They are knowledgeable about different forms of abuse and they know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about children. The provider follows safe recruitment and vetting procedures to help ensure all staff are suitable to care for children. The staff carry out thorough safety checks and ensure that potential hazards are promptly identified and effectively minimised. The management team demonstrates a strong drive and commitment to ensuring that a good standard of care is provided for children. The views of staff, parents and children are taken into account when evaluating the quality of the provision. Well-focused improvement plans are implemented to drive forward changes.

children are reluctant to leave when they arrive to take them home.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have a good knowledge and understanding of how to complement children's learning through play. Children develop their creative and imaginative skills as they explore a range of creative resources and enjoy role play. There is much laughter and great teamwork between children as they create pizza from play dough and happily discuss their favourite toppings. Children develop a growing awareness of information technology, for example, by using applications on a computer and by playing games against each other on a console. Children take turns when playing and follow instructions. Staff use play opportunities well to engage with children. For example, they ask questions and introduce mathematical concepts and new vocabulary. Children learn about the world around them in different ways, including the celebration of festivals.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know the children well and interact positively with them. Children are confident to ask for help or to express their views. Children freely talk with adults and visitors. Younger children are self-assured in their interaction with older children. Children comment that they have lots of fun at the club, they can play with their school friends and choose what they play with. The mealtime is well managed and provides a relaxing opportunity for children to talk about and reflect on their day in school. Children's health and well-being are given high priority. They enjoy healthy meals and are encouraged to help themselves to drinks of water to keep themselves hydrated. Children have plenty of opportunity to use the school playground to be energetic. They are enthusiastic as they take part in team games, such as football. Staff are vigilant about the whereabouts of children. They deploy themselves appropriately to ensure children's well-being. Children learn to follow club rules
