p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The supervisor ensures that all staff are aware of the procedures to follow should they have a concern for a child's safety. The provider carries out robust vetting and recruitment procedures to help ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. She ensures that staff make rigorous ongoing risk assessments to keep children safe in the setting. The provider has robust policies and procedures, which she shares with parents and that staff implement to guide their practice. The supervisor reflects on practice and values the input and suggestions from parents and children. She uses this information to make positive changes. For example, she varies the resources and activities based on children's interests. The provider encourages staff to attend training courses and to share their new knowledge at team meetings so that all staff and children benefit.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff collect detailed information from parents when children first start at the club. They use what they learn about each child to plan for their interests. Staff encourage children to share their ideas for activities, and children confidently contribute their thoughts. Children are happy and relaxed, and enjoy their time at the club. They say it is, 'Fun and really good'. Staff plan varied and interesting activities that children enjoy. Children take part in various imaginative games; for example, they pretend to be puppies and extend their play using hoops and balls. Staff encourage children to talk about their experiences; for example, they have lively conversations with staff about eating chips on the beach in Australia.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children arrive happily at the club and settle quickly and comfortably into the routine. Staff welcome children enthusiastically; children all have a key person who knows their needs very well. Staff help children to develop a range of practical skills and encourage them to be independent. Children wash their hands before serving their meals. They choose from a variety of healthy foods, such as fruits and wraps, and tidy away when they have finished. Staff provide plentiful opportunities for children to be outdoors. Children benefit from lots of physical challenge, for example, they play football and confidently ride bicycles. Children talk about the safety of others, explaining not to, 'crash into people, just whizz around.'
