Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have attended relevant training and understand their child protection responsibilities. For example, they know the procedures to follow if they have any welfare concerns about children in their care. Systems for recruiting new staff are thorough. Staff are suitable and ongoing checks help to ensure they remain suitable to work with children. The provider plans regular training courses for staff to maintain and broaden their skills. For example, staff have relevant first-aid qualifications and they manage accidents appropriately. The manager and provider monitor staff's practice carefully to ensure the children's experiences are enjoyable and safe. The staff have an effective partnership with the school, which supports them to provide good levels of consistent care and to understand any welfare concerns. Staff have a good partnership with parents and share details of their children's

time in the setting. Parents speak positively about the setting and the activities their children take part in.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The staff work hard to ensure children have good opportunities to enjoy their time in the setting. For example, they support children to understand how to work as a team and support each other. There was lots of laughter and cheering as children played 'messy bedrooms', trying to beat the other team. Staff use the time in the outdoor area to support children to extend their mathematical skills, for example, counting items that affect their score. Staff plan activities that excite children and encourage them to join in. For example, children have great fun playing a game of bingo. They enjoy looking for numbers and listen intently to their friend who calls the numbers. Children are delighted to create seasonal pictures and plan a wish list for Father Christmas, talking to their friends about what they have put on their list.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are full of self-confidence. They happily express themselves and greet staff and their friends with warmth. Staff help children to understand about turn taking and sharing. For example, the children know the rules of group games and are delighted to remind their friends how to wait for their turn and what to do as the game progresses. Staff help children keep safe in the club. For example, children understand the importance of telling staff when they are using the bathroom. Children know the importance of healthy eating and enthusiastically tell staff about the different fruit they like to eat. Staff use good levels of praise and encouragement, and support children to feel sure of themselves. The children are self-assured and behave well.
