This provision meets requirements

Managers and staff are enthusiastic and motivated, they work hard to make this club a safe and welcoming environment for all the children attending. They make good use of the staggered finishing times at the on-site school to let the younger children settle in, before the older children arrive. This is especially helpful at the start of term when new children are settling. Children quickly learn the consistent routine. They put away their personal belongings, before washing their hands, and they choose a table to sit at for a healthy snack. Independence is fostered well by the staff, with children being encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and each other. For example, children check the number of seats at tables, and bring extra chairs where needed. Younger children hand out plates, while their older friends take round trays with sandwiches and fruit. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour, and children behave well. They use lovely manners, wait

Outdoors, staff plan activities to build children's physical skills. Children say they enjoy playing football, using bats and balls, and joining in group games with the parachute. Children know that the exercise they do outside is good for them. They know it helps to keep them healthy. Children are encouraged to consider safety during their time at the club. For example, children mop up spills, or brush the floor to avoid anyone slipping over. The club is calm, and children are busily engaged in activities.

n Managers support staff with regular meetings and appraisals. There is a shared vision for a welcoming and inclusive club, where children can safely relax, play, and learn, while having fun. The team regularly review children's activities. This helps the staff to provide high-quality care for the children attending. n Children with special educational needs, and/or disabilities, (SEND), are supported well within the club. Staff have good communication with the on-site school, and a strong partnership with parents. This helps the club to share relevant information daily. Parents of children with SEND, value the time staff spend getting to know and understand their children. They say this helps with consistency, and makes a real difference to their child's engagement, and to keeping them safe. Children's individual needs are met well. n Staff listen to children, and consistently model good behaviours. For example,

they demonstrate negotiation skills when they ask children to move an activity to a different area. Children work together well. Occasionally, staff do not explain the specific behaviour they are praising, to help children to better understand

10 October 2023 exactly which behaviours are good. n Staff provide activities to help children to recognise different emotions in themselves and others. They talk with children about ways to manage different feelings. Children learn to regulate their behaviour. They build knowledge that can help to keep them safe and well. n Good questions are used by staff to help children to be curious. For example, when making dough, staff asked children to consider what might happen to the mixture when the oil is added. Children test and problem solve. They develop resilience as they persevere to make the mixture work. Children are proud of their achievements. n Hygiene routines are in place. Children attend to their own toileting needs. They know to wash their hands after using the toilet, and before eating. Staff help children to understand the importance of good hygiene, through conversations about handwashing to remove germs. Children can begin to develop their

knowledge around the importance of good hygiene.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Safeguarding

Managers and staff attend regular safeguarding training to keep their knowledge current. They know their role and responsibilities in keeping children safe from harm. For example, they recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse, and they know what to do of they are concerned about a child's welfare. The club is safe and secure. For example, registers are taken to sign children in and out. Children can only leave with a known adult. Staff all hold a current paediatric first-aid certificate, and they know what to do in the case of an emergency.
