p.1

This provision is good

 The provider and supervisor evaluate the quality of the provision effectively to bring about improvement. They seek feedback from staff, parents and children and implement suggestions to further improve outcomes for children.  Children take part in a wide range of activities. Caring and supportive staff help children to feel welcome and to relax after a busy school day. Staff help children to settle and to form close friendships.  Staff are good role models to children and demonstrate the expectations of how to behave cooperatively and respectfully towards each other.  There are strong partnerships with the host school that children attend. Staff plan a good range of activities that complements children's learning at school in discussion with school staff.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The qualified staff team meets children's individual needs well. The provider monitors staff's performance effectively to support their professional development. For example, staff attend training and regular meetings to discuss and develop their knowledge and practice. This has a positive impact on the quality of experiences offered. Employment procedures are robust to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe and they attend regular child protection training. They are confident in the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare, including when children do not attend. Staff carry out robust risk assessments in all areas of the environment. Staff establish good partnerships with parents. For example, staff obtain valuable information about children's allergies and cultures to help them meet their individual needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff take the time to get to know children when they start at the club. For example, children complete booklets which hold information about their interests and dislikes. This helps children to feel listened to and valued, and helps staff to plan appropriate activities. For example, children showed a keen interest in box making, so staff planned creative art activities to support this. Children show enthusiasm and are fully occupied, making their own play decisions during their time at the club. For example, they excitedly paint, build with bricks and create keepsakes using wool and lolly sticks. Staff support children's ongoing communication skills well. For example, staff engage children and have good- quality discussions with them. They seek out and encourage children to share their opinions and experiences. Staff set out the environment so children can read books, chat to their friends or complete homework in the quiet area.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. Staff speak to the children calmly and with respect and praise them for their achievements. For example, children enjoy receiving stickers as recognition of positive behaviour. Staff provide a positive and inclusive environment where children can have fun. They provide good opportunities for children to develop their physical skills and learn the importance of healthy lifestyles. For example, children participate in daily games outdoors. Children learn about healthy eating and the importance of good hygiene. For example, they enjoy foods that reflect a healthy, balanced diet and know to wash their hands before eating.
