p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The provider is dedicated to providing every child with a high-quality provision. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are trained in the procedures to follow if they have any concerns about a child. Recruitment and selection is robust to ensure all staff are suitable to fulfil their roles. Staff complete mandatory training and they benefit from regular meetings and appraisals which enables them to keep up to date with current guidance and legislation. The provider and manager use self-evaluation to ensure continuous improvement across the club. They gain feedback from parents to help identify aspects of the club they can enhance further. Children are involved in making decisions about the club and the activities they want to take part in. Staff value children's ideas and take on board their feedback.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children have lots of opportunities to play, have fun and relax after a busy day at school. They engage in a good range of activities. Children take part in board games and staff join in with them to help them to understand the rules. Staff talk to children and ask them questions. They challenge them and encourage them to take the lead and make their own decisions. Children spend time drawing and writing. As children write, staff encourage them to spell out and write words and names that are familiar to them. There are appropriate arrangements in place to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff gather information about children's achievement in the club. They observe children and keep samples of their work to show the progress they make. Staff give daily feedback to parents to ensure they are kept suitably informed about the activities their children take part in.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very confident and independent. They show great respect for their environment and for the staff at the club. Children greet staff confidently and understand the routines to follow. Staff are interested in the children and encourage them to share news about their school day. Staff give positive praise to children and recognise their achievements. This helps children to develop a positive sense of themselves. Children talk to adults about how much they enjoy coming to the club and how they enjoy playing and mixing with their friends. Children benefit from a key person who gets to know them well and builds effective relationships with them and their parents. This helps to support their emotional well-being. Parent's comments are extremely positive. They comment that 'the club is wonderful' and 'the staff are fantastic'. They say 'their children love coming' and 'they are well cared for'. Children develop their independence skills and they enjoy helping
