This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club ready to play and relax. They are eager to enter the well-prepared room, where new and familiar activities await them. Children gather for registration and to participate in 'show and tell' time. They share interesting facts, such as why there are different-coloured Remembrance Day poppies. They relate exciting news, such as being made player of the match after a football game. The activity promotes children's confidence and self-esteem. They learn to value each other's knowledge and points of view.

This provision meets requirements

Staff have established consistent routines that children know and follow. Children, therefore, understand the expectations for their conduct and this helps them to feel secure. Children follow rules such as telling a member of staff that they need to go to the toilet. This helps staff to keep children safe.

This provision meets requirements

Staff develop positive partnerships with parents and carers. They have introduced a toy library, so that children can play favourite games at home. Parents praise the care and dedication of staff. They like the accurate information that they receive about children's well-being and what they have done during the session. Parents say that staff complete and share written records, such as reports of accidents and injuries to children. This promotes children's welfare.

n The provider is ambitious for children's welfare and enjoyment. They work with staff to make the club a well-organised and welcoming place. Staff evaluate and review their practice. A recent change to the routine has reduced waiting time for the children who arrive at club first. They now settle to a companionable snack time, supported by staff, until everyone has arrived. n Staff encourage children to be caring and helpful. The 'star of the week' award recognises and celebrates children's positive contribution to the group. It is awarded for behaviour such as older children supporting younger ones. The club is helping to promote a school initiative to collect food for a local food bank. Children, therefore, learn about giving practical support to people who do not have enough money to buy food. n The wide-ranging activities complement children's learning. One game requires children to take a card with a number on it. They press the button on an

electronic toy for the corresponding number of times. This gives children practice in accurately counting a specified quantity. The game ends when the toy makes a rude-sounding noise. Children giggle happily and start again. n Children have time and encouragement to design and make things. They use sticky tape and scissors with increasing skill. This promotes their small-muscle

4 November 2024 development. Children use their models in rich, imaginative play. Rockets made out of cardboard tubes take astronauts into space. The play helps children to demonstrate and build on what they know about the world. n Children play cooperatively and actively. Older children work together to devise complex storylines for role play. Staff regularly ask children about what they like doing at the club. They invite and welcome children's ideas for other activities to try. This involves planning and negotiation that sparks children's creativity and makes them feel involved. n Children of all ages join in with a popular game of 'squares' in the school hall. This requires children to learn and follow a set of rules as they run, pause and wait to see whether they are in or out of the next round. The fast-paced play promotes children's stamina and their ability to change speed and direction as they run about and dodge each other.

n Staff help children to make healthy choices about food and drink. Children enjoy a light tea that includes fresh salad vegetables. They learn about the importance of eating a balanced diet across the day. Children take regular drinks of water and know that this promotes their good health. n Partnership between the club and the school is strong. They work together to ensure that their separate policies and procedures are consistent. One impact of this is that everyone follows safe procedures for transferring children between the club and their classrooms. The club is vigilant in updating the attendance register as children arrive and leave. This helps to protect children from harm.
