p.1

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children's behaviour is exemplary. They understand the behaviour rules of the club, such as using kind words and kind hands. Children follow instructions carefully. For instance, when asked, they stand back from the gate when it is opened at home time. Staff regularly remind children of the need to keep themselves safe, such as by not running inside, and children listen respectfully. This helps them to develop the skills to stay safe and secure.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Children are exceptionally friendly and respectful towards friends and staff. Older children happily help younger children when needed. For instance, they help them to separate bricks that are stuck together. Children work well together as they use bricks to make a 'ghost cabin' and 'a pool and a house'. They quickly decide that they want to turn it into a competition, and ask staff to judge their efforts. Staff are extremely complimentary about the competition entries and children demonstrate a huge sense of achievement. Staff listen to children respectfully and regularly ask them for their opinions and thoughts on suggested activities. This encourages children to develop their communication and independence skills.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Strong standard

Leaders work comprehensively with parents and carers, the on-site school teachers and external professionals to best support all children's wellbeing. Leaders precisely monitor children's attendance to ensure the safety of all children, including those children who have not arrived to the club as expected. For instance, if children do not attend for a booked session, staff liaise with parents, teachers and emergency carers to check the children's wellbeing.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Children demonstrate positive relationships with the staff and leaders. They are extremely chatty and respond respectfully when staff ask them questions. Staff encourage children to talk about their feelings and emotions. They explain why it is okay to feel a certain way, such as when they lose a game. Leaders have reflected that this is an area in which they wish to develop even further.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff encourage children to choose their own activities, and make adaptations as necessary to suit children's individual needs. For example, children are able to independently choose a quiet activity, such as colouring, if they become overwhelmed and do not want to play active games. Staff encourage and praise children for their efforts. This helps to develop children's self-esteem and self-confidence. Key staff support younger children and know them extremely well. This helps them to feel safe and secure at the club.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Strong standard

Staff promote leading a healthy lifestyle. Children help themselves to healthy snacks such as fruit, vegetables or wraps. Snack time is a sociable time, and children chat away to friends, comparing their food choices. Leaders proactively cater for children with dietary and allergy requirements. They ask parents and carers to provide detailed information when children first join the club. Children have access to a safe outdoor space, where they enjoy a range of activities, such as football and stacking cones into patterns. Staff encourage children to decide what they want to play with. This helps to promote children's independence, curiosity and problem-solving skills.

p.2

Inclusion Strong standard

Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those known, or previously known, to children's social care are well supported. Leaders have provided a highly inclusive and welcoming club that values all children. Staff work closely with parents, carers and school teachers to understand all children's individual needs and preferences prior to them starting. They share information precisely within the team so that everyone understands how best to support each child. Staff skilfully place any necessary adaptations in place ready for the children to start. For instance, children are able to play with favourite resources and activities that they enjoy playing with at school. This helps children to feel extremely comfortable and secure at the club.

p.3

Inclusion Strong standard

Leaders are thoroughly proud of the solid links they have developed with the teachers at the on-site school. Staff are able to access ample training opportunities that interest them, as well as training that supports all individual children's needs. Leaders enthusiastically share communications with staff via a detailed online platform, and communicate on a consistent basis. This allows them to share information consistently and means that staff can keep up to date with any change in circumstances. Therefore, children benefit from continuity in their care and support.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have an extremely robust system in place to mentor and support all staff. They have a wide range of support in place, and they value staff taking part in training opportunities. This allows staff to develop their skills and increase their knowledge. Leaders proactively monitor the effectiveness of the club, its areas for improvement and areas they still wish to develop. They regularly review policies, procedures and risk assessments and adapt them as needed, to ensure the best outcomes for all children.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Leaders have designed thorough recruitment procedures to ensure staff are suitable to work with children. They provide staff with one-to-one support and regular team meetings to keep them up to date with new legislation and developments. Staff feel that leaders are fantastic at supporting them, and feel confident to seek advice and support if needed. Leaders are extremely mindful of staff workload and all staff greatly enjoy their time working at the club.

p.3

Leadership and governance Strong standard

Staff know children and their families extremely well. They spend time chatting to them so that they know the children and their preferences thoroughly. Staff adapt routines and activities to ensure that all children are able to attend the club with the best possible support in place. Parents and carers are extremely happy with the care given to their children. They comment that they receive a high level of communication and that staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Parents say that their children have an amazing time at the club and that they know they are safe and secure there.

Children arrive at the club with huge smiles on their faces. They instantly seek out their friends and chat away about their day at school. Children place their belongings down before excitedly heading outside with friends and choosing an activity to play with. They laugh and show healthy competition as they play table tennis, displaying impressive skill. Children cheer each other on and praise their efforts as they keep score. They chat away confidently to visitors about how often they play the game, and demonstrate trick shots. Children congratulate the winner, showing respectful friendships.
