Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff promote children's safety and welfare well. Staff are confident in their understanding of child protection routines and keep up to date with any changes in policy or procedures. Staff are well supported in their role; for example, they have regular meetings with the manager and they identify training needs. Staff have appropriate skills and qualifications, and there are comprehensive systems to appoint and check suitability of staff. Parents are very positive about the club and comment on how much their children enjoy themselves. Staff constantly seek the views of parents and children to inform their evaluation process; for example, they vary activities that are provided. Staff carry out daily reviews and evaluate each session to help them make continuous improvements. They use this to help ensure that children enjoy their time at the setting.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand that children learn through play. They provide a broad range of activities and opportunities that challenges and builds on children's skills and knowledge. Children and staff engage in rich conversations, helping to develop children's language skills. Children chat among themselves about their experiences at school, and they create and decorate popsicles. They use a wide selection of materials and show their creativity. Staff gather information about children's learning progress from their teachers and complement this at the club. Children take part in activities and experiences that help them understand diversity. For example, all children thoroughly enjoy singing a Nigerian welcome song and doing the traditional dance. Staff encourage them to understand and celebrate each other's differences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff join in with children's games and activities. This helps promote good social skills and extends children's enjoyment and learning. Staff are good role models. They are attentive in meeting children's needs and always take time to listen to them. Children learn to behave well and take pride in the tasks they are asked to do. Children demonstrate how they share and take turns during their play. Parents are pleased that children form secure relationships with others and develop their self-confidence. Children thoroughly enjoy being active and participate in many interactive games and activities. Children's physical health is promoted well. They enjoy fresh air and exercise when they play outside daily. Children are polite, kind and show respect towards others. Staff are deployed well within the setting and risk assessments are thorough. This helps ensure the environment, resources and activities are appropriate and safe for the children.
