Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a strong understanding of their responsibilities to protect and safeguard children. Staff undertake risk assessments daily and are vigilant in supervising children. The recruitment of staff is robust. The manager monitors staff performance and holds regular supervision meetings to discuss their practice and individual training needs. For example, all staff have attended safeguarding training to further extend their knowledge and skills. The manager builds strong links with other settings where children attend. There is well-established information sharing which positively benefits children. The manager and staff accurately evaluate the provision to raise standards.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

This is a popular club and children spend their time purposefully, enjoying a variety of stimulating activities, such as arts and crafts, cookery and physical play. Staff observe and monitor children, building on what they already know and enjoy. For example, children have fun playing with electronic devices and making butterflies using different arts and crafts materials. Staff give clear instructions and listen to children attentively, developing children's concentration and language skills. Staff support children well to learn about the world around them. For example, children enjoying singing songs in different languages, such as in Bengali and English.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Children behave exceptionally well. Staff are kind, approachable and motivating, and model positive behaviour to children. For example, children learn to manage their feelings, share and take turns during activities. Children are polite and confident to speak to visitors. They have a wonderful time in the club and are enthralled as they practise their increasing physical skills. For example, they delight in playing their favourite games, such as football. Children are extremely careful to follow rules and are sensitive to the needs of others. They are confident to move around freely and join in with activities. Staff regularly speak to parents and inform them about planned activities, which helps to complement children's learning elsewhere. Staff promote children's healthy lifestyles extremely well. For example, staff are very enthusiastic, encouraging children to take part in active play. Children enjoy healthy and nutritious meals and follow well-established hygiene routines.
