This provision meets requirements

Children enjoy their time at the club. They form warm relationships with each other, their older peers and with staff. Children show that they understand what is expected of them. For example, they know where to put their bags on arrival and quickly settle into the club's routines. Staff use successful methods, such as rhythmic hand claps, to help gain the attention of children at key times throughout the session. Children quickly settle down and listen to instructions. Staff provide activities and routines that help children to take pride in what they can do. For example, children regularly share news with their friends and have opportunities to show off their skills.

n Leaders have developed methods to monitor and review the effectiveness of the club. For example, a matrix helps to identify possible gaps in staff's training or knowledge and shows where staff may need additional support. This has helped to improve the effectiveness of the club. Leaders have recognised and addressed the need to further develop outdoor play opportunities. n Leaders organise professional development opportunities for staff and implement staff induction procedures. This helps less-experienced staff understand how to carry out their roles and responsibilities more effectively. Staff are deployed appropriately indoors and outdoors, including during periods of unexpected staff absence. n Staff are positive role models and encourage children to behave well. Children willingly help to tidy toys away. They follow instructions and enjoy taking on tasks. Children help each other, follow the rules of games they play and listen to

and follow instructions. Children are confident to hold discussions about similarities and difference that they notice in others, including with unfamiliar adults. n Children have good opportunities to develop their communication and social skills. Staff encourage children to share news about their school day as they gather on the carpet. Children show their confidence as they speak within a larger group about an upcoming school trip that they are looking forward to. Children show what they have learned at school, for example, as they sing a

15 July 2025 song about the continents. n Staff promote children's good health effectively. They speak with children about healthy lunch boxes and prepare nutritious snacks for children. Staff are aware of children's care plans and know how to respond in medical emergencies. Staff show that they understand how to implement accident procedures. Children receive prompt attention and warm reassurance when they are hurt. n Children enjoy physical play and leaders have ordered additional outdoor resources. Children bounce and kick balls, run relay races with older friends and learn how to play by the rules. Children show their resilience as they quickly re- join activities after minor accidents. Very occasionally, the level of staff interaction with children begins to wane as they play outdoors. Nonetheless, children develop their physical skills well. n Parents value the friendly staff team and appreciate opportunities for their

children to participate in arts and crafts. They say that communication about children's menus and activities has improved. Although leaders seek feedback from parents about the service, information about children's backgrounds and languages is not currently gathered. This means that activities do not fully reflect the diverse group of children who attend.
