They consistently use good manners and listen and follow instructions. Staff praise children for positive behaviour, which reinforces their expectations and builds children's self esteem. Children take turns in group games and listen to others' views. The environment is calm and welcoming. Staff are skilful in adapting their interactions to suit the needs and abilities of children they are communicating with to ensure understanding. Staff discuss with children the plan for the day ahead so all children are aware of what to expect.

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders plan engaging activities that enable all children to join in and build on teamwork skills. For example, as children play games, they work together as 'foxes' to catch other children who are 'rabbits'. This promotes children being physically active and with opportunities to work together. Children persevere when they find things difficult. Staff sensitively encourage children to keep trying to build their resilience and independence. They are positive role models for children. The club works closely with families to support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This positively impacts children's overall engagement and behaviour. Leaders are flexible and they are aware of the importance of regular attendance. They support families with this and this ensures children benefit from the full experience of attending the club.

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff build positive relationships with children and their families. They have open communication with each child and their families on arrival. They check on their wellbeing at the beginning of the day. This means any adaptations to the day can be made to ensure they are meeting each child's needs. Staff have strong and trusting relationships with the children. They seek out adults they have formed strong bonds with and check in when they are needing reassurance. Children express that they thoroughly enjoy attending the club and particularly like the level of outdoor activities provided daily.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Leaders and staff promote healthy habits. Children have access to fresh air and physical activity regularly. When the weather means they no longer can access the outdoor space, staff provide opportunities for children to build their physical skills, such as balance and coordination, indoors. Staff discuss the changes that happen in our bodies when they exercise, such as hearts beating faster. Staff have discussions about healthy eating and provide nutritious and balanced meals and snacks. Staff discuss how to effectively brush teeth and the use of floss and the importance of this. Leaders understand the importance of managing children's access to screen time.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff have extensive knowledge and experience of working with children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. They work closely with families to ensure they can meet the needs of all of the children that attend the club. They provide stability for children and activities are adapted to ensure inclusivity for all. Parents state that their children have formed strong, positive relationships with staff and how this reassures them that their child is enjoying their time at the club. Staff access relevant education, health and care plans. They then provide individualised support for each child. As a result, children engage fully and flourish.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff benefit from ongoing training and professional development. They create strong relationships with a variety of professionals in order to best support the children who attend. The environment is planned considering children's needs. Children can choose between group physical games and activities or a more calm and quiet environment. Staff recognise when children need to regulate their emotions and encourage them to take part in a more focused, individual activity.

They check in on their wellbeing and manage their workload. Staff state that they feel well supported and encouraged to access additional training to improve their practice.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

The safer recruitment procedure is in depth and consists of a rigorous induction process. This ensures all staff have the knowledge, experience and skills to provide high-quality care for children at the club. Leaders work extremely hard to provide children with opportunities, regardless of their background or ability. They develop strong relationships with parents, schools and other professionals. Leaders and staff demonstrate a shared commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for every child. They regularly communicate with families who state that they are updated as to what their children have been taking part in. They review policies and procedures annually, but will adapt these more regularly if necessary and share updates with staff immediately. This ensures the safety of children and staff.

About this setting

Unique reference number (URN): 2852034 excitedly enter on arrival and settle quickly. Activities consider children's needs. For example, staff recognise that some children are showing signs of worry over the next stage of their education. They provide dough for children to explore, alongside books discussing worries. This gives children opportunities to explore their worries and discuss them with adults, who they have a trusting relationship with.

p.5

About this setting

Children take turns in group activities. They share balls so all children are given a turn to throw them. When they are 'out' in games, they smile and sit to the side celebrating their friends who are still 'in'. They demonstrate fantastic social skills. Children confidently seek help from staff if needed. Staff encourage children to try new things and build on current skills. For example, staff recognise children who are struggling to peel an orange. They offer help by starting to remove the peel and then encourage children to finish it off independently. This gives children a sense of pride and achievement.

p.5

About this setting

Children confidently discuss with visitors important rules of the setting. They understand how to stay safe when taking part in activities and who they can talk to if they feel unsure or unsafe. All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities or those who may face barriers to their learning, are supported well.
