This provision meets requirements

Staff create a fun and inviting environment, which enables children to enjoy their time at the club and feel secure. Staff warmly greet children on arrival and children are keen to check the board to see which group they will be in. The activity provision focuses on providing a range of activities that enable children to have fun, develop confidence and learn new skills. During the morning welcome session, children are keen to recall what the club rules are, such as not sharing food and what to do if there is a fire. Children, therefore, take some ownership for their own safety and the safety of others.

This provision meets requirements

Staff provide a varied programme of activities that enable children to be creative, think critically and develop their physical skills. Children work together to make shared models from construction. They excitedly share their ideas and navigate where pieces can go to make a joint creation. Theme work is incorporated into the activity planning, where children celebrate successes and learn new information. Children share knowledge of different sporting activities as they make bookmarks for the current Olympics theme. Children talk about different countries and how many medals have been won. Children behave well. When minor disagreements occur, staff manage these sensitively and effectively.

The new managers are good role models for other staff, they are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A number of positive changes have been introduced and there is greater leadership oversight. Subsequently, the club is well organised, and staff understand their responsibilities. n Effective arrangements are in place for the safe recruitment of staff.

Indoors, children like to be creative and express themselves using various media. Children are very sociable with each other and staff. There is a buzz of friendly chatter as children play harmoniously together. n Staff support children to understand the routines and, therefore, children know what to expect. Positive behaviour is recognised with lots of praise which, in turn, helps other children to learn expectations. Staff quickly engage children when they require them to listen to what they need to do next. For example, staff call out 'one, two, three' and children immediately stop what they are doing and call back 'eyes on me'. Children then follow instructions such as helping with tidy-up time or washing their hands for a snack. n Children say they love attending the club and many say they have attended
