Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have a secure knowledge of safeguarding and are familiar with the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child. The management team has rigorous procedures in place to check that staff are suitable to work with children. They ensure that staff carry out effective risk assessments to help protect children's safety and well-being. The provider regularly supports staff and identifies areas for further development to enhance their professional practice and children's experiences. Children benefit from the support of a well-qualified and experienced staff team. The management team and staff regularly review the effectiveness of activities together to help provide a stimulating environment for all children. Staff work well with parents and share information with them effectively to provide continuity in children's care. Parents are happy about the quality of provision and

the range of experiences their children engage in.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan activities for children using a range of topics and following children's abilities as well as their current interests. For example, they follow children's interest in nature and arrange activities such as moulding bird baths and making bird houses and feeders. Staff never rush the children. They enable them to finish their games in their own time. They encourage children to have a go at activities and praise them for their achievements, to help support their confidence, motivation and enjoyment. Children enjoy drawing, painting and making marks on the board. They create train tracks and play with a range of construction resources. Children enjoy a cosy book corner, where they read the books by themselves or with staff. Children are always busy and engaged in activities. Children choose from a range of resources that encourage their interests.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and enjoy their time at the club. Staff ensure that children understand the need to keep themselves healthy. Children engage in many activities to keep active. For example, as children play, staff show them how to spin the hoops around their waists and how to balance on the stepping stones. Children enjoy playing a range of ball games, including football. Staff keep children safe indoors and outdoors. For example, staff make sure that they can communicate easily with other staff as they move with children around different areas of the premises, to ensure extra safety and security. Staff are consistent with their approach and, when necessary, they remind children of the rules of the club to stay safe. Children are kind and respectful to one another. Older children help younger ones to make good relationships with staff and their friends.
