Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leaders have created a culture of vigilance to identify and address concerns relating to children's welfare. Safeguarding is effective. Staff are knowledgeable about child protection issues and confident in their role and responsibilities to report concerns. Staff work well in partnership with local schools and settings. They share information, which helps to provide continuity of approach for all children attending. Leaders engage in regular evaluations of the quality of the setting and have a sharp focus on meeting the needs of the local community. Children are kept safe from harm. Staff have a good understanding of the importance of risk assessment procedures. They are able to identify and minimise potential hazards in the indoor and outdoor areas.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time at the club. Younger children readily engage in a range of activities that build on what they already know or like to do. Staff provide opportunities for children to be creative with paint and other materials. Children are encouraged to follow their own ideas, overall, and produce their own representation of a flower to display on the wall. Staff observe children and use information gathered from their All about me forms to get to know what children can do and what they enjoy. They also gather this information from other local settings. As a result, children remain engaged in meaningful and interesting activities throughout the session. Children particularly enjoy play in the outdoor area. They explore sand and water and develop their physical skills; they enjoy using ride-on toys, such as bikes. Staff join in with children, helping them to sound out words in familiar books or during ball games in the outdoor areas.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children feel confident and safe within the club. Leaders have implemented rigorous procedures to transport children safely from local settings to the club. Children respond well to instructions and rules. They behave very well as they play alongside their peers and access a range of resources. Children are provided with healthy, nutritionally balanced snacks. They are encouraged to prepare these themselves where possible. Children follow hygiene routines and show an understanding of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they wait for another child to ride down the ramp before they do. The rooms used by the club are well presented and organised. Children of all ages can access a range of activities and resources without adult support. Children are encouraged to be polite and respectful towards others. They have good manners and take turns well.
