 The manager and staff engage in children's activities.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff have a good understanding of their responsibility to keep children safe. They complete training and understand procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Staff are vigilant about children's safety. For example, they carry out regular risk assessments and practise emergency evacuation procedures with the children. Thorough recruitment and vetting procedures are followed to check the suitability of staff. The manager and the staff team work well together. They meet regularly to discuss the effectiveness of the club and to plan a variety of activities based on children's interests. The manager uses effective systems to monitor staff practice. For example, regular monitoring and guidance identifies any staff training needs and supports their professional development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time at the club and join in enthusiastically with activities provided. For example, children work well together as they share materials and help each other to create potions. Staff are skilful in their interactions with children. They know when to intervene to help extend children's enjoyment in activities. For example, staff ask questions to encourage children to think, describe and explain their own ideas. Children thrive in the outdoor areas as they develop their large muscle skills. They run, balance, climb, and play ball games. Staff provide activities indoors to further enhance children's physical skills. For example, children use their large muscle skills and coordination to make dens. Children use chalks and pencils to draw and write their name.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and build positive relationships with staff and each other. They are confident with the routine of the club. Staff work closely with parents to gather information for when children first start attending, which helps staff to make children feel secure. Staff are positive role models. For example, they teach children to respect each other and they praise them for good manners and for being kind and considerate. Staff listen carefully to children and respond positively to their ideas and suggestions. This helps children to feel valued and to develop a sense of belonging. Children behave very well. They have a clear understanding of expectations at the club and know how to keep themselves safe. Children's good health is supported well. For example, they engage in a range of physical activities outdoors. Children enjoy healthy snacks and serve drinks themselves.
