This provision is good

 The manager and staff form good relationships with parents. Parents keep staff informed of their children's achievements and interests at home. Staff use the information to help them plan activities that inspire children to take part and learn.  Staff provide a good variety of enjoyable activities and they arrange the environment well. For example, they provide a cosy area where children relax, read books and enjoy quiet time after school. Staff use a large playroom well to provide opportunities for children to be active, such as dancing sessions.  Children are friendly and they develop strong social skills. For example, older children are supportive of the younger ones. They help them to select and join in with games.  Staff are highly motivated and they enjoy developing their professional knowledge and teaching skills to benefit children.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and staff have a good understanding of their roles in safeguarding children's well-being. They know the procedures to follow if they had any concerns about their welfare. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager has received training in safer recruitment and she follows strong procedures for recruitment, induction and supervision, to help ensure that staff are suitable for their roles. The manager monitors the quality of staff practice effectively. She supports their professional development well. For example, staff benefit from guidance and training during regular supervisory sessions. The manager and staff evaluate the quality of their provision well. They reflect on all aspects of their work to identify areas for improvement. For example, the manager and staff have expanded the range of activities children experience with the club, such as attending theatre productions and swimming lessons.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are highly motivated and they are keen to join in with planned activities. Staff involve children well in the planning process so that activities support their interests successfully. For example, children decide on the theme of wall displays, choosing to create a collage of their favourite fictional characters. Staff support children's developing skills well. For example, they work alongside children demonstrating and explaining how they are moulding clay to make animal models. Children concentrate well and persevere until they are satisfied with their clay creations. Staff help to build children's self-esteem, for instance, they praise their efforts and achievements consistently. Children choose from a wealth of toys and resources. They play together harmoniously. For example, children work well as a team to assemble a marble run. They talk about their ideas and listen to each other attentively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and they enjoy spending time at the club. They develop close relationships with staff and children and they are respectful towards each other. For example, staff keep interruptions to a minimum to avoid disrupting children's play and when they give the signal to stop, children give them their full attention. Children behave very well. Staff work together with children to agree club rules for them all to follow. Children develop good independence skills. For example, they help to prepare and serve food. Staff maintain a safe environment for children. For instance, they carry out daily checks and children help to keep the playrooms safe by putting away toys after they have used them.
