This provision is good

 Children thoroughly enjoy themselves at the setting. Staff promote a child-led approach to support children's interests. The club provides independent choices for children to play and relax after a school day.  The manager makes good use of feedback from staff, children and parents to reflect and make continual improvements.  Children and parents form positive relationships with staff. Some staff have been at the club for a long time and know children and their families very well. They regularly share information to support children's well-being and development.  Partnerships with teachers in the host school are strong. Regular communication helps staff to identify children who need extra support or challenge in their play. Some staff also work in the school and use the planning topics from teachers as a way to complement children's learning.  Staff implement an effective key-person system and develop a good rapport with

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff demonstrate a good understanding of how to keep children safe from harm. They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. Robust recruitment and induction procedures are implemented to ensure the suitability of all staff to work with children. Regular risk assessments and safety checks are completed indoors and outdoors. Staff deploy themselves effectively to supervise children in the different play areas. Children benefit from the skills and knowledge staff have gained through their relevant qualifications and experience. They access core training regularly. For example, all staff have completed first aid. This means any accidents can be swiftly attended to. Parents speak highly of the setting. They praise how the friendly staff nurture children and show genuine care for them.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff encourage children's independence to lead their play based on what they enjoy. The child-centred environment helps children feel valued and develop a sense of belonging. Staff also plan activities which match children's interests and topics they are learning at school. For example, children confidently make moving paper snowmen, building on the school topic of winter. Staff provide clear step-by-step instructions for children to follow. Children choose the colours and materials they wish to use to decorate their designs. Staff talk to children about what they are doing and engage them well in conversations. Children play a range of games, such as the table top pool and table football. They demonstrate good teamwork and negotiation. Children have good opportunities to learn new skills. For example, staff plan regular sewing and baking sessions. These help children to develop their coordination and thinking skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well behaved. They demonstrate good manners and follow the good example of the staff. Furthermore, children follow the club rules and routines well. Staff build on topics children learn at school to help strengthen their understanding of safety. For example, cyber safety and bullying posters are used to discuss positive behaviour and keeping themselves safe. Children have created displays of what they think makes a good friend. This further supports their understanding of positive relationships and the importance of respecting each other. Children's comments about the club are positive. They say they like spending time with their friends, playing football, and talking to staff who always make time for them. Children's views are actively sought out by staff. Children's health and well-being are supported effectively by staff. Children enjoy a range of healthy snacks and appreciate playing outdoors. Staff monitor and support children to

follow good hygiene practices. They are given healthy choices of soup, fresh fruit and vegetables. Staff help children to remain safe. They remind them of the risks in planned activities, such as the correct way of handling scissors. Children enjoy their time outdoors, where they have plenty of space to be physically active. For example, staff organise football and hockey games with children.
