while still being able to freely choose where to play. Staff complete regular risk assessments to help to minimise hazards and ensure the club resources are safe to play with. n Parents say they have a warm welcome from the staff when they arrive to collect their children. They say staff know their children really well and pick up when things are not quite right. However, not all parents know who their child's key person is. This limits the effectiveness of parents sharing information to help key people meet their children's individual needs. n Staff recruitment is robust. The directors use a safer recruitment process to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. A thorough induction process and ongoing supervisions enable the directors to monitor staff quality effectively.
