This provision meets requirements

Children thoroughly enjoy being at the club. They smile broadly when staff greet them and introduce them to new people. Children put their school bags and coats in the cloakroom and eagerly tell staff about their day. They settle very quickly and follow the established routines very well. Children develop positive relationships with staff, they are keen to see who else is present, and to explore the activities set out for them.

This provision meets requirements

Children develop healthy lifestyles. All children wash their hands when they arrive at the club, and some children approach the teatime staff to ask what there is for tea. They have plenty of opportunities to play and explore a wide range of resources, both inside and outside.

This provision meets requirements

Children's behaviour is exemplary. They consistently use their manners when they talk to each other and to staff. Children enjoy helping one another, they take turns, share and explain their thinking to one another. For example, they use pieces of track to build marble runs, they discuss how to make the 'best, fastest' track. They take it in turns to roll their marble and wait for their friends turn to be finished before they take their own turn. Children build positive relationships together because they are respectful of their friends.

n Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the club. They comment that staff are extremely friendly and go 'above and beyond' to meet their needs. Parents are very complimentary about the quality of the meals that their children are offered. Parents say that mealtime provision is a positive support for families. Parents are confident that their children are safe and happy here and that information from school is always passed on. n Staff find out about children's likes, dislikes and interests before they start at the club. During the COVID-19 pandemic, staff completed home visits, so that children and parents knew who the club staff were. Staff use the information they gather about children to plan suitable activities and experiences for them. n Staff ask children what they would like to do, and they set out familiar games and activities for children. Children choose what they want to do and confidently

For example, older children help their younger friends to tie back their hair and roll their sleeves up before they begin making play dough. n Staff know the children exceptionally well.

12 October 2022 strategies to manage how they feel. Staff support children to talk and listen to each other and to share their experiences. Children are learning to consider their own well-being and to be mindful of how their friends might be feeling. n Teatime is a significant experience for children. Staff create a social occasion where children learn how to behave at mealtimes. Staff offer children a range of healthy choices, such as toast with beans and/or cheese, salad, fruit and yoghurt. They wait for everyone on their table to be served before they begin to eat. Children are encouraged to try new things. For example, staff encourage them to try pepper strips with their salad. Children recall when they had a Chinese meal at the club and how they tried to use chopsticks. n The staff team work very well together. They have designated roles throughout the session. For example, one staff member engages children in making dough

and another takes charge of the register at the beginning and end of the session. All staff risk asses the activities that children take part in. They work exceptionally well together to supervise children to keep them safe. n Staff say they are very happy working at the club. They feel supported to develop their knowledge and skills. The manager supports staff to identify and attend training that they are interested in, and that would benefit the children attending the club. For example, staff have recently attended training focused on supporting children to self-regulate and understand their own behaviour and feelings.

Safeguarding

Managers and staff have a very good understanding of safeguarding. Staff implement clear safety measures, indoors and outdoors, to ensure children are kept safe. Staff complete relevant training to ensure that their knowledge of safeguarding and child protection is current and up to date. Staff are aware of the indicators of when a child may be at risk of harm. They know how to record their concerns and who to report them to. The manager ensures that all the required safety checks are completed to make sure that all staff working with children are suitable to do so.
