Active Extended Day

Inspection of Active Extended Day Sudbury Primary School, 77 Watford Road, Wembley HA0 3EY

p.1

This provision meets requirements

Coaches collect children at the end of the day from their classes, and they eagerly make their way to the hall where they quickly settle at an activity with peers. Staff know children well. They set out a range of activities based on children's interests as well as their ages and stages of development.

p.2

This provision meets requirements

Children show sustained interest and focus on their chosen activity. For instance, they use small bricks to make structures. Children's hard work is celebrated as they share the structures they have made at the end of the session. Children acknowledge their friends' successes, commenting, 'That is cool'. This helps to build their self-esteem and the confidence of others.

p.2

This provision meets requirements

Staff support children in becoming independent and making choices. Children vote on which games they would like to play as a group, or if they would prefer to go to the garden or have some quiet time inside. Children's voices are well represented within the setting.

p.2

This provision meets requirements

Children understand the rules and boundaries of the setting and respond well to these. Children display kindness to one another and work together, both at play and when it's time to tidy up. Staff promote positive behaviour. For instance, they can earn gems for going above and beyond in helping others. Children with the most gems can choose a new resource for the club.

n Staff are enthusiastic in their engagement with children. They sit at tables with children playing card games and building towers. Children laugh as staff nervously reach to remove a block and wait in anticipation to see if the tower will fall. They celebrate together as they survive another round and then groan collectively before laughing when the tower eventually topples over. n Children join forces to become active problem solvers, deciding they want to use blocks as dominoes. They stand the blocks up in an arch, and then eagerly watch as most of them fall down. Children discuss how they can make it work better, changing the arch shape and moving the blocks closely together. On the third attempt, all the blocks fall with a single push. Children jump up and down, shouting 'we did it' and high-fiving each other. n Staff provide a safe and inclusive environment for children. Children are respectful and tolerant of each other. They listen when others speak and share

their knowledge and skills with others. For instance, during a group game where children must run to different-coloured cones, the colours are labelled in Portuguese. This helps to celebrate and incorporate children's home languages.

25 September 2025 Children repeat the names of the colours, learning them confidently as they play. n Staff help children to develop healthy lifestyles. Good hygiene is encouraged through the promotion of regular hand washing, especially before eating and after using the bathroom. Children have a healthy light snack in the afternoon, choosing which fillings they would like in their wraps, alongside the fruits they would like to accompany their yoghurts. Physical activity is high at the club, due to its sports ethos. Staff talk to the children about the benefits healthy food and physical activity have on their bodies. n Partnership with parents is good. Parents comment that the coaches who lead the sessions are approachable and friendly. Parents feel well-informed about events within the setting and the different activities their children can participate in. n Children are happy and secure within the setting. They are confident in sharing

their views and opinions with staff, discussing animatedly which version of a card game they should play, so everyone understands the rules. Children comment that they enjoy coming to the club, they love everything about it, but especially getting to play football outside. n Staff are reflective. They regularly evaluate and seek feedback from children and parents to continue providing a service that meets the needs of all who use it. For example, there has recently been a demand for a breakfast club provision. As a result, the setting will begin to provide this additional service to support parents.
