This provision meets requirements

Children form close attachments with staff in this fun club. For instance, younger children are supported by staff to help them learn new skills, such as cricket. Staff value children's play choices. For instance, they ensure that 3D structures that children started to make in breakfast club are available for children to continue after school. Children demonstrate they feel safe and secure as they laugh with staff while they are engrossed in their play choice.

This provision meets requirements

Staff provide a well-resourced environment, indoors and outdoors, with a strong consideration of children's interests. For example, staff provide board games that children have expressed an interest in and/or enjoyed using before, as this is how they use interests to decide on resources. Children settle quickly and play various board games with their friends. Staff support children in take turns with their friends as they play alongside them. Children are relaxed as they talk with staff about their school day and colour in their favourite superhero pictures. Staff listen well to the children and have meaningful conversations. This helps children feel valued.

n Staff ensure they plan a variety of activities for children to choose from. For example, children take part in planned craft activities. Staff help children as they practise using tools, such as scissors, to cut paper plates to create their choice of dinosaur. This contributes towards children's fine manipulative skills while exploring their own creative ideas. Furthermore, children relish the opportunity to practise their large motor skills as they take part in various sporting games. This helps children learn how to move their bodies in a variety of ways. n Children show their imagination when they pretend to create villages for their toys to live in. Staff ensure that children have ample resources outside to support their ideas. For example, children work together using cones and balls to represent a village. Staff give children plenty of time to follow their own ideas. This helps children enjoy an active lifestyle in their play.

5 June 2025 children are not sure what they should be doing. As such, this impacts on children's behaviour. For instance, children's become restless as they wait for longer periods, without clear instructions from staff. This means some children do not wash their hands before mealtimes, as staff do not set clear expectations for them. n Overall, staff support children to develop their behaviour and social skills. They successfully help children to understand the rules of the club to help keep themselves and others safe. Staff ensure that children who need to rest after school have time to read in a quiet space. This helps children to have a calm space supporting their well-being. n Leaders are reflective on the practice within the club. Leaders have systems in place to monitor staff practice. They ensure that they have regular staff meetings and provide staff with training to support the delivery of the play

For example, staff say that the themes of the club support them to deliver fun and interesting play ideas with the children. n Staff gather information from the children's teachers at the end of their school day.
