This provision is good

 The manager has taken effective action to address the areas for improvement reported at the last inspection.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager has worked with the local authority to review the safeguarding policy and procedure and make sure all staff have a secure understanding of what to do if they have a concern about a child. The manager has completed advanced training as the designated safeguarding officer. She monitors staff practice and uses her knowledge of safer recruitment to good effect to ensure that staff are suitable to work with children. She is developing her systems to support the new staff team, including with supervision and training opportunities to develop their skills and knowledge further. Good communication with the school means staff can identify any areas where children need more support to enable them to feel secure and valued.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The after school club provides a stimulating environment for children to play and the range of resources is extensive. In addition, consideration has been given to providing comfortable and quiet areas for children to relax at the end of the school day. Staff plan activities based on children's interests and individual needs. The activities are attractively presented including a good range of imaginative and creative resources. Staff are attentive and offer support to those children who want to complete homework including school projects. They provide inspiration for children from the many outings and trips to places of interest. As a result, children's learning in school is complemented very well. Children give time and thought to their posters about stopping bullying and caring for one another. They enjoy physical play in the hall and during outings. The staff successfully adapt activities so that the younger children can join in. The older children show an

excellent awareness in supporting and including the younger children as they turn up the music and dance and sing to their favourite songs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are sensitive to supporting children's emotional well-being to help them feel secure. As a result, children are relaxed and confident in the after-school club. Their behaviour is good and they develop strong social skills. They are caring and considerate to each other and the adults present. They learn to value and respect people's similarities and differences. Children learn about different cultures and festivals and staff listen to their views. They are able to express their thoughts and feelings by talking to staff or posting them in writing on the contribution board. Children are included in the plans for activities and outings. Daily safety checks of the premises are conducted routinely to ensure children's safety. Children know how to look after themselves and to wash their hands before eating. They sit together and enjoy a freshly cooked nutritious meal for which they give thanks and really enjoy.
