Children are excited to attend the out-of-school club. They are collected each day from their classrooms and greeted warmly by the staff team, who know them well. Staff listen intently to children as they speak with excitement about their school day. Children are relaxed, confident and develop strong bonds with the staff, who respond quickly when children need them. This helps children to feel secure, valued and listened to.

This provision meets requirements

Children are eager to explore the activities on offer at the club. Staff organise the environment well and provide a range of stimulating experiences, tailored to meet the ages of each child. For example, children have opportunities to develop their imagination as they take orders and prepare play food, such as soup, for their friends. Staff have meaningful conversations with children as they play. They listen to each other's views and opinions. This helps children to develop their self-esteem and confidence.

Children's behaviour is very good. Staff have high expectations for children to develop a clear understanding of the rules and boundaries. They use positive reinforcement to support children's confidence. For example, different children are selected to choose a gift each day to reward their good behaviour. Children routinely use their good manners. Older children are especially kind and caring towards younger children. They support younger children to learn the routines and help them with tasks, when needed.

n The management team are passionate and want children to enjoy their time at the club. They seek the views of parents, staff and children and reflect on the club and experiences that they provide. For example, staff encourage children to share their interests and then plan activities around these for children to enjoy. Children tell visitors that they love coming to the club, playing games and spending time with their friends. n Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported extremely well. The club is fully inclusive, and staff work closely with parents and teachers to ensure continuity of care. For example, teachers walk SEND children to the club after school and share information about their day with staff. Staff have a good knowledge of tailored strategies to support children. This means that all children feel valued and fully enjoy their time at the club. n Children receive effective support to learn how to manage tasks for themselves

They work in close partnership to support all children who attend the club. For example, teachers share information about the children's day and any significant events that may have occurred. Staff create exciting activities for children and link to the host school's topics. The headteacher is highly complimentary about the club and values the service it offers. This helps provide children with a positive and consistent link between the school and club.
