What is it like to attend this early years setting?

This provision meets requirements As children arrive at the club they are greeted warmly by staff, who ask them about their day at school.

Children behave well and are kind and considerate to their friends and engage politely and confidently with visitors. They tell visitors that they love coming to the club and spending time with their friends. Staff are positive role models and give clear guidance about expected behaviour.

They have positive relationships with children and talk to them kindly. Staff take an interest in what children do and say. Children involve staff in their play.

They initiate conversations with staff and enjoy talking about t...heir interests and things that they have done with their families.Children access the resources they need in their play freely, for example children find felt pens, paper and crayons to create their own pictures. They access card and sticky tape to extend their play of superheroes by making arm shields.

Children enjoy being creative. They use scissors, rollers and shapes to create their favourite pizza toppings with play dough. Children work together to construct buildings and jigsaw puzzles.

For example, they problem solve as they complete intricate jigsaws and rotate pieces to make them fit. They cooperate well, are kind and have respect for others as they play.

What does the early years setting do well and what does it need to do better?

Effective communication takes place between the host school and club.

Staff take and collect children from their classrooms at the start or at the end of their school day. They ensure that messages from school are passed onto parents when they collect their children. Staff are on hand to help children with their homework if required.

Children enjoy being physically active. They relish the opportunity to run around outside and can access a wide range of outdoor activities on offer. Children particularly enjoy playing team games, such as football and basketball.

They can access the large school playground throughout the session. Indoors, staff teach children card games, where they cooperate, take turns and problem solve.In the role-play area, younger children put on dressing-up clothes independently.

Children thoroughly enjoy themselves and join the imaginary play, calling their friends to join in. Older children coach younger children to use folding skills to make origami models. However, occasionally in the younger children's room, some activities have large numbers of children, meaning noise levels increase, which impacts on children's ability to concentrate and focus on their chosen activity.

Parents are very positive about the club. They say that when they collect their children they are always informed about what they have enjoyed doing and what they have eaten. Parents say that they would not hesitate to recommend the club to other parents.

Staff help children to be aware of their own safety. For instance, they know not to open the club door without a member of staff being with them. They tell staff when they need to go to the toilet and are accompanied, while staff wait for them outside.

Children can explain to visitors in detail the emergency evacuation procedures they practise.The manager and her staff team have created an inclusive setting that values diversity. Staff help children develop their understanding of the world through activities relating to festivals and celebrations.

Staff speak about the support they receive from management and clearly enjoy their work. The manager meets regularly with staff to identify training opportunities and discuss key children. Staff have attended safeguarding training and increased their knowledge of all aspects of safeguarding, to help keep children safe from harm.

They complete first-aid training, to ensure their knowledge of how to treat children's minor accidents or injuries is up to date. Staff conduct risk assessments on all areas used by the children to ensure they remain safe and secure.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Managers fully understand their role and responsibilities. All staff, including the newest, have good knowledge and understanding of issues that may affect the safety and well-being of children. Staff are all clear on who the designated leads for safeguarding are, and what their role is.

They know the signs and symptoms that might indicate a child is at risk of abuse. Staff are confident to whistle-blow, and they know who to report to if they have any concerns about a child's welfare or if an allegation is made against a member of staff. The recruitment and induction of staff are thorough, and individual suitability assessments are completed.
