They are well qualified and experienced, and complete additional training to help ensure they are competent for their role. The provider monitors staff performance and supervises their work. She has an accurate understanding of the strengths of the club and is beginning to identify some areas for improvement. Staff share their views and children are consulted on what changes they would like to see in the club. Safeguarding is effective. Recruitment and vetting procedures are robust, ensuring children are cared for by suitable adults. The provider and staff give priority to ensuring children's safety. They have a secure understanding of the procedures to safeguard children and protect them from harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff request information from parents about children when they first start attending, including their preferences, interests and skills. They observe children's play and learning to check that children are developing well and not struggling in any areas. Staff share information with teachers and pass on messages from school to home. They make sure the club is well equipped. Children know where they can find resources to support their self-chosen play. Staff encourage children to experiment and follow their own ideas, for instance, during craft activities. They play board games with children to help them develop their game-playing skills. Children help with some tasks, such as clearing the table after snack. They remain focused as they use the pens to colour, trying hard to keep within the lines. Younger children enjoy building their own models using the bricks. Older children show imagination as they make up their own games in the role-play area.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The atmosphere in the club is relaxed and nurturing. Staff care for the children well and value what they have to say. Relationships between staff and children are very strong. Staff readily offer children gentle reassurance when needed and children happily hug staff before they leave. Children are excited to stay for tea. Snack time is unrushed and children have plenty of opportunity to chat with staff and each other. For instance, they have interesting discussions about what they have for their Christmas dinner and where different meats come from. Staff teach children about unhealthy food, such as foods that are high in salt. They discuss appropriate portion size, helping children to make informed choices to maintain their good health, overall. Children learn to follow rules and they understand expectations regarding their behaviour. For example, they know they must sit nicely at the table, respect one another and use good manners.
