This provision meets requirements

When new children start attending, they are supported by staff to get to know their peers. For instance, they are invited to tell others their name and favourite food during a circle time. If children are not confident to express their views, staff support them. This includes asking them to whisper their name and favourite food so staff can relay this information to their peers. Children's health and safety is promoted well by staff. For instance, they remind children to drink water to help keep themselves hydrated when they play outdoors in hot weather. Children hold discussions with staff about rules that are in place, helping them to understand what is expected of them. Children say that if someone is talking, they need to listen. They say that staff keep them safe because they are always kind and if something happens, they are always there to help.

This provision meets requirements

Outdoors, children are supported to make connections between events happening in the world and their own play. For instance, staff remind them of the Olympics taking place and show them how to participate in obstacle events. Children copy staff and show good balance and coordination when they play running and jumping games. Children show their imagination when they mime, pretending to pack luggage to go to the beach. Staff ask children to guess what their peers are packing. Children show excitement when they guess correctly and say, 'umbrella'.

n Staff are supported to extend their professional development. This includes providing them with training opportunities to develop their knowledge of how to support children with mindfulness. For instance, staff help children to follow breathing techniques and provide them with resources to encourage them to be calm. n The manager identified that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some children needed further support with their behaviour. Because of this staff introduce plenty of team games, where children listen, follow instructions and realise that they cannot come first all the time. This includes playing games where children have to stop and freeze when music stops playing. The child who is still moving is out of the game until there is one child left. n Staff help children to take responsibility for caring for the environment. For example, they ask them to tidy up toys when the routine of the day changes.

Children are quick to follow staff's instructions and help to put toys and resources away. n When children first start attending, staff find out from parents about children's interests. Staff use this information to provide activities children like. They spend time with them to help them to settle, promoting their emotional well-being.

31 July 2024 n The management team and staff help children to learn about how they can keep themselves healthy. For instance, they arrange for athletes to speak to the children about how they can eat healthy foods. However, staff do not support all children, such as those in receipt of additional funding, as effectively as others during snack and mealtimes. They do not provide the same routines for all children to follow so they are able to feel more included during these times of the day. n Staff complement the educational programmes that children receive when they are at school. For example, they offer children plenty of opportunities to be physically active. They take part in following dance routines that staff model. Children are asked to work in teams to make up their own routines to music. n Staff share information with parents about activities their children enjoy, helping to keep them informed about their children's experiences. Parents like that staff

are consistent and say how it is nice to see familiar faces caring for their children. They explain how their children settle quickly and do plenty of activities. n Staff respect children's views and hold conversations with them to encourage them to express their thoughts and ideas. For instance, when children use foam bricks to build and construct, staff ask them questions to encourage them to talk about their structures. Staff involve children in reflecting on the effectiveness of the club. Their views are taken on board and included in the planning of activities offered.
