This provision is good

 Staff have established excellent links with the local school and they regularly share information about the children. This helps to ensure that children's interests and individual needs are known and well met. A consistent approach is delivered in children's care and learning.  Children behave well. They form strong attachments with the staff and with each other. This helps to support their emotional well-being. Children play together, help and support each other and share equipment. They understand the club rules and follow set routines. Children thoroughly enjoy themselves.  Children understand the importance of healthy practices. They confidently and independently manage hygienic routines to prevent the spread of germs. They are provided with a well-balanced diet at snack time to promote their health.  Parents speak highly of the club. They find staff very capable and friendly. They say that the communication between the school, the club and families is good.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team ensures that all staff have undergone suitability checks and they understand their role and responsibilities. Staff have a good understanding of the procedures to follow if they have a concern regarding a child's safety and welfare. Daily safety checks are completed and more detailed risk assessments are completed for all the areas that children have access to. The security of the premises is good. Good recruitment and induction procedures ensure staff are suitable. Staff have regular supervision and training is regularly undertaken. This means that all staff constantly update their skills and knowledge.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children show curiosity as they ask who the visitors are and why they are present. They show confidence as they introduce themselves and then continue with their play. Staff show a genuine and sincere interest in the children and what they have been doing in school. They ask them questions and the children confidently respond. Children's communication and language skills are well supported. Children readily select what they would like to play with, having access to a good range of resources. Staff are deployed well to enable children to choose between indoor and outdoor play, fostering their preferences. Parents say when they arrive to collect their child, they are often invited to stay while children finish their chosen activities because they are reluctant to leave.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The experienced and well-qualified staff team works well together to meet children's needs. When children enrol in the club, staff obtain information from parents about any dietary or medical requirements. Children are allocated a key person to make sure that their individual needs are met. Their independence is supported well at snack times and through the provision of resources which they can easily access. Children of all ages chat happily together at snack time. Staff create a very relaxed and friendly environment. This contributes successfully to children being happy, confident and clearly at ease. Children have good opportunities to plan the activities they want to do and to have their ideas included in the weekly plans. They enjoy time outdoors. Staff support children as they learn how to play team games. Children have good opportunities to practise and improve their coordination skills. Staff make good use of opportunities to teach children how to

manage their own safety, as they learn about road safety on the school run.
