This provision is good

 The warm, welcoming staff team creates a friendly atmosphere and ensures that all children feel valued, safe and secure.  Children behave well and form friendships across the different age groups. Older children are attentive and courteous to the younger members of the group.  Children are happy, confident and comfortable in their surroundings. Staff have developed respectful, trusting relationships with children.  Children benefit from plenty of space inside and outdoors to explore resources and extend their learning.  Parents are kept well informed about the club and the manager is committed to working closely with teachers at the host school to complement children's learning.  The new manager is keen to improve standards. She has systems that involve children and parents in evaluating the service the club provides. This enables staff to make continuous improvements.

She also looked at a range of other documentation including policies and procedures.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager maintains good records that support children's health and well-being. For example, thorough risk assessments of the children's play environment help to keep them safe. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recruitment procedures are robust and all staff have suitability checks. All staff have a secure knowledge of child protection and good systems ensure they accurately follow procedures if they have any concerns about a child's welfare. Regular guidance and training days support staff's professional development. For example, recent training in teamwork activities helped staff to develop even stronger and more cohesive relationships within the team.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive from school with enthusiasm, ready to find out what there is to do. Staff give choices offering children a selection of games and activities that they have previously requested. Most children engage well in self-chosen play and enjoy the interaction and encouragement from staff as they join in their activities. For example, some children enjoy the role-play at a doctor's surgery, while others learn about body parts with a board game. Staff provide resources to support children's creativity such as making collages and brick constructions. Children learn to organise their time, negotiate with each other and take turns.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and relaxed at the club. They enjoy chatting with their friends after school in an informal atmosphere. Staff give good support and encouragement to children to learn about safety and healthy lifestyles. For example, children follow good hygiene routines and eat a range of healthy and nutritious snacks. Children behave well and show courtesy to their friends. For example, older children offer to pour water for younger members. Children enjoy outdoor games and activities such as obstacle courses as well as collecting autumn leaves for their craft work.
