an activity of their choosing. Staff show a firm understanding of how to support all children to understand and regulate their feelings and emotions. Staff share clear reminders of the rules of club with children, including when playing large physical games, such as dodgeball. Children work together with staff to set the rules for the game. Any disputes between children are very minor, and managed to help children learn how to be respectful of the views of others. For example, children discuss why they must not throw balls at other children's heads during the game. At other times, they negotiate turns on an electronic game to ensure that everyone has an equal chance to play. n Leaders and staff have forged very strong lines of communication between the club and school to ensure that staff have all the information they need to meet children's needs. These include close communication about children who need

any targeted support. Staff explain how they adapt activities and experiences to meet all children's individual needs, to help them to be safe, happy and secure at their club. Parents give the club high praise. They feel that their children are well cared for, and that their emotional needs are particularly well met. n Leaders and staff confidently explain how they support children in the early years age range when they attend the club. They describe a well-thought-out key-person system, to ensure that all these children have adults to speak to and engage with, who know their needs, their likes and dislikes. Staff are able to demonstrate the wide range of interesting activities to suit children's particular interests and how they link with class teachers at the school to complement what children are already doing.

27 September 2024 There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
