Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. Staff greet them by name as they arrive which helps children to develop a sense of belonging. Children are excited and demonstrate an eagerness to enter the club. Staff encourage them to put their belongings away and ask them about their school day. They develop strong bonds with children, and children feel confident enough to discuss matters which are important to them, such as friendships, school and family.

n Leadership is strong at the club. Staff say that they are supported with their training needs and are given opportunities for further development. Well-being is high and staff demonstrate a passion for working with children. Parents offer very positive feedback about their children's enjoyment of activities and the two- way communication that they have with the staff. They mention that they feel reassured that children's safety is a priority. n Children enjoy plenty of opportunities to be active in their play. For example, children who prefer to play outside have access to a play area where they can run around in the fresh air, and join their friends and staff in circle games. Children are given healthy snacks and staff use this time to discuss the benefits of healthy eating. They develop strong self-care routines. They know they must wash their hands before eating and after going to the toilet. n Staff provide a very inclusive club for children. This is especially important for

23 April 2025 provide routines which helps children to understand what is happening next. This is important for those children who need support when moving from one activity to another and effectively supports their emotional health. However, the organisation of some routines, such as evening snack means that some children have to wait for long periods of time. Consequently, some children become restless and disengaged. n Children are regularly involved in discussions about ideas for new activities. Staff place high value on what children would like to do and their current interests. For example, they are aware that some older children need a slightly different programme to younger children. This helps support children's growing independence and is in accordance with their age and stage of development. Older children talk positively about the space that has been provided for them. They appreciate the opportunity to be more responsible. They chat about the
