Children are happy to arrive at this friendly after-school club. They receive a warm welcome from staff who ensure they use children's names as they say hello. This helps children to develop a sense of connection and belonging. Children are excited to see which adult supported experience is on offer each day. They are eager to join in with a planned experiment, mixing baking soda and vinegar with food colouring. Children are particularly vocal about the smell of vinegar. Staff share scientific language and concepts with the children as they engage in mixing the ingredients.

n Staff get to know children well as they spend time playing alongside them. They observe the activities that children are interested and engaged in. They use this information to set up the experiences each day. For example, children enjoy construction, so staff provide modelling materials to help extend their design and technology skills. Children work together to construct a range of models. Staff ensure that these can be stored safely for children to add to the following day. n Children are clear about the expectations of them. Staff consistently and respectfully support children to make the right choices. As a result of this, children understand right from wrong.

12 February 2025 They know what happens when and respond positively as staff ask them to wash their hands and get ready for tea. Staff initiate a guessing game as children sit at the tables and wait for their food. However, on occasions, children wait a long time for their food to be ready. This leads to some children losing interest in the guessing game and becoming restless. n Staff are good role models for cooperative play. This helps younger children play well together. They become involved in joining all pieces of hexagonal construction materials together to create a tall structure. They work together to measure this structure against members of staff. Staff encourage children to estimate how many more pieces they need to make their model as tall as staff members. n Staff praise children's achievements. They notice and comment positively when children are highly engaged in play. For example, staff feedback to children who
