p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Staff monitor children's safety well. For example, they use clear explanations and ensure that children learn to understand potential hazards. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are aware of the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The manager works together with staff to provide support and to evaluate the service they provide. They have a clear focus on priorities to improve outcomes for children. For example, the new log cabin provides children with more opportunities to relax and enjoy some quiet time after their busy day at school. Staff develop their skills and knowledge, for example, through appropriate training. They use their knowledge and ensure the service continues to meet the needs of children and families in the local communities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are enthusiastic and interact well with children. They complement children's learning at school in enjoyable and exciting ways. Children strengthen their physical skills. For example, they enjoy playing ball games and make good use of the playground equipment. Staff support children's language and communication skills well. For example, they engage children in meaningful conversations and take the time to talk to them about their day. Children explore a variety of celebrations and customs and talk about their own experiences. They enjoy playing games that build on their growing mathematical skills. Younger children socialise well with their older friends. For example, they watch them perform shows with genuine enthusiasm. Children are motivated and display high levels of involvement. They gain the skills and confidence they need to continue their development and progress through the school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff gather information from parents when children first start. They ensure they plan for children's individual care and learning needs from the outset. Children arrive happily and quickly settle into the routine of the club. For example, they enjoy their healthy snack and take part in active activities indoors and outdoors. Staff provide good levels of supervision for all children to keep them safe. Outside, children work well as a team and enjoy group games. Staff encourage them to learn new skills, such as skipping, and children beam with pride at their achievements. Children develop a sense of safety appropriate to their age and understanding. For example, they practise fire drills and learn to evacuate the premises in the event of an emergency. The manager and staff have established good partnership working with the host school. For example, they share information and support continuity in children's care and education.
