This provision meets requirements

Children arrive at the club and show that they are familiar with the routines in place. They take responsibility for their own belongings and eagerly choose activities to play with. Children greet their friends and staff. They display positive and respectful relationships with the adults who look after them. Children smile widely and are very happy to see the club staff.

This provision meets requirements

Children excitedly speak about their favourite activities, such as construction toys and craft activities. Older and younger children play companionably together in groups. They negotiate what they build with the construction toys and build relationships with children of different ages. Children can ask for specific activities, which develops their confidence in following their own ideas for learning. The club uses children's interests to plan a wide range of activities and uses different areas of the school to ensure children's play is safe.

This provision meets requirements

There are opportunities for children to develop their coordination as they take part in dance classes and work together in teams as they take part in drama activities. For example, children pretend to be reporters from news programmes and hold the microphone as they read their report. They decide between themselves who will pretend to be different characters and make sure everyone has a part to play.

n Staff carefully plan a timetable of activities to meet the needs of all children throughout the day. For example, children have free choice play when they first arrive and then warm up exercises to prepare them for more physical play. Staff create areas for children to be imaginative, such as selecting resources to create their own collage pictures. n Staff interact with children throughout the session to promote their communication, language and thinking skills very well. Children relish the opportunity to talk about fireworks exploding in the sky as they create pictures. Staff introduce new words to extend children's vocabulary. They listen to children's views and give them time to share their own thoughts. For example, children talk about the climbing equipment outside and how they can balance on tyres with one foot. n Staff ensure that routines are consistently adhered to so that they are well known to the children. They explain to the children what is happening next so

that children are prepared for changes as they happen. This helps to provide a sense of safety and security for the children. Children move around the building to different activities, such as outdoor play with balls and hoops and dance sessions inside.

Around and Holiday Club 15 April 2025 n Staff have high expectations of children's behaviour. They use a range of strategies to support children to manage their own behaviour. They sensitively help children to resolve any issues. For example, staff take children on a reflective walk to talk through disagreements, resolve their issues and shake hands. Children play well with each other and benefit from playing in mixed-age groups. They learn social skills and how to be kind to their younger peers. Staff praise the care shown by the older children towards the younger ones. Younger children benefit from the help older children offer to complete craft activities and learn to share resources as they take turns to use glue sticks. n Staff regularly and effectively communicate well with parents. They gather information from parents about their children before children attend the club. For example, they find out about likes and dislikes and any additional needs to

They look excited about the day ahead of them and say they look forward to playing with their friends. n Staff are well-qualified and attend regular supervision and staff meetings. They use these opportunities to share ideas for improvements and to identify training that directly benefits the children. Recently, staff have considered the individual learning needs of different children and how they can support children to access all activities.
