Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The qualified team of staff updates their first aid and safeguarding training regularly to refresh their knowledge and skills. This helps them to protect children's safety and welfare effectively. Staff continually risk assess the daily routines and the areas used by children to help minimise risks. For example, when there are visitors on the premises during school meetings, the staff ensure that children are supervised if they leave the main playroom. The manager organises regular site meetings with the staff team to discuss planned activities, health and safety issues, and what needs to be improved. Staff are clear of their roles and responsibilities and work together well to support children's needs. Parents receive clear information about the club through the company's website, newsletters and the notices displayed. The informal exchange of information between staff and parents at handover times keeps the parents well informed

about their children's care and well-being. The management has a positive attitude to the improvement of the club. They welcome feedback from the parents and children to help them to develop the service they provide.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy coming to the club and quickly get involved in their chosen activity. Staff have a flexible approach towards the planning of activities. Most of the session children are able to choose whether they play indoors or outdoors. Children show good levels of independence as they select their own resources, such as experimenting with the various materials at the craft table. Staff interact positively with children asking questions to support the children's learning further. Children have great fun as they manipulate the playdough, testing out the tools to see how they work, as they create patterns and shapes. They happily chat with their friends and younger children learn new ways to do things from watching older children. This helps to prepare them for the next stage in their development. Staff recognise when younger children need extra guidance during a game and get involved to offer sensitive support so that everyone can join in.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The environment is welcoming, safe and secure. Staff know children well and interact in a warm and friendly manner. When children start they gain information from parents about children's individual interests and incorporate these in the play experiences. The older and younger children play together well as they share the resources and play equipment. Children enjoy being in the outdoors play environment. Children's health is well supported and their physical development is promoted effectively. For example, they run freely, join in with ball games and show good control on the climbing apparatus.
