This provision is good

 Since the last inspection, the manager has improved the self-evaluation process so that it is meaningful and purposeful. Staff, parents and children contribute their views which are valued and respected.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The setting is effectively led by an experienced and well-qualified management team. They provide a safe and secure environment in which children thrive. The manager regularly reviews the activities available to children to ensure their interests are reflected and needs are well met. This helps to build children's confidence and self-esteem. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recruitment processes are robust. All staff have undergone a Disclosure and Barring Service check. They are aware of the importance of informing the management team of any changes to their ongoing suitability to work with children. This helps to keep children safe from harm and protects their welfare. The manager regularly reviews staff practice within the club, identifying their strengths and areas for further improvement. Staff benefit from regular discussions and meetings with the manager to review their practice and overall effectiveness in the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The knowledgeable and qualified staff team provides children with stimulating and interesting activities that help complement the learning children experience at school. Staff work in various roles within the school and have continued access to children's development records. They effectively use what they know about children to provide worthwhile play opportunities and focused activities that interest children. Children apply what they have learnt at school well as they explore a range of activities. For example, children express their developing creativity during craft activities. They use tools effectively to design and make various art pieces. Children benefit from following staff's guidance to help them develop new skills. Younger children enjoy threading activities where they measure, solve problems and enhance their concentration skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff team has warm relationships with children. An effective key-person system ensures that children's individual needs are met and they are valued and respected. Staff encourage children to work cooperatively together during their games. Children demonstrate positive behaviour. They are keen to help each other and demonstrate friendly behaviour. For example, older children encourage much younger children to join in with their games and this helps them to develop a secure sense of belonging. Children are very familiar with the environment and they enjoy the freedom of moving between areas within the school. The staff team works cohesively to keep children safe from harm. For example, staff ensure children are well supervised in all areas of the school. They carry out daily risk assessments to promote children's safety and welfare. A suitable number of staff are first-aid trained and they respond to accidents effectively.
