What is it like to attend this early years setting?

This provision meets requirements Staff provide a good range of experiences that complement children's learning and the routines of their school day. They accurately consider that some children need time to relax with their friends and others need opportunities to be physically active. Children enjoy their time outside and make decisions about their play.

For example, they use bats and balls, playing cooperatively as they aim, hit and chase the ball companionably. There are good opportunities for children to play and learn together, such as engaging in parachute games. This helps children gain good physical and social skills.

Staff are good role models for... the children, encouraging them to be polite and well mannered. They engage children in conversations, listening to their responses and encouraging them to communicate effectively. Children behave well, and they show respect for each other and their possessions.

Familiar routines, such as completing a clapping rhythm, encourage them to pay attention and listen to instructions. Leaders and managers evaluate the provision well and have high expectations for the children who attend. They have considered how the hall is organised and now ensure that resources are available to children as they arrive.

They have considered children's views, and the signing-in process for the club has changed so that children do not sit for too long before being able to play.

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

Staff spend time with new children and help them to explore the environment, such as introducing the 'Reception-only corner'. They remind them that if an older child comes into this area and they do not want them to play, they can ask them to leave and older children will listen.

They provide reassurance to those who are upset and quickly find out what they would like to play with, supporting their emotional well-being successfully.When children start, staff gather good information from parents to help meet children's individual care needs effectively. However, they do not always gather as much information from parents regarding children's interests and current learning to plan initial experiences even more successfully.

Staff work closely with the school, especially to help younger children during the induction period. This helps children to feel comfortable with a familiar member of staff when they start at the club. These close links with the school provide continuity for those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.

Staff share action plans and ensure they adapt the environment and routines to meet children's needs.Staff organise the environment and resources effectively overall, and encourage children to be involved in the planning of activities. Children explore their creativity well.

They confidently talk about what they have built with the plastic bricks and talk about the significance of Remembrance Day while they make poppies.Children develop good independence. They take responsibility for their possessions, ensuring they hang their coats and bags up on arrival.

They dress themselves for outdoor play and help themselves to drinks when they are thirsty. Children respond well to requests to help to tidy away without any fuss, showing a good understanding of the behavioural expectations.The provider uses safer recruitment procedures well to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children.

Managers complete regular performance development meetings to raise the quality of staff knowledge and interactions to support children in their future learning.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.Managers and staff have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to protect children from harm and the procedures to follow should they have concerns.

Staff use risk assessments effectively and help children understand the procedures to keep them safe. For example, staff provide clear explanation to help children understand why some areas of the playground are not in use. Staff ensure they are fully aware of who may collect the children and follow robust procedures to protect children.
