Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders establish clear expectations for behaviour and consistent routines that are implemented by staff throughout the session. Children understand what is expected of them and respond positively to familiar routines from arrival through to collection. Staff provide clear explanations before activities begin, helping children understand expectations and move confidently between different parts of the session. This consistency creates a calm, orderly environment, where children know what to expect and can engage successfully throughout the day.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Staff promote positive behaviour through positive role modelling, encouragement and clear, consistent guidance. They recognise children's efforts and celebrate cooperation, kindness and perseverance. Staff anticipate when children may need additional support to follow routines or engage in activities and adapt their approach accordingly. Children respond well to this support. They listen carefully to instructions, take turns, share resources and cooperate well with one another. They remain engaged during activities and demonstrate consideration for others.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Routines are well embedded and support children's growing independence. Children take responsibility for everyday tasks, such as tidying away resources and following established routines with minimal prompting. Leaders promote attendance through clear communication with families and follow up promptly when children are absent. As a result, children attend regularly and contribute to the calm, respectful and positive atmosphere within the club.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children's welfare and wellbeing are prioritised through effective care practices and a strong focus on health and safety. Staff supervise children closely across the indoor and outdoor environments, carrying out ongoing checks to ensure areas remain safe and suitable throughout the session. Clear routines help children move safely between activities while maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff respond effectively to children's individual health, care and emotional needs. They implement agreed care routines consistently and promote good hygiene through well- established practices, including regular handwashing. This helps children develop positive habits that support their wellbeing.

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children benefit from regular opportunities to be physically active. For example, they enjoy outdoor play in the garden, using the climbing equipment and taking part in active games. These experiences help children to develop their physical skills, coordination and balance while encouraging cooperation and resilience. Staff also encourage healthy eating as part of children's everyday routines. As a result, children benefit from an environment that supports their physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Leaders and staff successfully promote an inclusive culture, where all children are welcomed, valued and supported to participate. Strong partnerships with parents and carers, alongside effective collaboration with external professionals, ensure that children's individual needs, routines and strategies are understood and consistently implemented. This consistent approach helps children to feel secure and participate fully in the club's activities.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff are well trained and highly responsive to children's individual needs. They adapt activities and provide personalised support to remove barriers to participation. A range of strategies, including visual supports and access to quiet and sensory spaces, helps children to regulate their emotions and engage confidently in play. Staff provide timely reassurance and encouragement, enabling children to join activities at their own pace while promoting confidence, independence and positive relationships. Leaders monitor inclusive practice closely and ensure staff have the knowledge and skills to respond effectively to children's changing needs. This helps to create an environment where all children can access meaningful experiences alongside their peers. As a result, children are included successfully, develop positive relationships and enjoy being part of the club, with barriers to participation identified and reduced through thoughtful and responsive practice.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders provide exemplary leadership and clear strategic direction. They are reflective in their approach and have an accurate understanding of the club's strengths. Leaders maintain effective oversight of practice, ensuring high expectations are understood and implemented consistently by staff. This creates a well-organised environment, where children benefit from consistently positive experiences.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders support staff through regular communication, professional development and purposeful guidance. Staff have a secure understanding of their roles and responsibilities and work together effectively to deliver the club's vision. Leaders promote a culture of reflection, accountability and continuous improvement, ensuring practice remains consistent and responsive to the needs of children and families.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have established excellent partnerships with the host school, parents, carers and the wider community, recently establishing the Milo Charity to help ensure all children can access the club and the opportunities it provides. Effective daily communication ensures important information is shared promptly, supporting continuity in children's experiences. Parents speak positively about the exciting experiences provided for children and the positive impact these have on family life.
