p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Managers and staff have completed relevant training, including safeguarding and paediatric first aid. Staff are aware of how to identify a child who might be at risk of harm. They know what to do if they have a concern about the welfare of a child. Staff ensure the environment is safe for children. For example, they complete daily risk assessments to help ensure equipment is safe. Staff use what they have learned on training to bring about improvements in the quality of the activities. For example, staff provide a greater range of healthy foods and encourage children to enjoy physical activities. Managers and staff have developed effective links with the schools the children attend. This helps to provide children with good levels of consistency. Managers provide good support to staff to help them build on children's interests and further develop the quality of their interactions. They listen to the views of children and parents and consider

staff feedback. They take account of these when evaluating the quality of the provision and implementing changes to further improve the quality of activities. Parents are confident to leave their children at this club. They appreciate the support provided by staff and the flexible arrangements. For example, that staff escort children from school to the club at the end of the day.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive confidently at this welcoming after-school club. They quickly settle into activities and enjoy working together with their peers. For example, a group of children play table football and develop their coordination. Others enjoy reading. They select an appropriate book from the well-resourced and comfortable book area. Staff provide children with good opportunities to play in the fresh air and exercise. For example, children enjoy using the outdoor play equipment. They confidently discuss with staff which muscles they are using and why it is important to exercise. Staff achieve a good balance between keeping children safe and encouraging them to take well-thought-out risks in their play. Staff plan experiences that engage children and enable them to become engrossed in their play. For example, children become absorbed in playing a card game and are well supported by a member of staff.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children show high levels of respect for each other. They listen and take an interest in what their friends are doing. For example, they comment on each other's mask designs and praise the choice of colours. Children of different ages are happy to play together and are kind to each other. For example, when younger children want to have a turn on outdoor play equipment the older children step aside graciously. Children enjoy snack time. They confidently choose their snack from an attractively presented and nutritious selection prepared in advance by staff. Children understand the importance of healthy eating and enjoy discussing the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables.
