This provision meets requirements

Staff collect children from their class at the end of the school day. They talk to children about their day as they walk through the school to get to the club. Children show that they feel safe and secure. They confidently enter the club and hang up their belongings on their pegs before settling down to either a snack or their chosen play activity. Children behave well and play cooperatively. Children of all ages interact well with each other. For example, older children happily help play the music for younger children to dance to.

This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy playing outside on the school playground, where they enjoy playing team games, racing around on scooters and learning to negotiate the climbing frame. Staff join in with children's games. This helps to extend their enjoyment. For example, staff organise a small game of tennis, where children are encouraged to take turns at batting the ball back to staff. Other children continue to develop their physical skills as they enjoy a game of target practice, kicking the football into the goals. Children are confident communicators. They happily engage in discussions with visitors, telling them what they like about their club.

They quickly intervene if children need help and support. They provide a calm and reassuring response that helps children to learn the rules of the setting.

Children respond well to these reminders. n Partnerships with parents are strong. Staff ensure parents are provided with daily information about their children's time at the club. Staff also ensure any messages from teachers within the school are passed on. Parents express how happy their children are at attending.
