Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The management team ensures that staff complete regular safeguarding training and know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. The management team undertakes thorough risk assessments and rigorous recruitment and induction processes to help keep children safe. Leaders have effective systems in place for self-evaluation. The management team monitors the programme of events well to provide children with a good range of experiences. Leaders encourage staff to attend training that supports them in their role. Positive relationships with parents and teachers in the school help staff to develop a good knowledge of each child and their needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff set up a good range of activities for children to choose from when they arrive at the club that complement children's learning in school. For example, children enjoy opportunities to develop their writing skills further. Children respond excitedly to a range of activities such as splatter painting, construction and exploring dough. Staff provide children with lots of opportunities to have fun. For example, children enjoy exercise outdoors to support their physical development and good health. Staff join in with their games and support children to gain a variety of skills, such as coordination when they throw and kick balls. Children become confident and develop good skills for future learning.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff provide a welcoming and inviting environment. They get to know children well and help them to feel valued and to develop a sense of belonging. For example, staff greet children warmly when they arrive. The caring and attentive staff are good role models for children. They support children to respect and value each other's similarities and differences through a range of activities. For example, they help children learn about other cultures. Staff listen carefully to what children have to say and respect their views. Children behave well; both older and younger children play cooperatively. Staff support children to understand how to stay safe. For example, children learn how to use knives sensibly at snack time. Children enjoy sitting together to eat nutritious snacks and improve their social skills. Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club.
