p.1

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Leaders and staff are fully committed to promoting children's physical development and wellbeing. They offer children a wide variety of opportunities to promote their physical health and development, such as ball games and hockey. Staff provide a range of specialised experiences, including fencing and archery. This helps children to develop self-discipline, determination and persistence, as well as an understanding of how to keep themselves and others safe.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff consistently prioritise children's emotional wellbeing. They work with the school and with parents and carers to help children settle into the club and form secure attachments with staff. Staff provide planned activities, such as yoga, to support children to identify and express their emotions effectively. They provide targeted support to help children develop resilience, using games to teach children how it feels to win and lose.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Leaders and staff consistently promote healthy lifestyles. Staff offer enrichment opportunities focusing on topics such as oral care. They invite dentists into the club and provide teeth cleaning activities which help children learn the importance of caring for their teeth. Staff provide a wide variety of healthy foods and encourage children to try new foods, such as falafel and hummus. They ensure that children's individual dietary requirements are respected so all children are fully included. Children enjoy socialising at snack time and independently serve themselves, consistently making healthy choices.

p.2

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders are passionate about providing high-quality care and learning in the club. They provide comprehensive induction and supervisory meetings to support staff develop their skills and knowledge. Leaders ensure staff have access to training. They provide staff with opportunities to take on further responsibilities and clear pathways for career progression. Leaders consider the individual needs of staff and ensure their workloads are manageable. Staff report feeling very well supported in the club. They value the ongoing training that enhances their practice. Leaders ensure training is of a high standard and precisely matched to the needs of staff and the club.

p.2

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders are highly evaluative and consistently review the effectiveness of the club. They work with staff to identify strengths and areas for development. Leaders and staff have recognised the need to support staff to be consistent in how they manage children's behaviour. They have created detailed action plans, including introducing strategies to support children's behaviour more consistently. Leaders are continuing to fully embed this, reviewing the impact regularly.

p.2

Leadership and governance Strong standard

p.2

Expected standard

create excellent relationships with the school which aids consistency of care for children. Staff share information with teachers and parents to ensure children's needs are met.

p.3

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Leaders work with the school and with parents and carers to promote regular attendance. They help children to learn the routines and expectations of the club. Children settle immediately to their play, enjoying the range of experiences staff provide and confidently requesting other resources to extend their learning. Children collaborate well when building in the construction area and enjoy playing card games together. They care for their own belongings and manage their own personal care needs, developing independence skills. Children typically help to look after the club, such as washing up after snack time. This helps them to develop their sense of responsibility. Staff get to know children well and develop positive relationships. Children listen respectfully and follow their directions.

p.3

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Leaders and staff generally provide guidance for children's behaviour. They use a 'fun agreement' which helps children to understand that they can enjoy themselves when playing while make ensuring that everyone stays safe. Staff model and promote positive manners and typically support children to behave positively. However, they do not apply strategies to manage children's behaviour consistently. This means that children are occasionally distracted from their play. Staff adapt routines so all children can participate in enriching group activities, supporting their social development.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

A key priority for leaders is to ensure that every child feels included in the club. They provide training for staff so they can identify and support children with special educational needs and or disabilities. Staff work closely with the school to understand children's individual needs. They typically implement tailored strategies to support children. Staff help children to manage their emotions by teaching them to recognise and express their feelings appropriately. They adapt routines so children have time to unwind or process their emotions.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Staff have high expectations for all children and adapt their approach so everyone can participate. They generally provide extra support, resources and time for children to complete their activities. Staff frequently speak with children about differences between them and the importance of respecting these. They provide group activities and ensure every child, including the quieter ones, participate. For example, during ball games, staff encourage children to share information about their preferences, homes and families. This helps them to develop confidence and pride in their backgrounds. Staff ensure that children with dietary or medical needs are included in all aspects of the club. They adapt mealtimes so they remain safe while participating fully.

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

Children settle well into the club because leaders work closely with the school and with parents and carers. Leaders use these partnerships to promote children's attendance and gather information about children's individual needs. Children and their families attend events before starting, which helps them to build trusting relationships with staff. Children quickly get to know the routines of the club. They queue patiently when waiting for other children to arrive. Children take part in physical activities in the school hall. This helps them to release energy and prepare for the rest of the session.
