Inspection of Sunny Days Pre School Fynamore Fynamore Primary School, Calne SN11 9UG

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children show that they have formed very positive relationships with staff. They are keen to share their news when they are picked up from school. Staff show interest in what the children have to say, responding to their news with more questions. Children proudly tell staff that they got a lunchtime award and tell them what they ate for lunch, for example. Children enter the club confidently, showing they are familiar with the environment and routines. Some children choose to draw pictures, others make patterns with beads or play with their favourite toys, such as the cars. Children play well together cooperatively and make up their own games. For example, they make ramps together with wooden blocks and see who can make their car or aeroplane land on the cushion. Children keep trying and staff praise the children for their achievements to boost their self-confidence.

Staff know the children well, including their likes and play interests. When children are not keen to join in with other activities, staff successfully encourage them to have a go and offer them support. Children then enjoy a different activity, such as playing football. Staff share information with parents and/or carers daily to share news about the children's day, the food they have had and their well-being, such as any accidents they may have had.

Safeguarding

The manager and staff have a sound knowledge of safeguarding and child protection issues. They know the possible signs that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. Staff know the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child's well-being or the conduct of a colleague. Recruitment procedures are robust and help ensure that adults working with children are suitable to do so. There are good systems in place for checking staff's ongoing suitability. Staff carry out detailed risk assessments for picking the children up from school to help promote their safety.
