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.

p.1

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Children behave well within the club. They are kind to each other and understand the importance of sharing toys and activities. Staff remind children daily of their expectations, which children demonstrate they understand. For example, children talk about respect for their friends, staff and the building.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Relationships between staff and children are warm and trusting. Staff know children well. They typically use calm and supportive approaches, when children need help to manage their emotions, although this support is not yet consistent from all staff. Children are kind and welcoming to one another and play cooperatively across a wide age range. They receive encouragement to take turns, share resources and include others in their play. This helps children to develop positive social skills.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

The club promotes punctuality and attendance. Leaders have procedures in place for monitoring children's attendance and recognise the importance of addressing any emerging gaps promptly. Staff use daily communication with parents and carers to ensure that children settle well. This collaborative approach helps to ensure that every child benefits from continuous support at the club.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Children's welfare and wellbeing are supported well across the club. Staff supervise children closely. They ensure that health and safety routines are followed throughout the session. There are clear procedures in place to manage children's dietary, medical and allergy needs. Staff build warm, trusting relationships with children. They plan and provide meaningful opportunities for children to express themselves, develop friendships and strengthen their social skills, which supports children's emotional wellbeing.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Staff promote healthy lifestyles with children. Children join in with dancing and moving in a variety of different ways. These opportunities help to strengthen their core strength. Furthermore, staff promote children's safety effectively. They support children to develop an understanding of how to stay safe online through appropriate discussions. This helps children to develop an understanding of how to keep themselves safe.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Staff support children to make choices in their play and in selecting what they would like for snack from their lunch boxes, helping to promote their decision-making skills. However, during some parts of the routine, staff are not consistently positive role models in supporting healthy eating.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

The youngest children have a designated key person, who develops positive relationships with children and their parents and carers. This help to support children's individual needs. However, the systems to monitor the effectiveness of the key-person arrangements and staff's practice are not yet rigorous enough to make a sustained difference to children's opportunities and experiences.

p.2

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders and staff make sure that all children can take part in activities. They adapt the environment and resources so that children who need extra support can join in with their friends. For example, some children spend time enjoying a wide range of art and crafts while other children relax in the quiet space. This helps children to feel included and develop confidence in their abilities.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Staff have implemented rules and routines that support children to know what is expected of them. The club follows the same behaviour management approach every day, to ensure consistency for children. Children demonstrate excellent behaviour. They immediately follow instructions given by staff in a calm and efficient way. It is clear routines are embedded and well understood by children, who follow the rules at all times.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders gather information from parents and carers and schools so that they have a secure understanding of children's individual needs and to make sure these are met. This ensures that support for children with medical needs or with special educational needs and/or disabilities is coordinated, consistent and responsive to each children's needs. However, leaders do not consistently review and monitor adaptations as necessary. For example, staff have emotional cards on a lanyards but these are not consistently used by all staff.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders and staff have access to training to further extend their knowledge to best support children at the club. They ensure decisions about additional funding, including for disadvantaged children, are focused on what individual children need.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders demonstrate an understanding of the club's context. They understand the club's strengths and take action on areas that need further development. For example, leaders use children's, staff's and parents' and carers' views to adapt activities for the different age groups of children. This ensures that activities remain accessible and suitable for all children.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Staff are happy and state that they feel well supported by leaders. Leaders provide them with a full induction and staff access mandatory training online. However, leaders have not yet instilled a culture of continuous improvement in which staff are consistently offered feedback as part of improving ongoing practice. As a result, staff are not always clear about the most precise actions needed to further improve their practice across the club.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders know children and families well. Partnership with parents is effective. Parents comment that they feel well informed about events within the club and the different activities their children can participate in. They say that their children love attending the club, often asking to return for holiday sessions or additional activities.

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

Staff at this club create an engaging environment that encourages children to play and explore. Leaders and staff organise a fun programme of activities that supports the different abilities and interests of all children who attend. For example, staff split children into 2 groups. During the first session, younger children enjoy craft sessions inside and enjoy the new toys available, while older children look forward to trying out various sports with enthusiastic sports coaches.

About this setting

Unique reference number (URN): 2682160 Children are confident members of the club. They move around the club, choosing activities to support their interests. For example, children engage in shared games to develop their turn-taking skills. They share their ideas and views about the club's activities. This supports children to foster a sense of belonging and enjoyment at the club. Staff provide small prizes to recognise children's efforts to try new things. This boosts children's self-esteem.

p.5

About this setting

Staff use golden rules to support children's behaviour and wellbeing. Children choose their own snacks, pour their drinks, tidy away resources and manage personal belongings. This helps to build their confidence and responsibility. Staff talk with children about healthy eating and exercise, supporting their understanding of how to look after their bodies and stay healthy. They also use snack time to provide opportunities for conversation and social interaction in a relaxed and supportive environment.
