p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children show that they feel safe and secure at this friendly and welcoming club. Staff provide a warm and welcoming environment and ensure that the individual needs of all children are met. Children enter the club with enthusiasm, know where to find the resources they need and quickly become engrossed in play. Children are highly motivated, eager to join in and enjoy playing games with their friends. For instance, they play 'ultimate tag' and chase each other around in the spacious outdoor area. Children know that when they have been 'tagged' they must crouch down until another child touches them.

This provision meets requirements

Children behave very well. They quickly respond to instructions from staff and play harmoniously alongside their friends. Leaders and staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and conduct. At the beginning of each day, staff sit with children and reinforce the rules of the club. These include being kind to others and making sure they are always within sight of staff. Staff act as good role models and use positive reinforcement to reward children. For instance, children receive stickers, wristbands and/or medals in recognition of their achievements.

This provision meets requirements

Children have tremendous fun and become engrossed as they play. Staff plan interesting activities, based on a weekly theme. For instance, children make tennis racquets as part of a theme on the Olympics. Children use paper plates and wooden lolly sticks and create their own designs. They use these to bounce a balloon and calculate how long they can keep it in the air.

n Effective care practices successfully promote children's confidence in their own abilities. For example, staff encourage them to try out new experiences, such as balancing along wobbly bridges and walking along balancing beams backwards. Children show high levels of resilience as they practise these newly acquired skills. n Leaders and staff place a strong focus on supporting children's physical and emotional health. Sports and outdoor activities are an integral part of the everyday routines. Staff provide an abundance of sports activities, and most children join in with energy and enthusiasm. For example, they participate in standing long jump and compare who can jump the furthest. However, on occasion, staff do not respond to individual children's interests and adapt the routines accordingly. For instance, when some children express that they do not want to join in with physical activities staff do not offer them an alternative.

30 July 2024 to drink regularly to keep themselves fully hydrated. Children benefit from the support they receive from staff to be aware of the importance of making healthy food choices and of being physically active. n Overall, staff teach children how to keep themselves safe. For example, during creative activities, they explain to children that they must keep away from the hot glue gun and that only adults are permitted to use this as it is hot. However, less emphasis is placed on helping children to gain an understanding of how to keep themselves safe when using digital technology. n Leaders and managers place a high priority on staff well-being. They foster an environment for staff to feel happy and well supported in their roles and responsibilities. They highly value the staff's professional development. For example, staff receive good support to extend their knowledge and skills through appropriate training.

For example, children talk about the roles of the emergency services and take part in activities to mark a range of festivals. n Leaders are committed to the ongoing development of the club and continually strive for improvement. They complete regular audits of the provision and seek feedback from parents to help them to identify areas for development.
