This provision meets requirements

Staff are welcoming and friendly, so children arrive happy and eager to engage with them, knowing staff listen to them and value their opinions. Staff sensitively give children, who need more time in taking part in activities, one-to-one support. This helps them to feel secure and later they are happy and confident to choose to join team games. Staff provide an inclusive setting. For example, they ensure football teams are of mixed gender and abilities, providing good support for children to develop their skills, while having great fun.

This provision meets requirements

Staff support the skills children need for school effectively. Children listen well to staff and respond positively to them. They talk happily to each other as they take part in the activities and are eager to say what they are doing. For example, young children explain how they used nine different elements to make their rainbow. Staff ask good, open-ended questions, encouraging them to expand on their ideas and language skills. For example, when children say they want to be a scientist, staff ask what that means. Children explain they would do 'mad experiments' and staff help them to recall making a volcano with a fizzy drink. Children understand the staff's high expectations of their behaviour and are polite and respectful to each other and the adults. They have firm friendships and warm relationships with staff.

n Staff work well as a team, enabling children to make full use of all areas of the provision, while keeping them safe. Each coach has a manager depending on their role, who visit regularly, along with the nominated individual they observe and feedback on ways to develop practice. Staff say they are well supported by senior staff, who are always 'at the end of the phone'. Leaders and managers evaluate the quality of practice, seeking parents', staff and children's opinions. This ensures continuous development. n Staff have good partnerships with parents and the school, sharing important information. Some staff work in the school, so they have a good knowledge of the children and can work with teachers to meet children's individual needs successfully. For example, by knowing children's behaviour and attitudes to learning, they can plan to support or enhance this at the club. n Children are keen to share their opinions and ideas and staff use this effectively

in their planning, with sports and crafts always available. They adapt the planning as children's interests change or the dynamics of the group alter, which keeps children eager to participate. Overall, staff organise resources well so that children can make choices, indoors and outdoors. However, they do not always provide somewhere for children to be quiet and read books, if they wish to. n Children behave well and have good manners. They are kind to their friends and

2 May 2024 help each other. Staff provide good support so that children consider problems and how to resolve them, such as asking, 'How can we share this, so everyone gets some?' They give good explanations of the boundaries and involve children in setting rules, so they adhere to them willingly. When staff hear children say things, such as 'Would anyone else like one?' they praise them for considering others, which provides positive reinforcement. n Children extend their independence, helping with setting up activities, managing their personal care and taking part in daily routines. There is a strong emphasis on healthy living and children enjoy nutritional snacks, drink plenty of water, especially during and after sports, and understand the importance of hygiene. Children enjoy being active and working together, and staff encourage them to manage as much as they can for themselves. n Staff teach children about assessing risks and the importance of safe practices.

For example, they do not use the monkey bars when the rain has made them slippy. Staff remind them about using scissors at the table and tucking chairs under the table, so they do not become a tripping hazard. Children know to ask staff if they need to leave the room to get their coat, bag or use the toilet. Staff provide good supervision to keep them safe.
