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

How we evaluate safeguarding

When we inspect settings for safeguarding, they can have the following outcomes:

p.1

How we evaluate safeguarding

Met: The setting has an open and positive culture of safeguarding. Not met: The setting has not created an open and positive culture of safeguarding. Not all legal requirements are met.

p.1

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Children fully understand staff's expectations for their behaviour. They respond appropriately when staff remind them of sitting safely on the benches and using the stairs carefully to access the toilet facilities. They take turns and use the language of 'please', 'thank you' and 'you're welcome' when addressing staff and their friends.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Children show respect and care for each other. For example, during a game of 'Pop up pirate' they wait for their turn and invite others to join them in the game. Staff praise children. They demonstrate they are proud to be part of this inclusive environment.

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Children are motivated and stay focussed on activities for extended periods of time. They say they enjoy coming to the club as 'they have fun with their friends'. Staff offer them encouragement and ideas on how to extend and enhance their play. For example, during a craft activity staff support children in collaging pretend people, commenting on what fun it would be to have pink hair!

p.2

Behaviour, attitudes and establishing routines Expected standard

Staff regularly evaluate the activities available and consider children's ideas when developing future experiences. They listen carefully to children's ideas to ensure they can further develop their offering. Children and their parents comment on how much they enjoy the club. Club leaders monitor attendance to ensure continuity.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Children enjoy the healthy foods on offer at snack time. They sit with staff and friends making this a social experience. Children discuss their likes and dislikes and enjoy the independence of making their own choices. Staff recognise when children are tired and provide them with the space they need to relax. Children comfortably communicate these feelings with staff and staff respond by offering children a cosy space to relax with their friends while listening to stories read by staff. Children show they feel valued and belong to the club and go to staff as and when they need to be supported.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

Leaders recognise the importance of all children feeling valued and included and place great emphasis on building these strong relationships with children in their care. They take time to get to know them and work closely with the school and their families in order to facilitate this.

p.2

Children's welfare and wellbeing Expected standard

The space at the club is airy and children have access to the school playground and hall to engage in more physically active play. However, during times when these spaces are not available the offering for physically active play can at times be limited. Staff need further support to adapt the curriculum so that children have regular opportunities for physically active play, including when the playground and hall are unavailable.

p.2

Inclusion Expected standard

Staff are aware of individual children's needs and work closely with the school that children attend. They ensure they plan activities to support and complement the play opportunities their children receive at school. Play experiences at the club are child- led, with staff on hand to tailor and adapt activities to meet children's individual needs. The heightened staff ratios allow staff to offer tailored one to one support to children when needed. This ensures that children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can always be supported at the club. Staff are skilled in identifying children who may need emotional support and further encouragement to join in. They act quickly and involve them in individual and group play opportunities.

p.3

Inclusion Expected standard

Club leaders are reflective and are aware of the importance of ensuring there is always continuity in offering staff further training opportunities outside of the training they receive through the school partnership working. Leaders are working on ensuring staff have access to more specific training opportunities to enhance their current skills and experience, in particular within the area of SEND, so staff can always support all children, regardless of need, should they come on roll.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders are reflective and have clear plans in place for enhancing their offering. They recognise the need for continuous professional development opportunities outside of their partnership and training opportunities they have with the school children attend. They monitor staff and strive to ensure individuals of varying experience have opportunities to engage in training tailored to their identified professional development needs. However, there is more to do to ensure all staff always have access to training during times that fit within their working patterns. Staff feel valued and very much part of the team. They do not feel overburdened by their workload and value the current platforms in place to enhance their learning.

p.3

Leadership and governance Expected standard

Leaders work closely with the school and draw on its expertise, skills and experience when planning and reviewing provision. Parents say they are given regular daily updates, and their children are happy and enjoy sharing what they have enjoyed doing at the club.

What it's like to be a child at this setting

Staff greet children excitedly when they arrive at the club, reminding them of the routines of washing their hands and organising their belongings. Children quickly attend to the range of activities on offer and engage in conversations with staff around their chosen play. Children demonstrate they feel safe and comfortable with the care and nurture the staff team provide. They know staff well and go to them for comfort and cuddles as needed, demonstrating they are relaxed and happy at the club.

p.4

About this setting

p.5

About this setting

Children enjoy the range of learning experiences on offer, some of which include drawing and colouring on large paper, using scissors, glue and stickers to create, playing games and doing jigsaws. The cosy beanbag area provides children with a quiet space to take time out to relax, play with dolls and listen to stories.

p.5

About this setting

Staff support children's communication and language skills well. Children engage in two-way conversations with staff and talk to them about their day. Children enjoy sharing memorable experiences they have had outside of school with family and friends. The enthusiasm and interest staff show children supports them to feel valued and listened to. Staff model language to children as they provide a narrative for their play. This supports children in developing new vocabulary.

p.5

Next steps

Leaders should ensure all staff have consistent access to professional development that is tailored to their individual needs. Leaders should support staff to adapt the curriculum so that children have regular opportunities to engage in physically active play.
