This provision meets requirements

Children are happy and enjoy their time at the after-school club. They are greeted warmly by adults as they are collected from the on-site school. Children are active and engaged throughout the sessions. They learn to make decisions about the toys and games they choose to play with. Staff help children to share, take turns and play fairly together. For example, they play a wide variety of board games. Staff teach children the rules to new games that they play. There are lots of warm and humorous exchanges between staff and children as they play. Children thrive on the competition as they challenge staff to games. Children cheer each other on and suggest ways to improve their strategy.

n Staff benefit from regular meetings and supervision. They say that they value the weekly 'huddle' meetings online with other settings in the company. These provide opportunities to discuss any issues and share good practice. Leaders are supportive of staff's well-being and ongoing professional development. Staff complete regular training to keep their knowledge up to date and to extend their skills. n Leaders intend for children to have a place where they have fun, feel welcomed and have a sense of belonging. Leaders and staff are committed to reviewing the provision to help enhance the opportunities that children receive. They gather feedback from parents and children to help them reflect. Recent comments from children about introducing a cosy area have been implemented; they now have extra space where they can be calm and relaxed after their day at school. n There is an effective key-person system in place for early years children.
