Inspection of Jaegar Academy HC Lyndhurst Primary School, Grove Lane, London, Surrey SE5 8SN

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children play in a welcoming and well-resourced environment and enjoy coming to the club. When they arrive, they quickly engage in activities that are planned around their interests and what they would like to do. Staff place a strong focus on getting to know each individual child. They support children to make strong friendships with each other and form secure and trusting relationships. Staff are positive role models for behaviour. Children are very kind to each other and have a good understanding of what is expected of them when they are at the club. They confidently share the club rules with each other and talk about the importance of respect. Older children support the younger ones when playing games and help them when needed.

This provision meets requirements

Staff listen to children with interest and engage them in thoughtful conversations. Children are good communicators and can describe their ideas in detail. For instance, they concentrate and focus as they use pipettes with paint and scrapers on canvas. Children use their imaginations as they talk through the colours they are using and the patterns they are making. They praise each other when they show off their finished artwork. This helps to promote their self-esteem and confidence.

n Staff know the children well and support their individual needs and interests. They are highly engaging, and children invite them to join in when they play board games and during outdoor play and physical games. Children also play well together and relish in having opportunities to work together. For example, they play with water, transporting it down guttering and then taking it in turns to pump it back up. They also enjoy building dens as they discuss what they can use and work together to create it. n The manager uses self-evaluation effectively to reflect on the club's strengths and weaknesses. She includes the views of staff, parents and children in this process. For example, staff ask parents to complete feedback forms and children to reflect on what they enjoy doing. Children also help make choices about the activities at the club. Based on feedback from parents recently, the manager and staff have introduced more outings for children.
