n The management team has high expectations for staff. Managers carry out regular supervision sessions to support staff's emotional well-being and identify any training needs. Staff have regular opportunities to access training. For example, they have recently completed food allergy training to strengthen their knowledge in this area. Staff work well as a small team. They comment that they feel happy and well supported in their roles. n Children develop their independence skills well. Staff have developed an environment where children can independently access a range of resources and activities. For example, older children sit and complete homework online. Children enjoy the responsibility of undertaking tasks such as washing their hands and helping to tidy up before snack. This supports them to become confident in their own ability. n The management team and staff evaluate their practice together with the

children. Staff know children well and value their opinions. For example, children post activity ideas into a suggestion box.

5 December 2022 n Parents are happy with the service provided by the club and feel that staff meet the needs of the children well. They say their children always come home from the club happy, with lots of stories about what they have done that day. Staff form positive relationships with parents and keep them fully informed about and involved in their children's day. n Children's good health is promoted well in the club. Children are provided with fresh fruit and healthy snacks each day, and are encouraged to think and talk about healthy eating. For example, at snack time, children talk about which foods are good and bad. Staff extend this further by discussing slow- and fast- releasing energy with the children. The management team has robust systems in place to ensure that children's allergies and dietary requirements are considered and included. As a result, children with allergies are kept safe. n Children develop good social skills and have high levels of self-confidence. They

are keen to share their feedback, and tell visitors that they love coming to the club and spending time with their friends. Others talk about how they enjoy the craft activities, and feel that staff listen to them and to what they want to do. n Children have plenty of opportunities to be active and enjoy a variety of physical activities during each session. They have access to the school playground, where they enjoy football and practising their physical skills on the climbing frame. Children also have access to a forestry area where they can dig, plant and be creative. The management team would like to develop the outdoor area further and add lighting, to make it accessible all year round.

Safeguarding

The management team and staff have a secure knowledge of safeguarding and child protection issues. The environment is safe and secure and risk assessments are effective in minimising risks to children at the club. Staff have attended safeguarding training and understand the possible indicators of abuse. This helps staff to maintain an up-to-date knowledge of new legislation in relation to child protection. They know the procedures to follow should they have any concerns about a child or colleague, or if an allegation is made against a colleague. Staff closely supervise children to promote their welfare.
