Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: The manager and the inspector completed a tour of the club both indoors and outdoors to understand how the club is organised.
Communication: The manager and staff have a highly effective relationship with parents and teachers at the host school. Working together and daily communication ensures staff plan activities that complement the learning experiences at school and promote children's overall well-being at the club. Parents have overwhelming praise for the dedicated and caring staff. They applaud the daily communication from staff and express how their children repeatedly ask to attend the club.
Programs and Resources: Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is highly effective. The club has a trained special educational needs coordinator, who works collaboratively with parents and teachers to ensure all children thrive and continually have their individual needs met. Children benefit from small interaction groups, where staff support children's speech and language development and accept the needs of others through turn-taking games.
Welcoming and Professional Staff: Children eagerly enter from the link school, chatting enthusiastically with their peers about what they are going to play with first. Children instantly feel relaxed and safe, when staff show a genuine interest and listen intently as they tell them about their day. Children feel a sense of belonging and talk proudly to visitors about their creative artwork that staff beautifully display around the club.
Safeguarding Training: She ensures staff maintain secure safeguarding knowledge and offers them training to meet the needs of the children they care for at the club.
Play and Learning Integration: Children develop their confidence as patient staff give them time and space to play and learn through trial and error. Staff know children incredibly well. They offer the right amount of support and consider individual interests to ensure all children have fun and build on what they already know and can do.
Happiness and Settling: Children feel a sense of belonging and talk proudly to visitors about their creative artwork that staff beautifully display around the club.
Nutritional Menu: Children are learning good hygiene routines and independently wash their hands before eating. Staff ensure children's safety at mealtimes by ensuring a member of staff is always sitting with them. Children know what is expected of them and place their rubbish in the bin provided without prompting. Mealtimes are sociable events, where children become increasingly independent in their self-care needs. Children tell visitors the healthy foods they eat are 'yummy'. Staff intentionally prepare the food, so children learn to self-serve and make healthy food choices. As a result, children develop and refine physical skills, such as learning to hold a knife with control when spreading butter on their wrap. Additionally, children develop their self-esteem, and feel a sense of achievement, when friendly staff and peers congratulate their wrap-making skills.
