Inspection of Kidz Hub Bristol Limited Westbury Park Primary School, 13 Bayswater Ave, Redland, BRISTOL BS6 7NU

p.1

This provision meets requirements

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy their time at the club. Staff plan a wide variety of activities to help children stay engaged and motivated. For example, children show good focus when building with small construction building bricks and making various crafts. They challenge and set goals for themselves on the 'trail' outside, using their physical skills to help them balance and reach the end. Staff provide a range of activities inside and children are free to move between playing indoors and outside. Children are keen to join in with the interesting and varied activities on offer and invite staff to join their play. Staff skilfully adapt their levels of support and expectations to each child's age. For example, staff support younger children to count to 10 and provide opportunities for older children who speak English as an additional language learn to count to 20 in Chinese.

This provision meets requirements

Staff are very attentive to children. Younger children enjoy spending quiet time when listening to stories and staff ask them politely 'Are you comfortable?' This helps to ensure children feel safe and secure. Staff listen, ask questions, and play with children without intruding on their games. Children's choices and opinions are valued and respected. For example, children choose where they would like to go on their trips, including places such as the cinema or local farms.

n Leaders excel in providing high-quality care to suit the needs of all children, particularly those with SEND. They have formed strong links with other professionals and share and receive relevant information consistently. As a result, this meets children's individual needs very well. n Children confidently talk about their experiences at the club and what they enjoy most. For example, older children say that they look forward to coming to see their friends and that there is always lots to do. This helps children's personal and social development and supports them to build relationships with children and adults. n Staff are positive role models and they show empathy and kindness to younger children that are new to the club. Staff ensure they spend time settling the children and check in with them. For example, staff play hide and seek and encourage the younger children to join in and form friendships with the older

25 October 2023 tremendously. As a result, children's behaviour is excellent. n Children enjoy preparing a range of healthy foods during their time at the club. Staff skilfully promote healthy choices and encourage good hygiene practices. For example, children are reminded to wash their hands before and after making their own fruit kebabs for snack time. Staff obtain information regarding any special dietary requirements, preferences, and food allergies, and ensure they adhere to this information accordingly. n Leaders ensure that staff have access to online training to keep their knowledge and skills up to date. Leaders understand the value of providing learning opportunities for staff. Staff have recently attended 'Team Teach' training and commented on how they feel they have a deeper understanding of children's behaviour. n Children have opportunities to play outside daily in the fresh air, regardless of

the weather. Older children have fun playing football and younger children enjoy playing games such as 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' This helps to promote their physical development and well-being. n Parents speak very highly of the club and all the staff. They comment that their children often do not want to leave at the end of the day. Parents report that communication with staff is good, however, feel an overview of the day and what is planned would be useful. Leaders value feedback from parents and regularly send out questionnaires to aid their self-evaluation.

Safeguarding

All staff provide a safe and secure environment for children and are aware of their role to help keep children safe. Leaders and staff confidently recognise signs and symptoms that may be indicators that children are at risk. They are acutely aware of the procedures to follow and the outside agencies they should report concerns to. Leaders ensure that risk assessments are effective and are ongoing throughout the day to minimise any potential risks and help keep children safe. Furthermore, leaders have a robust recruitment procedure in place to help ensure the suitability of all staff that work with children. They monitor ongoing suitability of staff through regular appraisals.
