This provision meets requirements

Children arrive happily and are greeted warmly by staff. Early years children are collected by their key worker and taken to the after-school club. Children know to register with staff to keep them safe. Children are kept busy, moving from one activity to the next. Time passes quickly, and the children are reluctant for the session to end.

This provision meets requirements

Staff engage well with the children. They give clear direction and expectation of what is happening. This means that behaviour is good, and an ethos of respect is evident. Staff regularly check in with children to see if they are ok. Children from all backgrounds and abilities are treated equally and encouraged to join in. Children of mixed ages learn to work together in teams and compete against friends in a game of curling. Both staff and children laugh and chatter together, enjoying the experience.

n Children are courteous and respectful of each other and the resources. Young children tell their friends to put pencils face up into pots to help preserve them. Staff light-heartedly encourage children to use their manners, asking if they are in their pocket or been left in the classroom. This keeps the mood light and prompts children to nudge friends and remind them to say thank you. n The setting offers a menu that the children have chosen. Favourite fruits, such as watermelon and strawberries, are offered at the start of the session. Children know to wash hands before sitting down at the table. Staff offer water or squash and encourage children to stay hydrated. Staff support children to make smoothies, and they are given the option of which fruit they would like to use, either mango or berries. Children sit with their friends to enjoy and compare their drinks. n Children enjoy a warm-up game of 'silent ball'. They communicate with body

language and encourage friends to catch the ball. Staff make sure that all children are included by moving the children around and adapting the rules and giving forfeits. This means that children of all ages and abilities are involved. A period of free-flow play in the outdoor space gives children opportunity to run, climb and play independently. n Partnerships with others are effective. Staff listen to the views of children and parents to adapt the way things are done. Staff think of different ways to play dodgeball to add variety to a much-loved activity. Parents appreciate the flexibility of the online booking system and call it 'a lifesaver' for busy working families. They feel confident in what the club has to offer and feel relieved at the opportunity to book into the affiliated holiday club.

27 June 2023 n Leadership and management is strong. There is a clear vision of providing positive sporting experiences for the children. Staff feel supported and are given opportunities for ongoing training and professional development. Managers are reflective and adaptive in the way the setting runs to fit with the needs of all involved. n Children show high levels of enjoyment and confidence, and they cooperate and communicate well. There is a structured routine. Children know the run of events and often repeat to friends what will be happening next. However, an imbalance of adult-led activity does not always give children the freedom to explore their imagination or allow choice.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff show a clear understanding of their safeguarding responsibilities and how to keep children safe. Training is robust and managers check staff's understanding by asking questions. Staff understand different forms of abuse and matters which relate to the local area. All staff know the children well and understand the importance of this with regards to safeguarding. The setting is safe and clean, and hygiene practices are embedded. Allergies and medication are managed well. Children wait with staff and are picked up from the front of school and handed over to parents or carers.
