This provision is good

 There is a strong leadership team in place and staff are well qualified. Several staff have additional qualifications related to sports coaching. They use their skills very well to ensure children have fun at the club. The staff team works together well to provide good-quality care for children.  Staff support children's emotional well-being well. An effective key-person system is in place to support younger children in making close bonds with staff and their peers.  Children behave well and they understand how to respect each other's feelings. Good discussions from staff help children to recall appropriate rules of the setting and how to keep safe during the day.  Younger children enjoy their time at the club. They join in with games and sit alongside older children, confidently joining in with their discussions. Older children say that they like making new friends and that they love coming to the club.

p.3

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good understanding of their role and responsibility to keep children safe. They know what action to take if they are concerned about children's welfare. Staff attend regular training to ensure that they are aware of current legislation. They are vigilant and supervise children very well at all times without jeopardising their independence or making them fearful. Robust recruitment and an effective induction procedure are followed. Staff attend supervisory meetings to discuss training needs. The provider encourages staff to carry out continuous professional development; for example, qualifications related to working with primary school-aged children to help staff build on their skills. This has a positive impact on the quality of the interactions that children enjoy during their time at the club. Staff provide parents and children with questionnaires which contribute to the self-evaluation process. This helps to

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff warmly welcome children to the club. Children confidently join in with the variety of activities set out for them, such as table-top games and construction. During group times, staff provide information about what is on offer during the day. They promote children's confidence well, such as providing consistent praise and rewards for specific tasks. For example, medals, cups and certificates are awarded every week. This further promotes children's self-esteem. Children gain a wide range of skills to support their learning at school, such as designing creative items and solving problems they encounter. Staff offer support and guidance as necessary. They listen to children's ideas and ask questions to extend their thoughts and communication skills.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children arrive happily at the club. New children are provided with a buddy to help them become familiar with the routine. Staff promote children's good health. For example, children are reminded to drink water regularly so that they do not become too hot during physical activity, such as ball games. Staff are aware of children's allergies and dietary needs and ensure that their lunchboxes are stored safely. Staff encourage children to introduce themselves to the group and they discuss their favourite food. This is one example of how staff build positive relationships with children to help them to feel a sense of belonging in the club. Staff promote children's safety at all times. They provide children with a wide range of opportunities to practise their physical skills. For example, they help them to enjoy team games and sport activities.
