This provision meets requirements

Children are very happy to attend the after-school club and they feel at home among staff. This is evident as they arrive talking excitedly about their experiences that day and confidently put their bags and things away as if they arrived at home. Children have close relationships with staff. This is demonstrated through their conversations about things they have done together in the past, events in school life and outside school with their families. Children are confident to start and join in with conversation both among themselves and with staff.

n There is a nurturing and homely feel to the club. Some of the staff also work in the school. This makes them very familiar to the children. Staff encourage the older children to support the younger children, which they enjoy.

They design a weekly timetable, which ensures that suitable outdoor activities are planned for each day. This way, children all engage in physical activities that help develop their coordination and social skills. During these activities, staff encourage the children to take the lead. This promotes the children's teamwork and leadership skills. n Staff know the children who attend extremely well.

For instance, they ask about their day and what they would like to do. Conversation flows at a nice pace, allowing the children time to think and formulate their responses.

For example, when playing a triangular football goal game, they ask children if it counts when the ball bounces off the other person's foot and scores in another goal. This develops children's social skills and their sense of fairness and teaches children to manage their behaviour in social situations. n Parents are very happy with the club, and they confidently leave the children there. They comment on the friendly and familiar staff. Parents receive daily feedback from staff when they collect their children and benefit from good communication. n Leaders provide regular supervision and training for staff. They also provide daily opportunities for staff from different settings to exchange ideas with each other for activities and improvements. This helps staff to feel supported and listened to

and they feel that they can go to management with questions and raise concerns. n There are good levels of communication between the school and the club. For example, they share information daily. Staff at the club work closely with specialist staff in the school to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities around strategies or appropriate support that children might need. This helps to make sure that those children can access the club and provides continuity in their care.
