Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff keep their safeguarding knowledge up to date, including through training. They are fully informed of the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child. Staff follow comprehensive policies, procedures and risk assessments to help to protect children's well-being and safety. The club has a robust system of recruitment and induction to check that all those working there are suitable to care for the children. The manager and staff meet regularly to discuss practice and staff receive good support to improve their skills. Staff's practice is evaluated through regular supervision and observations by the manager. Staff attend regular training to enhance their knowledge. The club works closely with schools that the children attend. They share relevant information to ensure children receive consistent care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff welcome the children into the setting after their school day. They plan a range of activities to ensure children can play and learn in a fun and child-centred environment. All activities complement and extend the learning that takes place at school, as well as supporting children's interests. For example, children play letter and numbers games that help strengthen their literacy and mathematical skills they are gaining in school. Staff interact well with children and encourage them to gain the skills needed for their future learning. Children enjoy making buildings out of construction materials. For example, they build 'flying houses'. These activities help to enrich their imagination. Children take part in creative activities, such as painting salt dough figures. They are supported well by staff who guide and make useful suggestions that extend the children's own ideas effectively. Children are confident speakers and converse easily with visitors about their interests and

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy their time at this club and have good relationships with staff and their friends. Staff talk to the children about their daily experiences at school. This gives children the opportunity to share any worries, concerns or achievements. Staff provide many opportunities for children to learn about keeping themselves safe. For example, children visit local centres to learn about the dangers associated with strangers and they practise road safety skills on outings. Staff promote children's good health. Children have opportunities to play physical games outdoors or play quietly and relax after a busy day at school. The outside environment provides opportunities to play a variety of games, such as football and tennis. Children understand the importance of good hygiene and help to clean tables and set up for snack and meal times. The key-person system is very effective, helping children to settle in quickly, develop confidence and build secure attachments to

the staff. The move from the other settings children attend is managed well. Staff speak to teachers and parents to help children during times of change.
