This provision is good

 Children eagerly join in the broad range of activities which reflects their interests. They develop their confidence and self-esteem well. For example, staff praise and encourage children, such as when they try new experiences.  Children are well behaved. They get on well with other children and play cooperatively. Older children help the younger ones with the routines and activities. For example, they talk enthusiastically to them and encourage younger children to take part in activities.  Children settle quickly and develop good relationships with staff. The kind and caring manager and staff provide reassurance to children and help them to feel valued and included. For example, they ensure all children are included during discussions.  The provider implements thorough recruitment and vetting procedures and involves her manager to help ensure that all staff are suitable to care for children.  The provider monitors and evaluates the provision effectively. She takes account of

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues and know the procedure to follow if they have concerns about a child in their care. The management team implements clear procedures and ensures staff know and understand these, such as recording accidents, incidents and managing children's behaviour. Staff support children's understanding of safety effectively. For example, there are regular opportunities for children to practise and learn how to keep themselves safe in an emergency. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff work effectively with other settings children attend. For example, they have developed a safe collection system with the school staff. The provider supports and guides staff effectively and helps them to develop their practice. For example, she regularly observes their practice and identifies their professional development needs. Staff continually update their skills and knowledge, such

as through training, to help develop their practice further. Partnerships with parents are good. Staff communicate with them well and provide feedback about their children's time at the club. Parents' comments highlight that their children enjoy attending the club and that staff provide a warm welcome and know children well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The manager and staff chat easily to children, encouraging them to talk about their day at school and other events in their lives. For example, they talk about the 'shooting stars' rewards they have gained at school for positive behaviour. The manager and staff understand children's needs and interests very well and take good account of these when planning activities. Children enthusiastically choose from a variety of planned and self- chosen activities and are well occupied. They happily play in the calm, relaxed and comfortable surroundings. Staff support children during their play and activities effectively, which helps to complement the learning that takes place in school. For example, during lively conversations with staff, children exchanged ideas and described what they were making.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children understand the club's rules and the staff's expectations of them, such as why not to walk around with scissors. Children are kind and considerate to others. Staff follow effective procedures to keep children safe, such as when collecting them from school. For example, children follow clear walking guidelines from school, such as holding on to a 'walking rope'. Children manage their own personal needs well and understand the expected routines, such as washing their hands before eating or cooking activities.
