This provision meets requirements

Children report that they enjoy the time they spend at the club. Staff create a welcoming environment and ensure that the individual needs of all children are met. Children have lots of fun as they engage in play with their friends. For instance, they play games like 'drip, drip, drop' and chase their friends around a circle after water is dripped on their heads. Children squeal with excitement during this game and remain focused for prolonged periods.

This provision meets requirements

Children behave well and demonstrate high levels of respect for others. Older children are kind and considerate towards younger ones, ensuring they are included in play. For example, they actively involve them in group games and activities. Children also show respect for club staff. For instance, when staff say, 'Koosa' children understand that this means they must stop what they are doing. This clear signal helps maintain safety, especially in emergencies, such as when a quick exit from the building may be needed.

Junior School, Fleet 26 June 2025 staff do not consistently reinforce this rule. n Leaders are committed to providing good-quality, inclusive care for all children. They collaborate closely with staff at the schools the children attend. This enables them to share valuable information about each child's individual care needs so that these can be met from the outset. n Overall, partnerships with parents are good. Parents report that their children enjoy attending the club and comment that staff communicate effectively with them. For example, they tell them about their children's day, the activities they have enjoyed, and staffing arrangements. However, some parents report that they would appreciate more correspondence from head office about significant events, such as staffing changes. n Staff report that they enjoy working at the club and feel well supported by the leadership team. Robust recruitment procedures ensure that all adults working

Regular observations of staff practice enable leaders to identify strengths and areas for development in interactions with children.
