Children enjoy a warm and friendly start to their time at the club. Staff, who know the children generally well, collect them from their classrooms. They walk children safely through the playground to the club cottage. Staff complete the register to make sure everyone is safe and accounted for. Children are confident to follow familiar routines. They hang up their coats and put away their bags, ready to begin their play. Staff set up a range of play activities around children's interests. Children make independent choices about their play. They play cooperatively alongside their older peers. Children display their creativity as they colour pictures of sea creatures. They use their imagination when playing with vehicles on the carpet, pretending to fill lorries with wood. Staff support children to develop good-hygiene practices. They remind children to wash their hands before choosing their snack. This helps children to be independent and to learn the importance of self-care

n Effective partnerships are in place with the host school. Some staff provide physical education lessons during the school day, giving them opportunities to get to know the children and school staff. Although the term has just started and Reception children are settling in well, staff are still getting to know the children who attend the club. While they collect children from their classrooms, staff do not always gather enough information from school staff about each child's day at school to fully meet their needs and well-being at the club. n Partnerships with parents are good. At collection time, staff take children to the gate and share information with parents about their time at the club. They talk about what children have played with and what they have eaten at snack. Parent feedback is positive. They value the club because it supports their work commitments and provides a safe, enjoyable place for their children. Parents

Staff remind children of the club's values, such as respecting the environment, equipment and each other. However, on occasions, noise levels become high and children continue to talk or play when staff try to get their attention. Leaders and staff recognise this as a challenging part of the day as children are inside after school and full of energy. They are considering creating calm, quiet spaces to help children manage their behaviour and give the youngest children opportunities to rest if needed. n Staff provide a range of inclusive play opportunities for children. They observe children to understand their abilities and use this information to plan future activities. For example, when staff notice that younger children struggle to use

scissors for a collage, they provide pre-cut materials. This allows younger children to take part fully alongside their peers and enjoy the activity. n Leaders provide staff with opportunities for professional development. In addition to mandatory training, such as paediatric first aid and safeguarding, staff complete further qualifications in play work. This training helps staff improve their knowledge of how to support children's play. It also helps them keep the environment fresh, engaging and exciting for children.
