Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff understand the procedures for reporting concerns or allegations. There are good recruitment and vetting procedures that help the managers to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff receive a thorough induction which helps them to have a good understanding of their roles. Staff attend regular team meetings and have opportunities for training, support and coaching to help them extend their skills and knowledge further. Self-evaluation procedures take into account the views of the staff, children and parents. This helps to identify areas of the club to develop further. Parents are happy and find the staff approachable and friendly. Staff keep them up to date about children's activities. For example, they provide regular reports and speak to parents daily.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff generally organise the club well and provide a range of resources that takes into account the different ages of children. Children are confident and freely use their imaginative skills in role play. For example, they create pretend libraries and travel agents in the quieter side room. Staff provide spaces for children to relax and opportunities for them to be creative in the arts and craft area. Children enjoy making models and having their work displayed. Staff talk to children about what they are doing and show genuine interest. They work in close partnership with the school's teachers, which helps them to understand what children are doing at school and consolidate their learning further to support their individual needs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and confident, and have close relationships with staff. Staff support children's good health and well-being effectively. For example, they encourage children to wash their hands regularly and provide a selection of healthy snacks. Staff interact well with the children and offer lots of praise and encouragement for their efforts. Children have strong social skills. They are willing to share, take turns and play cooperatively. This helps them to form meaningful friendships and supports their emotional well-being. Older and younger children play harmoniously together. Staff are positive role models and children are well behaved. Staff provide good opportunities for children to build on their physical skills. Children access outdoor play daily. They enjoy playing a variety of ball games, such as football and tennis, and build dens and shelters in the garden area.
