This provision meets requirements

Children enter this friendly and well-organised club happily and with enthusiasm. On arrival, they are welcomed by smiling and attentive staff who ask about their day. There are a wide range of activities on offer, which are interesting and stimulating for the varying ages of the children attending. Staff have considered carefully the resources provided, including those of particular interest to individual children. Children quickly become engaged in either the planned activities or by accessing resources of their own choice. Staff are excellent facilitators of children's exploration and play, allowing them to lead while being active and eager participants. Staff are responsive to children's ideas and knowledge, encouraging them to share this by listening carefully and asking questions to support children's thinking.

This provision meets requirements

Staff support children to be active, providing a range of games and activities. Children participate in adult-led sports sessions outdoors, where staff encourage them to challenge themselves by completing a range of physical tasks, such as throwing and catching. Staff know the children and their abilities well and adapt activities to make them challenging, but achievable for all. Staff have high expectations for children's behaviour and they act as excellent role models for children. During interactions, staff are polite and attentive, using both verbal and non-verbal communication methods to show children they are valued and listened to. This is reflected in how children respond to each other, with care and kindness.

n Staff support children to embrace challenge and develop the determination to keep trying. Using their knowledge of what individual children can already do, staff are able to offer suitable challenge. Using verbal directions and gentle encouragement, staff help children to persevere. For example, as children try to pump up a ball, staff give short, clear instructions along with a demonstration to help them achieve their goal. n Staff encourage children to feel pride in their interests and who they are. They allow children to lead their play and show high levels of interest in what children are doing. Staff skilfully use narration and questioning to extend children's learning. For example, during small-world play, staff narrate what children do, encouraging them to think carefully about their play and talk about what they already know. Children are also supported to share information about their own
