This provision meets requirements

Staff greet children warmly at this welcoming after-school club. They encourage children to hang up their coats and put their belongings into designated areas, offering the younger children support when necessary. Staff plan a range of activities with children's needs and interests in mind. Children happily choose where they wish to play and are quickly settled and engaged. Staff know the children well and initiate personal conversations which engage and encourage them to settle in the club. These interactions support the children's emotional needs and help them feel confident, safe and secure.

n Staff encourage children's independence skills. For example, children put on and take off outdoor clothing. Children who struggle are confident to ask for help. Staff provide the correct levels of support to ensure children develop skills with buttons and zips. In addition, staff ask children to take a vote on whether they want to return to outdoor play or stay in the sports hall for free play, which develops children's understanding of democracy and helps promote British values. n Staff help children to be aware of their own safety. For example, when children line up ready to go back into the sports hall, staff explain to younger children why they must wait for everyone to be ready before they leave the playground. When children use the outdoor equipment, staff give them appropriate explanations about how they can keep themselves safe. Children respond positively to these routines and boundaries that help keep themselves and

However, at times, children wait for long periods to transition from the hall to the playground and for their turn to collect their tea. Staff do not always fully support children's concentration and engagement during these times and, as a result, some children lose focus and concentration. n Parents state that they are happy with the after-school club and that their children are always keen to attend. They comment that the staff are friendly and approachable, and that communication is strong. Parents add that staff get to know their children very well and offer well planned activities and resources to ensure all children are fully included and valued. n The manager and staff understand the importance of reflection and evaluation

to develop practice further. Together they regularly consider the strengths of the service offered as well as identifying any areas for development. Managers act quickly when they identify areas that need further development and provide the appropriate support, training, and coaching needed. Staff have access to professional opportunities that help them improve the club for all. Staff feel committed to their roles and valued as a result. n Staff at the after-school club communicate well with staff at the school, such as the children's teachers. For example, they share strategies to support individual children's behaviour or well-being. This ensures continuity of care for children and promotes a culture of safeguarding.
