p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff complete daily checks of the environment and take appropriate steps to minimise potential risk to children. Staff can recognise the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and know who to contact should they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Overall, the manager evaluates the quality of provision, considering the views of staff and children who attend the setting. Regular supervision meetings are used to monitor staff performance and identify future training needs. This helps to ensure staff keep up to date and develop their skills further. Good links with the host school enables staff to attend a range of professional development opportunities. Staff are effectively supported in their role. The manager observes them as they play alongside children and offers advice and support, in order to improve their practice further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a range of activities and encourage children to make independent choices as they choose their own toys and resources. Effective communication with teachers in school ensures staff have a good understanding of what children are currently learning. Staff observe children and share any significant observations with teachers in school. This also enables staff to plan activities and opportunities which complement children's learning. Staff talk to children about what they are doing. They ask questions and pose problems in order to extend their learning further. They sit with children and demonstrate how to use resources. Staff support children to solve problems, such as how to plait dough, and help children to spell correctly as they write. Children of all ages support each other as they play outdoors. They are effectively taught to be mindful of their own and each other's safety as they play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children play confidently with each other and staff. They enjoy talking to staff about their school day and are effectively supported to make decisions about what they would like to do at the club. Staff support children's independence well. For example, they encourage children to pour their own drinks and serve themselves from a range of healthy snack options. Staff are good role models and manage children's behaviour consistently, using strategies which are also used in school. This means children are very clear about the staff's expectations and behave well. Staff work with parents to gather information about their child. This ensures children receive sensitive support in order to help them settle and make new friends. Regular opportunities for staff to talk with parents mean parents are kept well informed of things which affect their child. Staff encourage children to adopt healthy lifestyles. They offer a wide range of healthy snacks and ensure that good hygiene
