Inspection of Jesse Gray Primary School Holiday Club Jesse Gray Primary School, Musters Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 7DD

This provision meets requirements

When children arrive at the club, staff warmly welcome them. Staff exchange greetings with children, ask them how they are and what they are looking forward to doing that day. Children are keen to join their friends and quickly become engrossed in the indoor resources, such as construction sets, that staff provide to help them to settle into the day ahead. During the day, staff have a well-planned routine that includes a wide range of group and team activities designed to extend children's physical, social and creative development. Staff have a clear set of expectations for children's behaviour, which they reinforce consistently throughout the day. Children respond positively to staff when they are reminded how long they have remaining at an activity, and quickly get ready for their next session.

This provision meets requirements

Children join in the activities staff deliver with gusto and recall their favourite activities as they talk to each other and staff during break and mealtimes. Staff adapt their teaching to meet the needs of the individual children in each group activity. They provide the youngest children and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities with additional guidance to help them to successfully join in games with the other children. Staff help children to develop their understanding of safe play. Children learn why it is not safe to play on wet outdoor play apparatus and what to do if they encounter something that makes them feel worried when playing on electronic devices at home.

n Leaders have a clear programme for the holiday club, which has a strong focus on children being both physically and emotionally healthy. They understand how to take account of the learning and development requirements of the early years foundation stage and successfully include elements into the games and activities they provide. During games, for example, staff include simple mathematical concepts, such as counting and subtraction, which children eagerly join in with. n Staff have a positive and enthusiastic approach to their work. They have a good understanding of how children learn and find out about the individual children in each group. They engage very well with the children and use their interests in subjects, such as outer space, to attract children to join in with others. Children's enjoyment of their time at the club shines out. n Children of all ages benefit from staff's knowledge and understanding of how to

have good physical health. Staff liaise with parents about the contents of children's lunch boxes and reinforce healthy choices when children choose a snack or what to eat first at lunchtime. Staff give children constant reminders about having a drink because children are so physically active in every adult-led session they have.

23 August 2023 n Leaders provide staff with highly relevant development opportunities, which are designed to increase staff's skill base and extend their knowledge of how to work with children in a range of ways. Staff use their skills and knowledge to great effect when they deliver sessions, such as team building games, yoga, dance and team challenges, to contribute to children having good emotional health. Children are enthusiastic and listen carefully to the clear instructions staff give. Children love to show off the dance routines they learn to the other children. n Staff who are the key person to the youngest children offer them close and supportive care. The key persons take time to find out as much as possible from parents about a child before they start to attend the club. Children are supported well to settle in as their key person shows an interest in the child's favourite topics and toys, to help to break the ice and encourage the children to

feel some security in a new space. n Leaders and staff reviewed children's traits following the COVID-19 pandemic and identified that children needed extra support to learn about sharing, taking turns and understanding other people's needs. Leaders provided specific training for staff to help them to understand how to develop these attributes through the club programme. Staff are adept at intervening at appropriate times to support children to share, work together and cooperate. For example, when they are given the challenge to form into groups of two, three, four and five during a game, children support each other to find a group if one of them is struggling.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

p.3

Safeguarding

Leaders and staff have a secure understanding of their responsibility to make sure children are safe and well cared for. Staff can describe the types of injuries or behaviours that might indicate a child is being abused. They understand how to manage the situation if a child discloses abuse to them. They fully understand the provider's safeguarding procedures should they have any concerns about a child's welfare or if they have any concerns that a colleague is displaying concerning behaviour around or with children. Leaders and staff make sure the premises and resources used by children are safe and secure.
