p.1

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.

How we evaluate safeguarding

When we inspect settings for safeguarding, they can have the following outcomes:

p.1

How we evaluate safeguarding

Met: The setting has an open and positive culture of safeguarding. Not met: The setting has not created an open and positive culture of safeguarding. Not all legal requirements are met.

p.1

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Staff establish clear, predictable routines that help children understand expectations and manage transitions confidently. This supports children to move independently between activities and understand what is expected of them throughout the session. As a result, children settle quickly and make purposeful choices about how they spend their time. Staff monitor children's attendance closely and work with families and the host school to provide support where needed.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Typically, children behave well and listen to the staff's instructions. Generally, staff are prompt with their support and manage children's behaviour effectively. Children usually follow routines well, including lining up before outdoor play and tidying away resources. However, during mealtimes, staff do not consistently reinforce their expectations at the earliest opportunity. This does not consistently help children to develop greater self- discipline and responsibility.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

During themed activities, staff sit alongside children, encouraging them to share ideas and reflect on kindness and positive choices. Children are supported to collaborate and get along with others. Staff provide gentle guidance to help children share, take turns and manage minor disagreements, which supports the development of positive social skills and friendships. Staff take account of children's ages, stages of development and individual circumstances, when supporting behaviour. This helps children to develop confidence, positive attitudes and a sense of belonging within the club.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Staff provide clear instructions at the start of each session to ensure children understand the routine and how to keep themselves safe during the day. For example, staff talk about the importance of safety and what to do if the fire alarm sounds. Staff build trusting relationships with children, helping them to settle quickly and build confidence.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Daily routines support children's physical wellbeing. Staff encourage children to wash their hands before meals and encourage a positive attitude to healthy eating. They remind children about the importance of not sharing food and explain why this matters for those children with additional dietary needs.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Children's physical health is well supported through plentiful physical play activities. For example, children enjoy taking part in ball games, and dance activities. Children enjoy playing in their friendship groups and do this happily and collaboratively. Staff provide support for children to help them manage their emotions. They speak to children in a calm voice and introduce quiet areas for children to reflect and talk about how they are feeling and highlight their golden rule of being kind to one another.

p.2

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders promote an inclusive culture, where children are welcomed and supported appropriately. Staff work in partnership with families and the host school to gather relevant information about children's individual needs, emotional security and development. This enables leaders to identify children, who may require additional support and to respond appropriately to emerging needs. They monitor children's care needs and adapt their practice accordingly to ensure children are safe and happy. For example, they provide ear defenders or quiet areas for those who need some quiet time.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Leaders work with the host school to ensure those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the additional support they need. This helps all children to benefit fully from the activities on offer and feel part of this relaxed, friendly environment. All staff working with children receive training on how to support those with SEND, ensuring that staff are well equipped to offer additional support to those who need it. Staff monitor children's engagement in the club and feedback to parents and the host school. The provider uses additional funding, such as the Holiday activities and food programme, to provide nutritious, balanced meals.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

The club benefits from experienced leaders who put children first, ensuring their wellbeing and enjoyment of the club. The effective procedures support the smooth running of the club and ensures that children are safe and well cared for. Leaders liaise with the host school to identify and support disadvantaged children, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities or children known to social care. They use information from parents, partnership working with the host school and local authority to inform decisions and put appropriate support in place. The provider uses additional funding, such as the Holiday activities and food programme, to encourage children from outside the local area to access the club.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Regular staff supervision arrangements are in place and workloads are monitored to support staff effectively. Staff feel valued and are encouraged to share ideas and contribute to the development of the provision. Leaders support staff through appropriate training and professional development opportunities that are focused on strengthening practice and building staff confidence. For example, all staff have taken training on how to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Although there are monitoring arrangements in place, there is not consistency in coaching and oversight to help ensure that staff implement their expectations of children consistently to further strengthen the quality of provision.

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

Children thoroughly enjoy the time they spend in this fun and friendly club. Children arrive happily and are greeted warmly by staff. Staff get to know children well and form positive relationships with them. Children get to know the daily routines as staff gather them together for the morning induction. This supports children to feel safe and secure and understand what is expected of them. Staff actively gather children's ideas and preferences through voting activities that take place throughout the day. This enables staff to include children's favourite games in the programme, such as 'glow-in-the-dark volleyball'. As a result, staff

About this setting

Children have many opportunities to exercise and play outdoors in the fresh air. Staff lead a dynamic programme of activities that provides children with variation throughout the day. Organised sports, such as football, tennis and cricket are planned daily and delivered by enthusiastic well-trained staff. Children develop key physical skills, including ball control, coordination and spatial awareness. They also gain a secure understanding of teamwork and learn essential social skills, such as following rules, taking turns and showing respect for others.

p.5

About this setting

Staff are mindful and inclusive. They adapt all activities so children of a different age or stage of development can access them, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities. For example, children are provided with a quiet area or specialist equipment, to help them feel included.

p.5

About this setting

Overall, children behave well and are generally encouraged to take responsibility, such as tidying resources and lining up sensibly before outdoor play. Many do this confidently. Children speak enthusiastically about attending the club. They enjoy the wide range of sports and craft activities on offer. Staff promote attendance and quickly follow up on any absences so children fully benefit from the activities on offer.
