This provision is good

 Partnerships with parents are good. Staff communicate effectively and regularly exchange information with parents about children's activities and interests. Parents are complimentary about the service provided and say their children are happy to attend.  Strong links have been established with the host school. Staff keep up to date with themes and topics that children are learning about in school and plan activities to complement and continue these experiences.  Staff understand how children learn through play and the need for them to relax after a busy day at school. They provide high quality play opportunities that help children relax, make friends and develop the skills needed for school and future life.  Children enjoy warm and friendly interactions with staff which help them to feel safe and secure. Children are very well behaved, respond well to staff and play cooperatively together.

p.1

It is not yet outstanding because:

 Although children are involved in some decisions made in the club, they are not routinely involved in the self-evaluation processes.  Children are encouraged to carry out simple risk assessments at the start of each session, however, staff do not make the most of this activity to help children gain a deeper and broader understanding of hazards and ways to keep themselves safe.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff team have a good knowledge of the signs and symptoms which may indicate that a child is at risk of abuse. They are clear about the procedures for reporting any safeguarding concerns. Staff are vigilant and supervise the children well. They deploy themselves appropriately to ensure children's safety. Recruitment and induction procedures are strong and help to ensure all staff are suitable to work with children, underpinning the good provision for children's welfare. Regular supervision meetings and ongoing professional development help staff update their skills to support them in their role in the club. The manager uses self-evaluation to recognise current strengths and areas for future development. This helps to ensure the setting is continually improving and enables staff to provide the best possible service for children and parents.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are keen and enthusiastic learners who thoroughly enjoy their time at this welcoming club. They have lots of opportunities to explore activities independently and staff skilfully help them when appropriate. Children enjoy using the computer to research information, such as how to make healthy hot dogs. They are praised for their achievements, which motivates them to persevere and try harder. Staff use what they know about children's skills to plan activities and experiences. For example, children learn about Chinese New Year. Through this they have fun forming letters and numbers in powder paint. Staff encourage the children to compare the difference between Chinese and English text. This helps to consolidate children's developing literacy skills and their awareness of the world around them. Staff have strong relationships with the host school. They have regular discussions with the school staff to find out about children's

achievements. Staff use the information they gain to plan activities which complement and consolidate what the children are learning at school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and excited when they arrive at the club. They settle well and follow a familiar routine. Children relate confidently to all of the staff and ask any of them for help or support when they are playing. Staff encourage children to be independent. For example, children take responsibility for organising their personal belongings when they arrive at the club. Children are extremely well behaved. They are polite, well mannered and confident. Children show respect for other people's opinions and ideas. Children take turns to talk about their day, showing interest when others speak. They develop a good understanding of healthy living. Staff regularly talk to children about the importance of regular exercise, good hygiene and healthy eating. Children are provided with very healthy snacks and have plenty of opportunities to be physically active. They enjoy sitting together at teatime, this is a sociable time when they decide what they would like to eat and talk

with their friends. Children comment on how much they enjoy their time in the club. They say that they look forward to spending time with their friends. Inspection report: Jack In The Box after School at Rosa Street Primary School, 30 January 2017 4 of 5
