 Children do not have enough opportunities to strengthen their understanding of diversity and disability in the community or the wider world.  Staff do not consistently provide enough opportunities to help children develop an understanding of the benefits of healthy eating.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a clear understanding of the steps to take should they suspect a child is at risk of harm. They are confident in their responsibility to report any child protection concerns to appropriate authorities. All staff receive training in child protection to help sustain their understanding. There are robust recruitment, vetting and induction arrangements that help the provider to ensure staff are suitable for their role. Clear and robust risk assessments are used to highlight hazards and positive steps are taken to minimise these. Staff have appropriate training and support for their role. The provider monitors staff's skills well and identifies further training to help improve their practice. Strong links with the host school help staff to effectively share information about children's care and welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified. They welcome the children with enthusiasm into the club after their school day. They plan a wide range of activities to ensure children can play in a fun and child-centred environment, both inside and outside. All activities complement and extend the learning that takes place at school as well as support children's interests. This helps children to continue to develop the skills they need for future learning. Children are confident speakers and converse easily with visitors about their interests and how much they enjoy the club. Staff take an interest in what children have to say, motivating them to talk more. Staff interact effectively, helping children to think through ideas and promote their imaginative play. For example, children play with dinosaurs and talk to staff about the characteristics of the creatures. They start to build a dinosaur world. Staff provide materials and make suggestions to help build on their imagination and play. Children have

opportunities to enhance their creative skills as they explore a range of craft resources. For example, they use sticks to create a stick family and thoroughly enjoy using dough to create figures and shapes. Staff use this activity well and encourage children to talk about their families and own experiences.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and enjoy attending the club. Staff have close relationships with children. They enjoy each other's company, having fun together and sharing experiences. Children's confidence and self-esteem are promoted through the praise and encouragement they receive from staff. Children of all ages play well together. Staff encourage children to contribute to the planning of activities. This helps the children gain a sense of belonging and to feel valued. Children make lots of decisions about what they do. They thoroughly enjoy being active and participate in many interactive games and activities. Staff promote children's independence skills effectively. Children know about good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, and help themselves to the snack and drinks that are on offer. Staff provide many opportunities for children to learn about keeping themselves safe. For example, children learn about the dangers associated with

strangers and they practise road safety skills on outings. The move from the other settings children attend runs smoothly. Staff speak to teachers and parents to help children during times of change.
