Children arrive happy and excited to attend the after-school club. They are greeted by warm and caring staff, who have built trusting relationships with the children. This helps to nurture children's sense of belonging. Children are eager to share stories of their school day and their achievements. Staff display children's work and certificates from outside of school. This is a talking point as the children talk about their activities in the wider community. They show pride in their achievements and congratulate each other.

This provision meets requirements

Children generally behave well and understand the club boundaries. Staff are positive role models and are skilful at redirecting the children to activities when they become a little over-excited. Children and staff negotiate and compromise. For example, they agree that if they help to tidy up together, they can play football outside. This helps to build children's self-esteem and respect for others.

Children know how to keep themselves safe as they move around the club. For example, as children walk through the school to access the playground, they receive gentle reminders from staff to hold the door and mind the steps.

n The manager has a clear vision for the club. She intends for children to have a place where they have fun, feel welcomed and have a sense of belonging. The manager and staff are committed to reviewing the provision to help enhance the opportunities that children receive. They gather feedback from parents and children to help them reflect. Recent comments from children about introducing a cosy area have been implemented; they now have extra space where they can be calm and relaxed after their day at school. n Staff ensure that materials for craft activities are available throughout the club and that children explore these materials independently. For example, children create a 'peace' craft for Remembrance Day. They learn that doves symbolise peace, freedom and love. Children talk about the meaning of this and their memories. They show respect and tolerance as they value each other's opinions. Children show positive attitudes towards others and are well-prepared for life in

n Staff provide a range of activities and resources that promote children's interests and learning. Children of all ages play and interact together. They often absorb themselves for a long time in a chosen activity. For example, they use their physical skills in a game of 'tag' outside. They weave and run, negotiating space as they avoid being tagged by their friends.

Safeguarding

Staff have good knowledge of the signs and symptoms of possible abuse and neglect. They know the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child in their care or the professional conduct of a colleague.
