Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and her staff team have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities. Staff complete regular and ongoing child protection training to keep their knowledge up to date. Safeguarding is effective. Staff who are qualified in first-aid are deployed effectively so that they are on-hand to provide treatment in the event of an accident or incident. Management maintains comprehensive policies and procedures, which it shares with staff and parents. Management uses good vetting procedures to help ensure that all staff working with children are suitable. Staff have appropriate training and support for their role. The staff have a range of experience and share good practice, which helps them develop their skills. Partnerships with parents and the school are good. Parents comment positively on the quality of care and experiences their children receive.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff arrive early to have team discussions, organise resources and prepare the hut. Activities are ready and available to welcome the children when they arrive. Children arrive happy and interested in what is on offer. Children select from the range of resources set up and additional resources from the shelves, which are arranged so they can see what is on offer. Staff encourage children to make free choices about what they would like to do. Children engage in a craft activity making Easter cards and windmills, which staff planned because they know art is a popular activity that many children enjoy. Children work well together and discuss their ideas with one another and staff. They pay close attention to what they are doing. They concentrate well and are deeply engaged in the activity, which helps to develop children's expressive art and design, and creativity. Staff celebrate children's choices and this helps to create a good atmosphere, where staff and children

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy, behave well and have good relationships with staff and their friends. They know the names of all of the adults. Children enjoy a snack in small groups before they engage in the activities. When children start at the club, staff collect detailed information from parents about children's care needs. This helps staff get to know children well. Staff work together with parents and the school to ensure they meet the children's needs and help them to settle well. Club staff collect the youngest children from their class teacher at the end of the school day and pass on information to parents. Staff promote children's health well. Children have opportunities to play physical games indoors and outdoors. They have the freedom to be active or play quietly and relax after a busy day at school.
