Inspection of Go Go Makers Priors Field Primary School, Clinton Lane, Kenilworth CV8 1BA

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children are happy and keen to be involved in the play activities that staff provide. Staff create a very welcoming environment and children arrive happily and settle quickly. Once all children who are expected have arrived, they sit together for group time and talk about the theme for the day's activities, which is 'Jungle'. Children readily engage in discussions and are keen to have their say when asked about what animals they think live in the jungle.

This provision meets requirements

Children behave well and play cooperatively. The relationships between staff and children are good. While sitting together for group time, staff ask the children to recall the behaviour rules. Children know that they must not share their lunch and must not leave the designated playrooms. They are aware of the expectation regarding 'kind hands, kind feet and kind words', and staff remind them that they should drink regularly.

This provision meets requirements

Children are physically active. The timetable of activities includes dance and outdoor games. Children listen intently and follow directions well while learning a dance routine, and they practise skills while enjoying team ball games. Planned activities encourage children to be inventive and work together to meet an aim set for them by staff. Children practise their handling skills in different ways during their play, and their drawing and writing skills are good.

n Parents initially provide information about their child in an 'All about me' document. This helps staff to address children's individual needs and includes information on the child's likes and things that are important to them. There is also a section where parents are asked if there are any relevant issues to record under the title, 'To help keep me healthy and safe'. Parents receive a feedback card at the end of every day which identifies the activities that their child has taken part in. n In accordance with their different ages, children are divided into groups for planned activities. The activities enable children to practise the skills they are gaining in school, while having great fun in their holiday playscheme. n Children enjoy involvement in a 'Cheetah Challenge'. They work in pairs and the challenge is to see who can create the tallest climbing frame for a cheetah. Resources provided for the children include sticks of different sizes, plastic

beakers, sticky tape and straws. Children concentrate well and are proud of their creations. n Children confidently talk with staff about what a tiger looks like and they share their knowledge about tigers, such as, 'they can climb trees' and 'they can jump'.

24 February 2023 Children then use paper plates, paint and strips of black paper to create a tiger's face. Staff extend the activity by providing each child with a large piece of paper and challenging them to draw as many jungle animals as they can. They draw intricate pictures. Staff then challenge children to count how many pictures they have drawn. Some children joke and say that they have drawn tiny ants and mosquitos that staff have not noticed. n Group games outdoors help children to understand the need for rules. They support each other in teams as they run and weave in and out of cones and then do the same while kicking a football. n Children move their bodies in different ways while moving to music. The warmup includes counting a specific number of claps and jumps, and then they pretend to be different animals. They crawl like a turtle, jump like a cat, run like a dog and fly like a bird. Children react immediately when staff call out 'stop'. They are

very attentive while learning an 'add-on' dance routine that links to the jungle theme. The session ends with children deciding on an animal that they want to pretend to be. When the music stops, they freeze in a pose that depicts the animal. n Children of all ages sit together at lunchtime and interact well. Parents provide packed lunches. They are informed that this is a 'healthy eating club' and that suggestions for healthy lunches are provided in the club's information pack. Parents are also informed that in order to safeguard children who may have food allergies, they must not pack anything containing nuts.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff are aware of the signs of abuse and neglect and know the referral procedures to follow if they have a concern. Staff understand their responsibilities to prevent children being drawn into situations that may put them at risk. The premises are safe and secure so that children cannot leave unsupervised and unwanted visitors cannot gain access. At regular intervals throughout the day, staff count the number of children present. A password system is part of checks to ensure that at the end of the day children are collected only by adults authorised to do so. Staff identify and successfully minimise potential risks indoors and outdoors. Recruitment and selection procedures meet requirements for safeguarding children.
