Inspection of Superkids Club Ltd John Ball Primary School, Southvale Road, LONDON SE3 0TP

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy their time at this well-attended, inclusive and popular after-school club. The older age groups interact well together and relationships are respectful and warm. The staff make good use of the many spaces available to them. They provide a good range of enjoyable activities that take children's emotional and physical well-being into consideration. These include quiet activities, such as reading and crafts, alongside opportunities for physical play in the sports hall, playgrounds and astro turf pitches. Children make friends across different class and year groups. Children in the early years have their own space, separated from the older children. They are fully engaged in an interesting range of activities, which are based on the early years foundation stage curriculum.

n Children are supported well to follow the club's routines and expected behaviours. Children respond well when staff gently remind them of the rules. Children enjoy chatting together as they carefully use a construction kit to make models. They are happy to talk to visitors about their experiences, saying 'We like building things here.' n Children, staff and parents are provided with opportunities to share their views of the club and make suggestions for improvement. For example, parents asked for children to have a quiet space in which to complete homework tasks. Following liaison with the school, the children can now regularly use the school library for quiet activities. n Staff feel well supported by the leadership and management team. The recruitment process is robust and all staff are thoroughly vetted for suitability. The induction process for new staff is thorough. Staff are aware of how to keep

27 September 2024 play separately to support the children's welfare. Parents are full of praise and say that their children really enjoy the activities led by the sports coaches. n Older children's independence is promoted well. For example, they are given responsibility to move from space to space within the school without an adult. Staff carefully protect their safety by communicating with each other on walkie- talkies between rooms. n All children appear to feel secure at the club. Staff know the children well and treat them as individuals. Parents told the inspector that, in the early years club, children have settled into the routine quickly, despite it being the beginning of term. This reflects the warm and kind approach of the staff. n The youngest children demonstrate positive attitudes to their play and follow instruction well. They concentrate hard as they practise their cutting skills while

making superhero masks. They learn about good oral hygiene while brushing sets of play teeth. Children are becoming confident communicators. For example, they told the inspector about the tooth fairy while playing at being dentists. n All children are able to make choices in their play and those that prefer quiet activities are well catered for. Older children at the arts and craft table in the main hall explain that they are making gifts for their family members, threading beads to create bracelets. They carefully choose the colours and patterns and talk about their favourites.
