This provision is good

 Good partnerships with the host school help staff to support children very well. The regular exchange of information enables staff to plan activities that match children's interests and complement the learning that takes place in school.  The environment is well organised and a good choice of toys and resources are available to suit all ages of children. This enables children to make choices in their play.  Parents are happy with the service offered by the club. They speak highly of the staff and the opportunities on offer to their children. They express that their children love attending and they feel that they are cared for in a safe and stimulating environment.  The provider and manager actively seek advice and guidance from the local authority and have implemented effective action plans to help address all actions set at the previous inspection.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Several improvements have been made since the last inspection. The provider understands her responsibility to inform Ofsted about changes to the club, such as a new manager. She has implemented a clear management structure, including a named deputy who is able to take charge in the manager's absence. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff working at the club have been subject to robust recruitment checks, including obtaining a Disclosure and Barring Service check. The provider ensures that there is always a person available who holds a current paediatric first-aid qualification and records are easily accessible for inspection. All staff are aware of their role and responsibility to protect the children in their care. They are aware of the possible signs and symptoms of abuse and neglect. Managers and staff understand the procedure to follow in the event an allegation being made about a member of staff. Staff now receive

regular supervision meetings with managers, which gives them the opportunity to reflect on their role. They access ongoing training which helps to improve upon their knowledge and skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are happy to arrive at the club after a busy day at school. They are confident to talk in group situations and eagerly share information about their day at school. Staff show a genuine interest and listen to their opinions and interests. Children happily work well together. For example, older children help younger children during painting activities to choose which coloured paper they would like to use to make a print of their picture. Children of different ages join together to play a game of football in the school hall. Staff take an active role in children's play experiences. They join in with their games and help to keep score. Children have a learning journal which contains photographs and examples of their work. These are shared with parents, so that they know what their children are doing at the club. Staff support children with homework from school. They listen to children reading and sit with them at the homework table while they complete other work.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff collect the children from their classrooms at the end of the school day. They talk to the teachers about the children's day and record any messages from teachers that need to be passed onto the parents. Children's behaviour is good. They learn to share, take turns and play happily together. Staff involve children in creating the rules of the club. They offer them gentle reminders and praise them for their good behaviour. Every child is allocated a key person. They provide support to children and their parents when children are new to the club and on an ongoing basis. This helps children to feel emotionally secure in the setting. Children are encouraged to be independent and take care of their own needs. They confidently hang up their belongings on their pegs before entering the club. Children's health is promoted well. They are offered a range of healthy and nutritious snacks that accommodate children's individual dietary needs and preferences.
