Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Leadership is effective. The provider has efficient systems for the recruitment of staff and to ensure their ongoing suitability. The manager demonstrates good leadership skills. Staff speak confidently about how they are supported in their roles, particularly during their induction period. All staff are encouraged to update their skills on a regular basis, for example, to develop their awareness of positive behaviour management. Staff evaluate their practice well and contribute towards reviewing the success of activities and resources. The proactive manager has identified targets for further improvement and is establishing these into practice. For instance, she is introducing new ways to ensure staff remain aware of their roles and responsibilities, to support consistency in staff practice. Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of all safeguarding matters. They are confident about how to protect children. Partnerships are positive. Staff acquire

information through discussions with parents about children's backgrounds, interests and attainments to support their understanding of children's needs. Staff act on informative hand-over discussions with teachers at the end of the day to offer continuity in children's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are supportive of children's communication, social and physical skills. They help children to settle well after their school day and are sensitive to children's individual needs. Staff encourage children's independence and confidence well. For example, they help children to participate in planning ideas for future events and activities, including making a choice for a club pet. Staff support children's creativity by suggesting activities that children enjoy, such as junk modelling. Children use scissors, tape and other materials to design complex structures and are very keen to show their parents at the end of the session. Staff make focused observations of children's achievements, to promote consistency for their learning elsewhere. Staff share these regularly with teachers and parents, to keep them informed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are outstanding

Staff offer children a highly stimulating and interesting environment with a wide range of activities to enjoy after their school day. Children thoroughly enjoy activities outdoors, regardless of the weather. They easily develop independence, such as fastening the zips and buttons on their coats with little help. Staff place a high priority on supporting children's awareness of keeping themselves safe and healthy. For example, staff use very strong skills to support children if they feel tired or more emotional after their day at school, and gently ease them into their play. Staff encourage children to understand the club rules by making their own interpretations of these. They help children develop an awareness of how to use equipment safely and how to protect themselves when they use the internet. They provide children with extremely healthy and nutritious snacks. Children thoroughly understand the importance of hygiene matters and effective handwashing.
