This provision is good

 Children's independence is promoted well. They are aware of the rules and expectations and manage risks independently for their age. For example, older children are allowed to explore the wider outdoor learning environment and respond to signals staff use to gain their attention.  Relationships between staff and children are strong. Some of the staff in the club also work in the host school. This provides children with consistency of care and supports children's emotional well-being. Staff place a strong emphasis on developing children's personal, social and emotional skills. They give plenty of praise to children during activities, supporting their good self-esteem.  Partnerships with the host school are strong. Staff work closely with class teachers. Two-way communication regarding children's learning and achievements are shared daily. As a result, staff have a good understanding of children's level of attainment and

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of safeguarding concerns and know who to contact if they have a concern about a child's welfare. Staff work closely with the host school. Joint safeguarding policies and procedures ensure consistency in keeping children safe and protected from harm. Staff have regular opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills through continuing professional development. Training sessions are completed in conjunction with the host school. The manager is a positive role model for staff so that staff practice continues to be good. Children complete questionnaires to support staff to provide a range of learning opportunities that they want to engage in. Information regarding children's learning at the club is shared with parents and class teachers to ensure consistency. Risk assessments of the indoor and outdoor areas are conducted by staff. This helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children confidently choose from the range of activities on offer. There is a good range of resources and children access the outdoor environment for the majority of each session. This helps to support their health and physical skills. Children have access to a forest area where they can explore and learn about nature. Staff ensure that children are motivated and engaged in activities. They deploy themselves effectively to monitor children's play and offer support when needed. Staff challenge children's thinking through a good range of questioning. Children are given time to take part in self-chosen play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff motivate children. They make good use of equipment and offer plenty of praise and encouragement to help children to develop their play over time. Children take manageable risks in their play. They enjoy playing games with their friends in the indoor and outdoor areas. Children are well behaved and respectful towards others. For example, children wait patiently for the different toppings to be passed to them when making pizzas for tea. Older children enjoy helping younger children to develop new skills. For example, they encourage and motivate them to try and score a basket in the basketball hoop. Staff create a friendly atmosphere and place a strong focus on having fun. Children pour their own drinks, manage their personal hygiene needs independently and are involved in food preparation. Children are provided with healthy foods and play an active role in planning future menus.
