p.1

This provision is good

 Managers use self-evaluation well to reflect on their provision and identify the strengths and priorities for improvement for the club.  The manager and staff are very well supported by senior managers, who provide training and support. The manager attends regular meetings and effectively passes on new information to staff.  Children have fun as they play. They have an active role in the running of the club; for example, they share ideas for activities with staff.  Communication between staff, parents and the school is good. Staff share information about the children's day effectively with parents and teachers.  There are clear procedures for promoting positive behaviour, and behaviour is extremely good. For example, children take turns and older children play well with younger ones. Staff act as good role models.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff attend training to strengthen their knowledge about child protection issues. They are knowledgeable about the signs that may indicate a concern about children's welfare and understand procedures for reporting any concerns that arise. There are also good procedures for monitoring the safety of the environment. Staff work well together and make good use of their training to continually improve the quality of activities. They actively seek children's views on what they would like to do and take ideas into account when planning further activities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are motivated and are generally eager to take part in activities. They play very well in mixed age groups and older children act as good role models for the younger children. Staff have extensive knowledge on how to teach sports and provide excellent opportunities for children's physical development. Rules for games are clearly explained and children are reminded of them during activities. Staff develop good relationships with the children and children feel emotionally secure. Children who wish to complete homework receive good support.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are effective at helping children to learn to respect others. For example, they teach children about taking turns and remind them to make sure everyone has enough to eat at snack times before taking second helpings. Children are involved in drawing up rules for the club and are rewarded by staff for their efforts. For example, they are praised for joining in well, being cooperative and for helping others. Parents value the service they receive; they have regular opportunities to talk with staff and receive information in a variety of ways, such as through a newsletter.
