This provision meets requirements

Staff work with parents to ensure that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities can participate in all activities and experiences. They make adjustments to ensure that the club is inclusive and children have access to the required level of support. For example, children, who do not want to participate in specific games, enjoy calling out the numbers. Children listen well and patiently wait for their turn to run when their number is called. Children behave well. They develop good physical skills. Children are encouraged to be independent. For example, they wash their hands after using the bathroom and know when they need to drink water to stay hydrated.

2 June 2023 n Staff work together as a team. They say that they feel well supported. The providers are passionate about providing high-quality care. They implement robust recruitment and induction procedures. This means that staff are suitable and understand their roles. Senior managers carry out visits, observe staff's practice and give feedback. This helps to drive improvements forward. n Children are polite and patiently take turns during games with their friends. For instance, they listen, follow instructions and walk carefully down the outdoor staircase to the play area. However, on occasions, staff are not always consistent when communicating their expectations to children during activities. Having said that, children's behaviour is good. n Staff encourage children to talk about their feelings. Children confidently seek support from staff when they are hurt or upset. Staff are attentive and encourage children to talk through ways to solve problems and disagreements.
