Safeguarding standards met

The safeguarding standards are met. This means that leaders and/or those responsible for governance and oversight fulfil their specific responsibilities and have established an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed. As a result, children are made safer and feel safe.

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders and staff have created a highly positive and respectful environment, where children feel safe and secure. Staff have extremely high expectations for children's behaviour, which is exemplary. Staff gently explain the reasons for rules, and model respect and care. Consequently, children behave respectfully and thoughtfully to staff and each other. For example, children offer to share resources when more children want to join their game. Key staff build secure relationships with children, promoting their confidence to talk about their needs and feelings. Collaborative play between children of different ages is superb. Older children are kind and respectful. They include their younger friends and siblings in their play, demonstrating understanding of their different abilities.

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children follow instructions impeccably when using the inflatable equipment. They wait for the previous child to get off before climbing on themselves. Children are confident to talk to visitors, telling them how much they enjoy coming to the club. Staff make highly effective use of routines, such as mealtimes, to encourage independence. Young children respond to this very well, such as helping themselves to salad and fruit. Leaders support attendance and follow up on absence with schools and families.

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children's welfare and wellbeing are of the highest priority for leaders and staff. Systems of high-quality care are well embedded. Staff know children and families incredibly well and are sensitive and responsive to their needs. Staff provide a safe and welcoming space that is inclusive for all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or other barriers to wellbeing. Children enjoy the fun environment and engaging interactions with staff. There are opportunities for a wide variety of play, including to play physically, either outdoors or on the inflatable equipment. Children relax, drawing and painting or reading a book with a member of staff. Staff fully promote children's emotional wellbeing as they spend time getting to know their likes and dislikes and talking to them about their feelings. Children with SEND or other barriers to wellbeing have 'passports'

detailing strategies to best support them, which are easily accessible to all staff.

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children are taught how to keep themselves safe in their play, by thinking about risks involved. For example, they consider what might happen if they wear socks on the inflatable equipment. Leaders promote healthy lifestyles, including exercise, and a nutritious diet with healthy meal options. There are secure procedures in place for known allergies and staff follow appropriate practice while children eat to keep them safe. Children develop good manners and social skills through mealtime routines.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Leaders are passionate about ensuring that all children have opportunities to engage in the same activities and to have the same fun. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or with other barriers to their wellbeing. Leaders work extremely closely with the school for which the club provides wraparound care, and engage with them very well where children need extra support. They work together to identify and assess additional needs and monitor the effectiveness of interventions closely.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Regular discussions with school staff create continuity of care, particularly for children with SEND. Bespoke training helps staff to fully support children with SEND. Leaders tailor training to the needs of children attending and those due to begin. Key staff know their children extremely well and adapt resources and levels of support accordingly. Children's individual 'passports' help staff support them with tailored strategies.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have an excellent understanding of their strengths and areas to improve. They work closely with schools to fully support all children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They continually strive for the best experiences and outcomes for children. Effective organisation and rotation of resources with other clubs means that children have opportunities to explore lots of different experiences. Leaders regularly evaluate the setting, reflecting on what they can do better. They have a secure understanding of the context of the club. They have a bespoke training scheme for staff that supports safeguarding and children's needs particularly well, to inform the highest level of care. Leaders have put secure systems, such as individual strategy 'passports', in place to ensure that children with SEND and other barriers to wellbeing are extremely well supported.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders regularly reflect on the quality of care and routines within the club. Regular meetings with staff ensure continual improvement in practice. Staff feel very well supported in their roles and report they have lots of professional development opportunities. Leaders care about their wellbeing and their workload is managed efficiently. Parents and carers are extremely happy with the care their children receive and say that it has a positive impact on their whole experience of school.

What it's like to be a child at this setting

Children enjoy their time in the fun, engaging and nurturing environment. Younger children excitedly follow staff who collect them from their classroom. Staff engage children along the way playing games, such as follow-my-leader and chatting about their day. Children are warmly welcomed and are independent, organising their personal belongings, for instance. They choose from a wide range of activities that have been planned with their interests in mind. For example, children explore the texture of sand and play with the toy zoo animals. There are opportunities for children to relax quietly with a book or to play collaboratively with their friends. Children play together on large inflatables and engage in physical games organised by staff.

Next steps

They should focus on creating a transformational impact on the outcomes and experiences of disadvantaged pupils/learners, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who are known (or previously known) to children's social care, and those who may face other barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing.
