This provision meets requirements

Children arrive happily at the club from school. They interact positively with the friendly staff and know the established daily routines, helping them feel secure in the setting. Children benefit from the calm, reassuring approach that staff provide, and overall, they play cooperatively. Staff have formed clear expectations with children, such as to respect each other, stay safe and be kind to others. They aim to provide a safe space for children and help them develop a sense of belonging and enjoy their time at the club.

This provision meets requirements

Children use their imaginations well in their play. They spend time finding different construction pieces to make their models. For example, they fit specially shaped bricks together to make small-world mermaid figures. They find oblong-shaped pieces to make small beds and tell a visitor that 'the mermaids sleep under the sea'. Children like colouring and drawing. They chat easily together as they colour in animal pictures, such as a badger, hedgehog or owl. They spend time defining the fur, spikes and feathers of these animals with their colouring pens and show pride in their achievements. Children follow appropriate hygiene routines to help prevent the spread of infection. They know to go and wash their hands before eating snack.

n The provider has procedures in place to support staff's practice and includes staff in discussions about the club and how they can make improvements. For example, they have shared ideas about how to implement changes to behaviour management strategies to help meet children's needs. The provider and staff are now establishing these strategies to provide a more consistent approach. The provider is also supporting staff to recognise the consequences of children's unwanted behaviour and to help children manage their feelings more effectively. n The provider follows appropriate staff recruitment procedures to help assess their suitability. This includes not leaving new staff unsupervised until all suitability checks are completed. The provider monitors staff practice, such as through supervision meetings and ensures that they all complete training for safeguarding and first aid. n Older children show kindness as they help their younger friends to put on aprons

for a painting activity. Children play well together overall. However, occasionally, such as when noise levels rise, the younger children are less confident in their play. Staff have not fully considered the organisation of the hall to enable younger children to have their own space to go to when needed. n Staff are kind and caring. They encourage discussion with children, such as when talking about the pictures they draw and paint. Children are keen to tell

9 October 2024 staff their ideas and talk happily with their friends in their games. n Children enjoy playing outdoors and using up their energy while having fun. They like to play football together or walk carefully across the balancing planks and logs. They stretch and reach up as they climb across the low climbing wall and excitedly go down the slide afterwards. Children talk enthusiastically about the cooking activities they join in with. For example, they enjoyed making pizzas using flatbread. They like making 'tuckers' and fill them with chicken, lettuce and cheese. They tell a visitor that they had fun making 'spider rice crispy cakes'. Children enjoy healthy snacks of fruit, such as grapes, apples and oranges. n Staff liaise well with parents about the activities provided for their children at the club. They set up clear systems of communication with parents to support children's specific health needs. Staff seek parents' views on the club provision

and look at ways to develop this from their feedback. For example, parents spoke positively about the cooking activities their children enjoyed, and staff are continuing to include these in their planning. n Children develop their creative skills and concentrate well in a painting activity. They know if they mix blue and yellow together, it will make green. Children show delight when mixing paint and say, 'We have made golden brown and golden green colours.' n Staff carry out risk assessments and check the play areas before children use them to help keep them safe. They ensure that the outdoor play area is secured. Staff record children's arrival and departure times and also attendance of any visitors. They monitor the entrance door to ensure that no one can gain access to the club unsupervised.
