This provision meets requirements

Children arrive confidently from school and greet staff in the sports hall. They demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the club. Children build good, respectful bonds with staff. They listen to and follow instructions. Staff know that children benefit from consistency in care and ensure they know the club routines. Staff act as good role models for children as they automatically use good manners and are genuinely interested in what children say and do. This helps to create a calm and relaxed environment where children feel valued.

This provision meets requirements

Children freely choose from a good range of resources, books and physical activities. Staff support children well to join in with team games such as dodgeball. They check that children understand the rules of the game and how to play safely so that all children who wish to may join in. Staff are keen to help children but encourage them to do things for themselves. Children help out with routine tasks. They help to tidy up and clean up after painting activities. This helps to develop a sense of belonging at the club. Staff follow children's lead in play and consider how to develop children's ideas. Children enjoy role play where they negotiate with each other as they take turns to be the customer in the book shop.

n Leaders ensure staff understand their vision and ethos for the club. With a focus on promoting healthy lifestyles through healthy food choices and regular physical activity, they encourage children to be creative, imaginative and to support each other. Staff know children well and ensure children's emerging interests are reflected in the activities they plan. n Leaders have failed to notify Ofsted of a significant event. This is a breach of the requirements of the early years foundation stage. However, the impact for children in this instance is minimal.

They state that knowing that their children are safe and well cared for provides reassurance to enable them to work. Parents add that their children are happy and enjoy attending the club.

24 April 2023 n Leaders provide younger children who attend Reception class with a key person. The key person helps children to settle when they start and provides reassurance to support them through times of change, such as the move to school. However, leaders recognise that the key-person role is not yet fully embedded to continue to provide support to children once they have settled. n Leaders reflect on practice and gather the views of children, parents and staff to understand how to make the club better for children. They have plans in place to enhance practice further. For example, leaders know that although staff work well with children and their interactions with them are positive, these can be developed further. n Staff are valued by leaders. They benefit from regular staff meetings and one- to-one meetings that help them understand their job role and responsibilities. Leaders provide staff with professional development opportunities, encouraging

Children follow good hygiene routines.

Safeguarding
