They meet regularly with the manager to discuss their performance and training needs. Staff are keen and motivated to develop their knowledge, understanding and skills, and undertake training and further study to improve the quality of their practice.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time in the club. Staff provide a wide range of activities that children enjoy. Children choose what they want to do and often return to activities and play from previous sessions. Staff ask children a good range of questions which encourages them to think and explain their ideas. Staff carefully observe children in their play and activities. They give children positive instructions and ideas to extend their play. Children enjoy writing for a purpose. Staff support children as they accurately write simple words, giving them confidence to have a go and then celebrating their success. Staff work well with the host school to ensure that learning in school is complemented in the setting. For example, staff know and understand the approach the school use to teach early reading and writing. This helps them support new skills and provide continuity in learning.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are warm and caring towards children, who are happy, safe and secure in the setting. Staff are good role models who work very well together. They show respect for each other and encourage children to do the same. Children behave well and know what is expected of them. They respond quickly to instructions from staff and follow codes for behaviour. They play well together and are developing good communication and social skills. Children know and follow good hygiene routines before snack time. They eagerly help themselves from a range of healthy snacks which includes fruit and vegetables. Children are motivated, independent and developing key skills which prepare them well for the next stage in their learning. Children enjoy opportunities to be physically active, such as using the climbing equipment in the school playground. Older children help their younger friends during activities. Children respond well to the praise and encouragement
