This provision meets requirements

Children of all ages are well behaved and considerate of each other. Children speak to new adults with confidence and are keen to explain why they enjoy attending the club and their favourite activities. Staff gather information about children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They use this information to provide continuity in children's care to ensure they are happy and settled in the club.

n The staff team are clear about what they intend children to learn at the club. They set up areas for different types of play. They create areas for children to be imaginative, such as making animals with dough and a variety of resources. Children benefit from quiet areas, where they can relax and read a book or use construction toys to create their own models. For example, children are challenged to make their own rocket. However, staff do not always enable children to solve their own problems. For example, staff guide children to discover how ice melts before children have explored what might happen for themselves. n Children are well behaved. They listen to staff and follow instructions very well. When children say please and thank you they are praised for using good manners. Children respect their environment. They handle resources with care and tidy up themselves. Children take their plates to the kitchen after eating

They complement the strategies and activities which take place at school. For example, staff implement the same approaches the school use to support children with SEND to build relationships and enjoy their time at the club. Staff plan activities linked to what children are learning at school. For example, staff have created a vet's role-play area to support children's understanding of animals that they are reading books about at school. n Parents speak extremely positively about the club and the staff. They appreciate the opportunities for their children to socialise and enjoy activities with their friends. Parents comment their children are always happy to attend the club and find the staff approachable and helpful. They say children enjoy attending so

much that they use attendance at the club as a reward for good behaviour at home and school. Parents value the support staff give to their children. They say that children speak about what they do and enjoy the activities provided at the club. n The well-being and professional development of the close staff team are important to the provider. All staff complete mandatory training, including safeguarding and first aid. Regular supervisions and appraisals enable further training opportunities to be identified and accessed. Staff use recent training about introducing mathematical language into children's play within the activities they plan, as well as their interactions with the children. For example, staff talk to children about quantities and more and less as children use scales.
