This provision is good

 The club has developed an excellent partnership with the host school; the provider and manager attend regular meetings with staff there to share relevant information. This helps to promote a consistent approach to supporting children. For example, the club provides activities that complement the school's current themes.  Children are secure and comfortable in the club. They confidently speak in large group activities. They are highly independent and choose what they would like to do.  Children enjoy the wide range of activities that is provided. They play cooperatively, are respectful towards each other and behave well.  The provider and manager regularly evaluate the quality of provision and they are committed to improving the environment and the range of experiences for the children. They use the views of the parents, children and staff to support them to identify and address areas for improvement.

 Partnerships with parents are good and help staff to meet children's needs. Parents speak highly of the club; they state they are very happy with the care as they know their children enjoy their time at the club and they value the service.

Inspection activities

 The inspector viewed all areas of the premises used by the children.  The inspector held a meeting with the management team.  The inspector spoke to parents, children and staff during the inspection and took account of their views.  The inspector looked at relevant documentation, such as the setting's safeguarding procedures and evidence of suitability of staff working at the club.  The inspector observed children's activities indoors and outdoors.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff and management have a good understanding of child protection issues and know the procedure to follow should they have any concerns. The manager completes in-depth risk assessments and reviews these regularly to keep children safe. Procedures for the arrival and departure of the children are effective. The children are involved in regular fire procedures and know what to do in case of an emergency. Staff attend mandatory training, including first aid and safeguarding, which helps to keep children safe. The manager monitors staff effectively and supports their professional development. For example, annual appraisals are revisited regularly throughout the year to ensure targets are being met. The provider has a robust recruitment and vetting procedure, which helps to ensure that staff are suitable to care for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are happy and eager as they arrive at the club. They quickly put away their belongings to sit on the carpet to engage in conversations about their school day and weekend activities. Staff listen attentively to children's ideas and incorporate these into the club's planning, which helps to develop children's independence and confidence. There is a range of stimulating activities for the children to choose from. They have the opportunity to take part in creative activities and find out about the wider world and different cultures. For example they use paint to create flags from different countries, talk about foreign foods they have tried and discuss their favourite places.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle very quickly into the club, which helps them to form secure attachments. They benefit from the effective key-person system which means they receive support from familiar adults. Staff are friendly and caring. They speak to the children respectfully and offer a generous amount of praise and encouragement. Children have excellent opportunities to be active in the spacious school playground and staff successfully promote children's physical skills. For example they play rounders, climb on the large apparatus and play ball games. Children understand the club rules and know what is expected of them. They willingly tidy up the resources they have played with and clear away their plates and cups after snack time. Children take part in healthy competition, as they challenge each other to skip longer. This motivates them very well and they enjoy sharing their achievements. Children thoroughly enjoy the club and particularly like the

extra time they get to spend with their friends.
