p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children arrive happily at the club after school and greet each other and staff. They know the routines well and quickly settle to activities, choosing toys they want to play with. Children have good relationships with staff and each other. They talk about their day and what they are doing, and they laugh and joke together. Many siblings attend, and older children are caring towards younger children. As a result, children show a strong sense of belonging and benefit from a supportive and nurturing environment.

p.2

This provision meets requirements

Younger children seek support from staff if they are upset or need help. They are supported well in learning about expectations of their behaviour. For example, they know to tell staff if they are getting a drink of water or going to the bathroom. Children use the egg timer when playing the air hockey game so that they know when it is time to take turns to swap players. This successfully promotes their cooperative play and enjoyment of their game.

Children are confident speakers. They talk about the toys and games they like to play with and say that, most of all, they like going outside to play. Older children explain that they like coming to the club, being with their friends, and that everyone gets on well here.

n Staff have made good progress since the last inspection. They have completed training to improve their safeguarding knowledge. The manager also runs staff quizzes to refresh and consolidate their learning. In addition, a system to ensure that staff now receive supervision has been established. This enables managers to monitor staff's well-being and to identify any training needs. n Children develop healthy lifestyles. They regularly drink water and line up sensibly to wash their hands before mealtimes. Children enjoy a varied and balanced diet of freshly cooked meals after school. They make choices of the foods they like to eat, and most children choose to have second helpings. Mealtimes are relaxed and sociable, creating a calm family atmosphere. n Parents comment that their children are happy at the club, and new children have settled quickly.

well deployed to supervise and support children at all times.

Staff plan a good range of activities that complement children's learning and promote their social skills. Staff ensure that all required documents and records are well maintained. This promotes children's welfare, as staff know about children's individual needs.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Staff understand their responsibility to safeguard children. They have completed relevant training, including in 'Prevent' duty, and can identify signs that a child may be at risk of harm. Staff know the procedures to follow if they are worried about a child's welfare or if any allegations are raised against them. However, written safeguarding procedures have not been updated recently to reflect all aspects of safeguarding. Vetting and recruitment procedures are robust to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Regular staff supervision enables managers to monitor staff's ongoing suitability. Staff provide a safe learning environment for children. They complete daily risk assessments and promptly remove any hazards.
