This provision is good

 The manager and staff have worked at the club for sustained periods of time. They know children and their families well. Children, including those who are new, are happy and settled at the club.  Staff are good role models who treat children with kindness and respect.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good knowledge of the roles and responsibilities to protect children from harm and safeguard their welfare. Staff are vigilant and ensure all hazards are minimised at the club. Systems for safe recruitment are clear and ongoing staff suitability checks are completed. Furthermore, new staff have a thorough induction. This helps staff to understand the expectations of their role and responsibilities. The manager works in the rooms with the staff and holds regular staff meetings. Overall, this enables her to offer some feedback on teaching and identify any further training requirements. The manager and staff evaluate activities in the club and regularly seek the views of the children and teachers at the host school. Therefore, they are able to make some meaningful changes to the club.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff hold relevant qualifications. They are compassionate and caring towards children and listen to them, taking great interest in what they have to say. They ask children lots of questions and give them plenty of time to think and respond. Children particularly enjoy crafts, construction and playing outdoors. Staff make the most of these opportunities to plan appropriate activities that extend and build on children's interests and skills. For example, following a topic from school, children enjoy telling the staff what they have learnt about dinosaurs. Staff extend this by providing resources, such as paper, card and glue for children to construct their own three-dimensional replica dinosaurs. Older children demonstrate a desire to learn. For instance, they access quiet areas where they can read and do their homework.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are familiar with the consistent routines, which helps to support their emotional well-being. On arrival, they demonstrate their good independence as they hang up their belongings, before going to an activity of their choice. Children learn the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. They enjoy healthy snacks and cereals. Additionally, they help themselves to milk and water. Parents exchange information about children's likes and dislikes when they first start. This helps staff to build up strong relationships with new children and they settle well. Children show lots of enjoyment as they collaborate with each other during activities. For example, they share, wait patiently and say 'please' and 'thank you'. This demonstrates their excellent social skills and their awareness of the club rules. Staff help children to understand how to keep themselves safe. For example, they discuss the safe handling of sparklers and safety rules for Bonfire Night. Additionally, they

discuss the dangers of social media and playing computer games online.
