p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Managers are committed to providing good quality care and a safe environment for children. Safeguarding is effective. All staff have attended safeguarding training and have a good understanding of the procedure to follow should they have a concern about a child's well-being. They are vigilant and know when to take swift action to reduce any potential hazards to ensure children's safety. Staff are encouraged to develop and build on their skills, for example, they have regular supervisions and attend ongoing training to help improve the quality of their practice. The managers and staff regularly evaluate aspects of the club and provide a variety of effective opportunities for children and parents to give their feedback. For example, parents complete questionnaires and there are well- thought-out and effective systems to enable children to let staff know if they liked an activity or not.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well and obtain key information from parents before children start to help them meet individual needs and interests. Staff use this knowledge effectively and involve children in planning to provide a wide range of activities, which motivate children and complement their learning at school. For example, children develop their coordination as they use hammers and drills to make holes in polystyrene. Children express their creativity well, such as when making firework pictures or manipulating foam to make their own designs. Children have many opportunities to join in team games. They have plenty of physical exercise and make good use of the space provided. For example, children enjoy ball games; they develop a good understanding of the rules and work well as a team.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. They arrive happy and settle immediately. Staff are good role models and support children to gain a positive attitude to differences in society and support equality. Children make good use of opportunities to express their views, and staff listen closely, valuing what they have to say. For example, children comment on their favourite activities and give feedback and ideas on what they like doing at the club. Children develop good hygiene practices. For example, they explain the importance of washing hands before having a snack. Staff provide clear guidance about playing safely. For example, when playing with tools, children understand how to use them safely and not walk around with them.
