p.3

who attend

Children are happy and well settled in the after school club. They have established positive relationships with staff which enables them to feel safe and secure. Children that are appropriately supported by the key person system in place and they have appropriate activities and experiences that generally complement their experiences at school. For example, they are beginning to develop mathematical ideas, such as learning to tell the time, identify shapes and use language to describe size and quantities such as half, quarter and whole in their activities. Staff borrow favourite books from the children's teachers to help them build on what they are learning at school. For example, children read a favourite story with staff and then have opportunities to extend this by engaging in art and craft activities based on the characters in the story.

p.3

who attend

There is some opportunity for children to make independent choices about their play. They have regular opportunities to engage in outdoor play, weather permitting, where they enjoy a range of physical activities from qualified sports coaches. Children have opportunities to be creative through the provision of arts and crafts resources such as gluing sticking and construction resources. They have space to engage in quiet activities or group games or board games, which provide them with opportunities to play together. Staff engage in the children's play, talk to them and ask them questions about what they are doing. This helps children feel valued and promotes their language skills well. Children also have access to computer games that are suitable for the age range of the children attending. Staff help children to take turns, explaining when children need to allow others to have a turn on the computer.

p.4

who attend

Partnerships on all levels are sound. Staff regularly engage with parents and there are suitable systems in place that promote positive working relationships with other professionals involved with children.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

The after school club provides a suitable environment where children are settled and enjoy positive relationships with staff. There is a suitable key person system in place, which promotes positive relationships between staff and children. Staff have a sound understanding of their role as key person and in meeting the needs of the younger children, which they generally support well.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Behaviour is good and relationships between children of all ages are positive. Children show a mutual respect towards each other and respond well to requests from staff. Children follow the club rules and staff remind them of these if they feel the need to reinforce these. Children play co-operatively together, sharing and taking turns with the resources. Younger children confidently engage with the older children who in turn show a caring attitude towards them, which results in everyone having a good time at the club.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children are learning about safety issues, as while they are engaged in play they receive gentle reminders from staff about keeping themselves safe. Children are reminded not to run inside and on occasion, if their play becomes too boisterous, they are calmly guided to redirect their play.

p.4

The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children

Children are developing a positive understanding about healthy living through their daily experiences. They independently manage their personal care routines; snacks are suitably healthy and information about their individual dietary needs is sought from parents and catered for.

p.4

provision

On the whole, the after school club is adequately managed and safeguarding arrangements are sufficiently in place. Children's arrival and departure times are closely monitored, through the daily attendance register and there are suitable procedures in place for uncollected children. Visitors to the setting are required to sign a visitors' book and staff check their identity. Systems to assess staff suitability are adequate. The provider has evidence to demonstrate that he has seen existing Criminal Records Bureau disclosures for staff, as well as references and certificates of their qualifications. These measures help to ensure staff are suitable to work with children.

p.5

provision

The club has adopted its policies and procedures from the local authority and staff have a suitable understanding of these. The manager demonstrates that she has some vision for the club, including managing staff performance through appraisals and one to one meetings. Staff ask the children for their views on the club and use this information to find out what they enjoy about attending and what activities they would like to see introduced. However, these suggestions are not always used well in order to compile a useful plan to improve the provision for children. There are currently no effective systems in place for managing the manager's performance and professional development. This means the manager is less confident in implementing appraisals on staff, in order to fully support their ongoing professional development alongside her own. Nonetheless, she monitors staff daily practice in order to identify strengths and areas for future training in readiness

to carry out these appraisals in the future.

p.5

provision

Satisfactory partnerships have been established between parents and staff. Whereby appropriate information is gathered from parents at the beginning of their child's placement at the club and information is regularly exchanged at the end of each day. Suitable links have also been established with the schools that children attend and there are systems in place to ensure that information concerning children is shared between them. This promotes continuity in children's learning between the club and school.
