This provision meets requirements

Staff warmly welcome children with smiles and friendly greetings as they arrive at the after-school club. Children play harmoniously in this happy, nurturing environment. Staff and managers are positive role models, treating children and each other with kindness and respect. Children form strong friendships and positive relationships with the team. For example, younger children excitedly enter the club and share, 'I need a big sleep because I've got a big day tomorrow. I have to walk a mile and go to a disco'. This demonstrates how safe and secure they feel.

Staff foster a positive environment that encourages good behaviour and kindness. They consistently set clear boundaries, such as reminding children to walk indoors and sit while eating.

The provider offers engaging sport, craft, and team-focused activities. These help children build confidence and form friendships. For example, children giggle as they play 'football cricket' together, taking turns and showing patience. Older children support younger ones by helping with the ball and explaining the rules. Such interactions help children understand how their behaviour affects others.

n Staff offer an exciting range of sports-focused activities that fully engage the children. The children are eager to attend the club and look forward to discovering the day's planned activities. They often talk about their favourite games, such as football and cricket, which are especially popular among many children. n Managers and staff are skilled at supporting children's interests. For example, they engage older children in running games and offer younger children more manageable ball games instead. Younger children smile and laugh, even when they miss the ball, showing high levels of engagement. This helps them feel safe and enjoy the activities on offer. n Staff make good use of their interactions to enhance children's enjoyment. They initiate conversations that encourage children to share their ideas. For example, children enjoy drawing chalk pictures of flowers and bees. Staff skilfully discuss

different types of bees and germination with them. This helps children connect their ideas to broader concepts. n Staff support children in having positive attitudes towards play. For example, they quietly encourage children to play a card game as they enter to help them settle. Children show very high levels of respect for others. Their behaviours and

15 May 2025 attitudes are good. Children show care for those younger than them as they take turns easily and help each other in a game of Hangman. Older children say sorry to one another for earlier, and they happily resolve any issues together. The calm atmosphere supports children to develop strong social skills. n Staff work hard to get to know each child and their families well. This helps them to meet individual needs and ensure that children feel valued. Relationships between staff and children are very positive. For example, younger children share kind and caring cuddles with staff when upset. Children are confident and have a strong sense of belonging. n Leaders and managers have well-thought-out processes to help them self-reflect on practice. For example, managers hold monthly meetings with supervisors to identify and address areas for improvement, which helps enhance the club over time. Additionally, they have regular day-to-day conversations with staff to

further support children. Managers also prioritise continuous professional development, offering in-person training twice a year on topics, such as supporting children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. n Parents and carers praise the positive relationships they have with staff. They feel well informed and describe the club as 'invaluable'. Parents speak fondly of the team and the stimulating environment that helps their children to thrive. Managers communicate with parents to share important information about their children and the activities they take part in. This helps to support the continuity of care for children.
