This provision meets requirements

Staff are highly successful at creating a vibrant, exciting and safe club for children to attend. Staff understand that different children have different needs at the end of the school day and take this into account when planning resources and activities. For example, for children who need to be energetic there is plenty of outside play and opportunities to practise sports. For children who need to rest and relax there are quiet areas with comfortable seating, where they can chat with their friends or play quietly. This means that all children know they will find something to do that they enjoy, which ensures they feel welcome and included. Children show high levels of well-being.

This provision meets requirements

Staff place a high priority on keeping children safe. They ensure the areas of the host school they use are safe and secure and have robust arrangements in place to ensure children are suitably supervised at all times. Children feel safe. They explain that staff are 'quite strict' about 'safety stuff' and that they think this is a good thing. Through routines and repetition, staff teach children what is expected of them. Children learn to stop and listen to staff when staff clap in a certain pattern. They know to tell staff if they want to move from outside to inside so that staff can alert their colleagues. Children consistently behave well and are polite and courteous to staff and each other.

n Staff make sure all children can take part in activities suitable for their age. Staff ensure there is familiarity to resources for younger children, understanding how this can help them settle into a new environment. For example, younger children have access to role-play resources and books specific to their age group. They can also join in with older children too. n Staff join in with children's play in very effective ways. They play board games with children, reminding them of the rules and the need to take turns. They create crafts with children, listening to what children say and helping them put their ideas into practice. Children have ample opportunities to build further on skills they are learning at school, all while having lots of fun. n Staff encourage and enable children to complete tasks and gain the satisfaction of seeing an idea through to the end. For example, when children are part way

Other children swing back and forth on tyre swings. n Staff encourage children to play together and be inclusive and kind. Children of all ages enjoy making friendships across year groups. Children develop good social skills and are considerate towards the needs of each other. They enjoy working together as a team. For example, children help each other dig big holes in the sand, offering each other different tools and making suggestions about how to dig deeper and quicker. n Parents are full of praise for staff. They explain how staff go 'over and above' to help their children settle in, finding out about their interests and keeping a close eye on them while they adjust to their new environment. Staff ensure there is a thorough handover at the end of each session, so that parents know what their
