The kind and caring staff collect children from school. They listen intently as the children tell them the stories of their day. Staff promote road safety awareness on the walk to the setting.

n Leadership have improved their supervision procedures, and staff feel supported in their work. They provide time on a regular basis for catch ups and well-being discussions. This is in addition to planned annual discussions. This helps to ensure that they meet staff training needs and support the continued growth and development of the setting. n Staff use evaluation well with the children to find out what they like to do. They use this information to plan a programme of activities and opportunities for the children. Staff share that they use evaluation with the parents too. However, they do not make sure that all parents are aware of this. n There are effective procedures in place for the collection of children from the schools. Younger children gather in the school hall and understand the procedures to follow while they wait for everyone to arrive. Staff complete headcounts and give children high visibility jackets to wear.

need to do better?

15 October 2024 n Generally, parents are very happy with the care their children receive. They comment that the children say that they 'love' coming to the club. They have no concerns about safety at the setting and feel their children are having a good time. However, staff do not always communicate effectively with parents about how their child is getting on or ensure that they know how to share their views. n Staff provide an environment that is attractive and inviting. Children demonstrate engagement and persevere in their play. For example, some children spend a long time creating a 'vending machine' with pieces of cardboard. They expertly write the numbers and letters for their creation. Children select which 'chocolate bar' they would like from the machine. They proudly show this off to their parents at collection time. n Children understand the rules and boundaries. They know that when staff put

their hands in the air, it means to stop what they are doing and listen. They are confident and keen to show off their knowledge of the routines and expectations. For example, when staff ask a question about the procedures for using the toilets, children confidently talk about the card system they must use. Staff ensure that children understand that this is so that they can account for everyone in the event of a fire.
