This provision meets requirements

Children are happy and excited to attend the club. They are courteous. Children help staff hold the door open for their friends to walk through. They behave well and receive reminders from staff when needed, for example, to walk inside. Children listen well as they receive clear descriptions from staff about the activities that are available. This helps children to choose what to participate in.

This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy themselves as they laugh frequently and relish their time with friends. They cheer one another as they wait their turn to throw foam rockets into target areas. Staff help build children's confidence and resilience as they encourage them to keep trying, even if they miss. They offer helpful tips to help children achieve, such as to look in the direction they want to throw. Children listen, persist and shout 'yes' as their rocket lands between cones. Children learn to keep themselves safe when using physical equipment. Staff talk to children about the importance of landing correctly. Staff tell children that if they do not bend their knees and keep their feet together, this can put pressure on their knees and feet and cause injuries. Children listen to the instructions given by staff. Consequently, all children learn to land safely as they jump off equipment.

n Staff encourage children to move their bodies and be active after the school day. Children listen as staff break down the required movements to complete a forward roll. Staff demonstrate as they get down on the safety mats and model their instructions. Children watch and listen intently before combining the movements, while staff guide them step by step. Children jump up and down with excitement as they complete their first forward roll. n Children enjoy a wide range of physical activities, which support their coordination skills. Staff engage well with children as they provide step-by-step instructions, which help children to balance along narrow beams. Children confidently place one foot in front of the other, making sure the weight is in their front foot before they move their back foot forward. Staff encourage children to put their arms out for balance. Children coordinate their movements and cross

narrow beams successfully. n Staff celebrate children's achievements. They identify children who behave well and show they understand the core values of the club. For example, children celebrate working as a team and kindness to friends. Staff provide children with award certificates and display these for their families to see. Children show they understand the awards and point out their friends' certificates to their parents. n Staff provide books and areas which enable children to chill and sit quietly. They plan time into the routine for all children to use the library area in the school.

28 January 2025 Staff encourage children to read independently or sit with friends and share a book. Alternatively, children can sit with staff and have a story read to them. Staff use different intonations as they read, to maintain children's attention. Children sit calmly and engage with stories as they share their ideas as to what might happen next. n Staff are reflective. They hold daily meetings to determine if the activities they provide are fun and engaging for children. This helps them to adapt their activities, particularly for younger children and children with additional needs. For example, they simplify word puzzles for younger children. This enables all children to participate in the activities. n Parents say the staff are approachable and friendly. They feel informed about what their children do at the club. Parents state the children talk about the club and the different activities they enjoy. Parents feel the activities are varied across

They work closely with the host school to ensure all children receive the support they require. For example, teachers comment on how club staff contribute to identifying strategies to support children's behaviour. This has created a consistent approach between the school, the club and families, when supporting children to understand unwanted behaviours.
