Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their responsibilities and the procedures for protecting children. They are deployed well and children are supervised effectively. The manager and staff team work well together. They show a commitment to continuous improvement to enhance future learning opportunities for children. Staff are encouraged to access opportunities for professional development. Partnerships with parents are good. Staff provide parents with verbal feedback on a daily basis. This keeps them informed about their children's activities, achievements and welfare. Parents spoken to on the day comment that they are happy with the service provided and their children enjoy attending the club. The manager has developed good links with the host primary school. This contributes well to meeting the individual needs of all children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their qualifications well to provide a variety of resources and activities that children of different ages and abilities enjoy. The indoor and outdoor environments are well organised. This enables children to play and relax after a day at school. Children take the lead in organising their own activities, which motivates them to be fully engaged and involved. For example, children concentrate well as they join together to play various card and board games. They enjoy using small-world resources and build and connect using a variety of construction materials. Children play cooperatively and learn to take turns. Older children often help younger children with activities. Staff involvement in activities is respectful. They interact well with children, engaging them in conversations. Children are encouraged to express their own thoughts and ideas and to talk about their experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff work with parents and teachers to promote positive settling-in procedures. These support children to develop confidence when first joining the club and help parents to know expectations. Children learn to be safe. They wash their hands before handling food. They listen carefully when staff talk about the outdoor area and discuss the various areas they may or may not use. Staff encourage children to behave well and to develop respect for others. Children listen well, show good manners and help others willingly. Children contribute to the planning of activities, which they become quickly absorbed in for long periods. Children engage in an excellent range of activities outdoors, accessing beanbags and bats and balls. They also use skipping ropes, hoops and elastic for skipping.
