This provision meets requirements

Staff ensure children feel happy and safe in the club. Children mention that they are well cared for by the staff and enjoy seeing their friends at the end of the school day. They demonstrate an understanding of their own safety and that of others. For example, when playing a team game in the large hall, children follow the rules and keep at a distance from other toys and activities that children choose to play with. Staff provide clear and consistent messages that the children can understand and follow.

n Leaders and staff are kind and caring. They build good relationships with the children. For example, they check in with the new younger children to see if they are happy and settled. They also ask what the children would like to play with when they appear a little quiet. This contributes to the children's emotional well- being. Children have good opportunities to participate in physical play, such as passing a ball using various movements. They happily adhere to rules demonstrated well by the staff. n Staff involve the children in planning the week's activities. This results in children enjoying a wide variety of activities, many of which are self-chosen. Children have access to writing and drawing materials, including work they do in school. Young children are confident communicators and enjoy talking to staff and each other. This supports their communication, language and literacy skills well. n Staff obtain all of the required information from parents to enable them to

provide good care for each child. Staff also obtain and share important information with teachers about children's needs and achievements and this means everyone is well informed.

24 September 2024 n Staff help children learn how to keep themselves safe. For example, children are taught not to wander too far in the school playground and to move safely to avoid obstacles. Children are also instructed to use tools, such as scissors, safely. Staff give consideration to how activities can be adapted to ensure that all children's individual needs are met and included fully in all aspects of the club. n Children have good opportunities to be creative as they engage in various activities. Older children help the younger ones by assisting them in designing and colouring their pictures and praising their efforts. Younger children play with construction toys that are suitable for their age. This allows them to act out their own ideas and stories. n Leaders and staff consistently reflect on their practice and make changes as required. This system has enabled the team to incorporate the views of children
