Children arrive excited for their time at this welcoming club. They are greeted by enthusiastic and friendly staff, who work quickly to get to know children, especially those who are new to attending. Children interact well with each other and staff as they build new friendships. They quickly become engaged in activities, which staff ensure incorporate children's own interests to keep them well motivated. Staff consider the different age ranges of children well, adapting and arranging various play spaces to ensure they can meet children's individual needs. For instance, staff organise an early years room for the younger children, which encompasses a variety of activities. Older children have opportunities to complete construction challenges as well as opportunities to play physical team games. Staff are flexible and listen to children as they express their own ideas and interest in activities. This

n Although there is a relatively new staff team at this club, new staff are well supported by senior leaders and other long-standing staff. This supports new staff to understand their roles and responsibilities and quickly develop in self- confidence.

29 October 2024 n Leaders and staff help children to understand the importance of keeping themselves safe. They revisit what to do in an emergency, such as hearing the fire alarm. Staff remind children they can talk to them if they are worried about themselves or someone else, this supports children to get to know them as trusted adults. Furthermore, staff remind children that the club is nut free, and give children the knowledge to think about the ingredients in their lunch box. Staff check food during mealtimes and ensure children are well supervised. n Leaders and staff form positive partnerships with parents. They make sure key information is shared between parents and staff to ensure the individual needs of children are met. Overall, parents report their children are happy at the club and are eager to share their day and activities they have taken part in. Any concerns raised are acted on swiftly.
