p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are clear in their role and the procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child in their care. They are vigilant and deployed effectively and children are supervised well, both on the premises and when playing in the school playground. The manager follows good vetting procedures that ensure all staff working with children are suitable. Induction procedures ensure they develop a secure knowledge of their roles and responsibilities within the club. The manager monitors staff performance and the activities being provided for the children and teachers from the host school mentor staff every day. Staff understand their roles and responsibilities and have completed courses relevant to their role, such as child protection and first aid.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children chatter excitedly to their friends and enthusiastically tell staff about their school day and what they did during the school holidays. Staff take an active interest in what children have to say and ask questions to extend discussions and promote their language. This also builds children's self-esteem and confidence, and encourages them to feel valued and included. There is a strong emphasis on play and having fun after the rigour of the school day. Children engage in art and craft activities as they colour in pictures and mix salt dough to create medals linked to the Paralympic Games. They enjoy challenging each other as they race around the playground to see how many laps they can complete, or how many goals they can score in football. Children enjoy using their imagination in role play and they take prams with dolls outdoors or sit with friends chatting and watching their favourite television programmes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

There is a seamless transition from school to the club because staff also work in school during the day. Therefore, they work collaboratively with the teachers to meet the children's care needs and support their well-being. Staff encourage new children to settle quickly as they take the time to talk to them and ensure that they feel secure. Behaviour is good and children use their manners very well. Staff have involved children in devising the club rules and this has helped them to learn to respect each other's views. Children confidently make their own choices about what they want to play with. They move around the indoor and outdoor play areas freely finding friends to play with and activities to enjoy. Staff encourage children to learn about staying safe through daily routines and discussions. For example, children know what to do if there is a fire drill. Staff teach children about leading a healthy lifestyle through discussions on healthy eating. Children
