Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The robust recruitment and supervision procedures ensure that all staff have a solid knowledge and understanding of how to protect children in their care. Staff know the signs and symptoms of possible abuse and how to record and report any concerns regarding children's welfare. Staff are clear about their responsibilities to protect children to help keep them safe. Staff teach children about staying safe as they carefully identify and manage risks on the walk back from school. Children have a good understanding of how to stay safe, both indoors and outside. Staff support each other well and are led by a positive, experienced and qualified management team. The manager accesses local support and training opportunities. Staff attend training courses tailored to their identified professional development needs, in order to expand on their existing knowledge. Children comment that they feel involved and included in plans

for development. Parents comment that they are given good opportunities for two-way communication. The whole staff team demonstrates a positive attitude towards evaluating the provision they offer. They show a commitment towards making continuous improvements, in order to provide a good quality service for children and families in the local community.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Many staff are experienced in working in early years settings and have good knowledge of how to support young children's learning. They skilfully encourage children to speak about their day to help build their communication and language skills. The environment is organised well to enable children to make safe and independent choices in their play. Staff plan a wide range of activities based on children's interests and build on the learning that is taking place at school. Children are encouraged to get involved in planning play activities, and staff listen and respond to their suggestions. Younger children are excited as they make clear links between what they are learning at school and in the club. Staff provide challenge and opportunities for them to develop their independence, helping children to develop the skills needed as they progress on to the next stage of their education.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children develop good social skills as staff teach them to share, take turns and help each other. Older children learn about responsibilities from the additional tasks they are given and are positive role models for younger children. Staff are proactive in helping children to develop respect for others and understand acceptable behaviour. Children apply their learning well and behaviour is good. An effective key-person system is in place for younger children who attend, which provides them with security. The key person liaises effectively with the early years staff at the school to ensure good continuity of care and learning for children. Regular discussions with parents help staff to meet children's care and emotional needs consistently. Children are able to attend for taster sessions before they start, which helps them to become familiar with staff and the club environment. Children learn that good hygiene routines and having healthy snacks and drinks promote
