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.

p.1
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard
Children are extremely well behaved at the out-of-school club. Staff are excellent role models and have thoughtful discussions with children about what positive behaviour should look and feel like. Together, staff and children create expectations to follow, such as not running inside and listening carefully to one another. Children are also incredibly polite. They enjoy social mealtimes, where they kindly say please and thank you to one another. They ask each other friendly questions about their exciting activities at school, such as their upcoming sports day.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard
Children are thoughtful about their environment. They swiftly clear away their resources with little prompting from staff. Tidy up time is effortless as children have already proactively cleared away after themselves.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard
Throughout the session, play is harmonious and respectful. Children gleefully run and giggle outside together, craft creatively or take turns easily during board games. They are consistently kind and respectful and have highly positive attitude towards their play and participation.
p.2
Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard
Leaders have developed effective systems that ensure any absence at the out-of-school club is promptly followed up. Staff support a secure routine so that children consistently know what comes next.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard
Leaders consistently prioritise all children's welfare and wellbeing. They provide staff with precise training to ensure they understand how to meet children's individual needs. Staff work together to support and develop children's emotional wellbeing, by promoting meaningful and nurturing conversations with children about how they are feeling. Staff get to know children remarkably well and as a result, children immediately feel safe and settled as they arrive.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard
Children learn to be highly independent. Staff provide tailored support to those who are younger but promote plenty of opportunities for them to complete tasks for themselves. For example, children self-select their activities and take care of their classroom environment.
p.2
Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard
Children have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they explain they do not run inside because they might fall over and cause injury. Children talk to staff about staying safe in hot weather, such as staying in the shade and drinking plenty of water. Children make healthy decisions for themselves. Furthermore, staff provide children with a variety of healthy meal options. Children and parents speak positively about this as children regularly access a healthy meal that they enjoy. Parents also share that staff cater specifically for children's individual diets and preferences.
p.2
Inclusion Strong standard
Staff are highly knowledgeable about how to support children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Leaders have developed systems that ensure they receive information about children when they first start to work with teachers and other professionals where necessary. This means that children received a shared approach to their care and that staff can use strategies that work well for children at home, for example.
p.3
Inclusion Strong standard
Staff are highly inclusive and consistent in their approach to supporting all children. They ensure all activities can be adapted to suit children's age and stage of development. For example, staff adjust the level of support they offer for the youngest children. This means that all groups of children can access all the enriching experiences on offer at this out-of- school setting.
p.3
Inclusion Strong standard
Leaders are focused and strategic in ensuring high quality care for all children. They provide training to staff to enable them to provide secure support to all families. For example, they know how to offer individualised support for families of children who might be at a disadvantage or those who are known to or previously known to children's social care. Leaders provide specific SEND training to enhance staff knowledge even further.
p.3
Leadership and governance Strong standard
Leaders have a secure and strategic oversight of the provision. They monitor the effectiveness of the out-of-school club regularly and provide staff with feedback to support improvement. Leaders also tailor training specifically to support staff to enhance their own skills. For example, they provide guidance on planning activities and managing behaviour.
p.3
Leadership and governance Strong standard
Staff explain that they have regular opportunities for shared feedback so they can discuss their performance and professional development. For example, they have engaged in training to further their understanding of working with children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff feel valued and respected in their roles as they continue to broaden their own knowledge.
p.3
Leadership and governance Strong standard
Staff have developed excellent partnerships with parents. They provide them with regular updates about activities and even invite them into the club for shows when children have been working together to create a performance. Parents speak highly of the care their children receive and the warm relationships they have with staff. Leaders and staff have also worked hard to establish secure channels of communication with other professionals, such as teachers who work with children during the day. This means that any strategies to support children can be implemented by staff at the out-of-school club. As a result, children benefit from a joined-up approach to their care.

What it's like to be a child at this setting
All children settle remarkably well at this warm and welcoming out-of-school club. They are greeted by joyful staff who know them well. Children are highly enthusiastic about the interesting activities that staff have set-up for them. Together, children dress up as vets and enjoy imaginative play with their friends. Staff engage in thoughtful conversations with children about what job they might like to do when they are older. Staff also provide different areas for children to relax in, recognising that some children may need time to regulate their

For example, they implement collaborative strategies to support children when they transition to and from school.
p.5
About this setting
Staff want all children to enjoy enriching experiences at the club. They regularly celebrate different festivals and enjoy a broad range of crafts. Children have opportunities to grow their own fruits and flowers outside the classroom. Parents and children speak about this positive experience. For example, they discuss how they have grown strawberries for snack time. Furthermore, children develop excellent social skills as they play collaboratively with friends of all different ages. Older children are kind and respectful as they invite younger children to play imaginative games with them.
