Inspection of PH ActiveEd – Horningsham Primary School Horningsham Cp School, Church Street, Horningsham, Warminster BA12 7LW

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Children are happy to attend this inviting and friendly breakfast club. They form close and trusting relationships with staff, who get to know them and their families well. This helps children to settle into the club. Children immediately engage with activities that are well set up by staff. Children play well together. Where they need additional support, staff are calm and patient in their approach. This helps children to play and explore their interests.

p.2

This provision meets requirements

Children behave well. Staff are positive role models, and they have high expectations of all children. They encourage children to show respect to each other. For example, staff remind children to listen to each other's thoughts and ideas when they are talking. Children are kind and caring. For example, the older children set up games for the younger children to take part in. Children are praised for their helpful behaviour. These positive reinforcements help to raise children's self- esteem.

n Staff plan a wide range of activities for children every week. These activities are based on children's feedback and their natural interests. Children lead their own play, choose resources and make their needs known. They are invited to contribute to planning activities and share their ideas. This helps children to feel valued. n Staff support children's speaking skills well. Children share their ideas and thoughts with confidence and happily talk about what they have done at home or with their friends. They listen to each other with interest. Staff engage in deep conversations with the children. They use these conversations to get to know about children's experiences and their home lives. This is evident as children talk about their experiences of places they have visited and what they did over the weekend. n Staff manage collections and drop offs to and from the club carefully to ensure children are safe and well cared for. Staff have built good relationships with the

need to do better?

29 January 2025 n Children behave well. Older children buddy up with the younger children to complete activities. Children of all ages play together, sharing the toys and resources. They listen attentively to staff's instructions and follow them well. Staff encourage children to use good manners and praise them. This helps children to understand the positive behaviour that is expected of them. n Children independently learn how to take turns while playing a 'spelling' game. They ask if anyone else wants to join in and agree on whose turn it is next. Staff support these social skills by consistently modelling positive interactions with each other and the children. n Staff complete mandatory training, such as safeguarding and first aid. They confidently explain the club's policies and procedures and how these are implemented to help them to keep children safe.
