Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have a secure knowledge of the indicators of child abuse and a thorough understanding of their individual responsibilities for acting on concerns about children's welfare. Staff teach children how to manage risk and keep safe in emergencies. Children calmly take part in an unplanned fire evacuation, demonstrating that they understand the procedure and are confident in following it. The provider, manager and staff are committed to the development of the club and use self-evaluation well to help identify and address any weaknesses. Parents speak highly of the club, praising staff and commenting how much their children enjoy attending. Children say they like spending time with their friends and enjoy playing with the activities on offer.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather information from parents about children's interest and development when they first join the club. They consult children when planning activities and take their ideas into account. Staff skilfully interact with children and actively engage in their play. They encourage children to solve problems and provide games and resources for them to develop their creativity and thinking skills. Children demonstrate high levels of perseverance as they use construction materials to design and build. They concentrate for long periods of time as they play board games. Children develop a growing awareness of information technology. They competently use electronic tablets and enjoy playing games against each other on a console. Strong links have been established with the host school. Staff keep up to date with what children are learning about and plan activities to complement and continue these experiences. Staff are available to support children to

complete their homework from school if they wish to.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and enthusiastic about attending the club. They confidently move around the room, exploring the activities on offer and socialising with their friends. Children talk about their day with the staff and engage with visitors. Their independence is promoted well. Children eagerly set the dinner tables and pour their own drinks. Staff provide them with a balanced and healthy meal. Children have a good understanding of the importance of hygiene procedures and a healthy lifestyle. They relish being outdoors and being active, enthusiastically taking part in circle games and playing on wheeled toys. Staff help children to be tolerant towards those who hold different ideas and beliefs to their own. Children are kind to each other and play cooperatively together. Older children are positive role models, ensuring younger children are fully included in their conversations and games.
