p.1

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children's behaviour is excellent and staff rarely need to remind children of the expectations of the club. Staff are skilful at sharing the rules and make these easy and simple to understand, giving examples of when they might need to stop and listen or how to access the toilet. For example, staff explain the importance of knowing what to do if the fire alarm sounds. Children are able to very confidently tell staff where they need to line up and the importance of listening to instructions from an adult. This means children consistently feel confident and are learning to keep themselves safe.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Staff have worked tremendously hard to build and maintain positive relationships with every child who attends. Children come into the club, excited to see staff and share what they have been doing at school or where they have been at the weekend. This means children really enjoy their time at the club and look forward to coming back again.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders work consistently with parents to promote the importance of regular attendance and informing the club if they no longer need their children to attend. Parents share how they value the communication by staff to check in and make sure everything is OK if their child does not attend when they are booked in. As a result, children receive care that is consistent and families feel incredibly well supported.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Leaders have an excellent overview of the care children receive during their time in this club. They provide extensive support to enable staff to provide care that is of an extremely high standard and fully meets the needs of all children who attend. For example, staff complete courses that enable them to provide behaviour support that is tailored and specific to individual children. Therefore, children respond really positively to staff who adapt their approach according to specific needs.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff are very focused on the importance of making sure all children enjoy attending and speak to children with ease and fondness. For example, staff ask children how their day has been and follow up on previous conversations, such as whether they had a nice holiday or enjoyed their weekend. This builds children's self esteem and gives them a sense of belonging.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children really enjoy participating in team games and staff use this time as an opportunity to engage children in excellent discussions around the importance of keeping active. Children talk about being healthy during snack time. For example, they discuss the different types of fruit on offer, commenting on how they love to eat oranges at home. This teaches children to make healthy choices and develops their confidence to try new things.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff work very closely with school staff and parents to provide care for children that is highly inclusive. They use information gathered from the booking forms, as well as conversations with teachers in the school, to find out how children prefer to engage in activities or the most effective way to communicate with them. They are skilled at assessing individual needs and using this information to reduce barriers to children's wellbeing.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Staff use their detailed knowledge to adapt the activities on offer and fully engage children. For example, children help to set up of a game of darts, using sticky fabric pads, and add up the points gained after each throw. As a result, every child feels fully included and is starting to develop a sense of pride and achievement.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Training around special educational needs and/or disabilities is completed by all leaders, and this knowledge is shared appropriately to make sure all staff are providing excellent and consistent care for those who need it. For example, leaders provide expert guidance around putting boundaries in place for children who need support with attention and concentration. Communication between staff is excellent, and, because of this, children's needs are being fully met, and children are thriving.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders know the local area really well and have used this information to expertly tailor the service they provide. For example, staff work very closely with parents to provide the right support at the right time. As a result, families value the relationships they have and feel able to approach staff if they need any advice or guidance.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have an excellent oversight of the setting and are aware of their strengths as well as areas they plan to make even better. They work extremely closely with local schools and other organisations to make sure the care they provide is of a very high quality for every child.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Staff share how they really enjoy working at the setting and are fully supported to develop their knowledge and skills through training. They are fully committed to ensuring they are delivering a service that has children at the very heart of everything they do. For example, staff undertake training on the most effective ways to provide support to children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. This means activities are developed by confident staff who fully understand the importance of providing a completely inclusive service that meets the needs of all children.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Communication between leaders and the staff team is excellent with regular effective communication that encourages feedback and the sharing of ideas to improve practice. Because of these positive relationships, the setting has an excellent culture of mutual respect and openness.

Address:

Bedenham Primary School Bridgemary Avenue example, staff fully engage all children in regular discussions about the rules of the club and why they are important to follow. Children are able to clearly describe these to the group, confidently explaining why they need to be kind to their friends and listen carefully to instructions. This means everyone is working together incredibly well, which builds a harmonious environment where all children feel happy and know what is expected of them.

p.5

Address:

Children are really keen to join in with the activities that are provided. For example, staff ask children what they would like to do during their time in the club and use this to plan games and experiences that the children will enjoy. Children enjoy being creative and making sand pictures at the table, which provides important time to unwind after a busy day at school. Children are also excited when they see a game of 'noodle football' has been set up for them to play. Staff expertly support children to participate by joining in and modelling how to score a goal or pass the ball to their friend. As a result, children are developing confidence and building friendships.

Next steps

Leaders should ensure continued improvement in the setting's successful work to remove barriers for children who need extra help to realise a transformational impact on all children's wellbeing.
