Inspection of Shine @ Flax Bourton Primary Flax Bourton Primary School, Station Road, Flax Bourton, Bristol, Somerset BS48 1UA

This provision meets requirements

Children have good relationships with all the staff. Staff show genuine interest in children and take time to listen to children and gain their views, and they then incorporate these in their plans for their 'Shine' sessions. They chat with children about their day at school as they happily arrive in the school hall for their session. Children enjoy staff's company in activities. They have lots of fun as they play games outside, such as hide and seek tag on the school field and playground. They show confidence to speak with staff about things they want or need. Staff are attentive to children's well-being. They promptly meet children's care needs and offer timely assistance and reassurance if children have a tumble on the playground.

This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy their time at 'Shine', spending time with their friends and playing outside in the extensive grounds. They try out their skills on the playground equipment and copy older children's movements, trying to do cartwheels on the grass. Children show respect for others and listen to staff's reminders and explanations on safe practices, adapting their behaviour appropriately. Older children are thoughtful to the younger ones and help them when needed. Any occasional instances of minor disagreements are sorted by staff quickly and sensitively. Children play cooperatively together; they construct towers with blocks and enjoy creating with construction bricks.

n Staff follow suitable procedures to help ensure children's safety. They secure the outside areas, locking gates so that children can explore independently, and ensuring that children understand the boundaries and areas they can access. Staff work as an effective team, to ensure children are supported suitably as they play outside in the school grounds. Staff communicate well, using walkie- talkies effectively to ensure they can monitor children across the different areas. They also liaise with each other effectively to aid the smooth running of the sessions, such as efficient home time arrangements. n Staff work in close partnership with teachers at the school. They are mindful to speak with Reception class teachers at pick up in the afternoon. They liaise about children's needs and use this information to support children while at the sessions. They also make sure they pass on any necessary information to

parents when they collect their children. Staff use the company's electronic systems to share information with parents. They produce newsletters, and staff feedback to parents when they come to pick children up. They promote a beneficially consistent approach to the support children receive. n At times, staff suitably involve children in the session's routines. Children know

They excitedly join in a speedy registration time when, as a group, they see how quickly they can answer to their names. They listen well, lining up when it is time to move on to the next session or time to go home. However, staff do not always support children to develop their sense of responsibility fully. Snack time shortly after children's arrival is busy, many children move about with their food and sometimes start to play or join games while still eating. Staff are mindful of children's safety and encourage them to find a place to sit down to eat but their routines do not help children to manage this independently. n Staff development is focused on close and regular support and supervision meetings are undertaken with them. Staff undertake mandatory and additional training. There are useful opportunities for them to develop their skills and

More recently, these have been enhanced to offer a more targeted approach, encouraging information sharing between staff working in similar roles across the company, to help develop staff knowledge and practice further.
