Inspection of The All Hallows Kabin All Hallows Primary School, Priory Road, Gedling, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire NG4 3JZ

This provision meets requirements

Children are happy during their time at the club. They excitedly play a game of 'monster feet' when they put on oversized shoes and negotiate obstacles. When each child finishes their friends give them a huge round of applause. This helps children to feel part of the club family and have a sense of security. Older children welcome the opportunity to act as a good role model. They buddy up with younger children who are new to the club, helping them to make friendships. Children talk about how they have asked their mummy if they can stay later at the club, as they do not want to leave. Others say they like everything about the club and comment they love all the different activities.

This provision meets requirements

Children thrive on the praise they receive from staff. For instance, staff thank children for spontaneously helping their friends to tidy up without being asked. The impact of this shines through as the relationships children build with staff and their peers are kind and caring. Children have close bonds with the staff team and know that they can speak to a trusted adult. When very minor disagreements take place, children go straight to staff. Staff encourage children to discuss what has happened and how they can resolve the matter. This helps children to understand how to manage their own behaviours.

n Most of the staff have worked together in the club for many years. The staff team are all enthusiastic about their role. The manager provides staff with one- to-one appraisal meetings and a training schedule that takes account of mandatory training, such as first aid and food hygiene. However, staff do not benefit from more focused training, for example, to further enhance their already good interaction skills. n There are strong links between the host school and the club as the club employs staff who work with children in school on a daily basis. Staff talk to the teachers to find out what the children are learning in school. As a result, staff complement children's learning at school in the club. The youngest children are confident and independent and able to express their views. n Staff appreciate that some children need the opportunity to rest, for instance, when children express tiredness after walking to the park and back. They ask to

play age-appropriate games on electronic devices. Staff provide these and the children sit quietly alongside their friends playing the games. n Children are enthusiastic about the activities staff offer them. They demonstrate this as they excitedly learn how to use a lemon squeezer to make traditional lemonade. Staff encourage the children to describe how the lemon tastes and decide what ingredients they may need to make the liquid drinkable.

10 August 2022 n Staff place a high priority on helping children to feel valued and promote the diversity of the children who attend the club. For example, children made a self- portrait and these are attractively displayed on the wall. n Staff encourage children to take ownership of the club. Children vote a peer into the role of club representative. Their role is to speak with their friends to ask what activities they may want, or what food they would like. This helps to create a culture of respect, where children's voices are heard and valued. n Staff plan a wide range of exciting and different activities that successfully capture children's interests and promote their involvement. For example, children thoroughly enjoy creating pretend snorkel masks. They persevere with their colouring for a long time and use their hand-to-eye coordination to cut out their masks. Children proudly show off their finished article to visitors.

n Staff ensure children have daily opportunities for physical exercise and children show high levels of determination as they practise new skills. They illustrate this as they learn how to negotiate monkey bars and the firefighter pole on a visit to the park. They show good strength and coordination and enjoy showing off their cartwheels and running down slopes. n Parents are happy with the care their children receive. They report that their children are always happy when they collect them. Parents say staff keep them up to date with information from the club using an online application. This helps to promote good relationships between parents and the club, and in turn benefits children's enjoyment.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

The staff team can recognise the signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk from harm. This includes how children could be exposed to extremist and or radical views. Staff know the correct procedures to follow to report concerns about the welfare of a child. The premises are secure. Closed circuit television is in place at the front gate. Parents buzz to announce their arrival. Staff only let people into the club if they recognise them. Staff make sure children learn about road safety awareness when they walk to the park, which helps to keep them safe.
