p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Priorities for future development reflect the views of parents and staff. Self-evaluation is accurate overall. Staff feel valued and work well as a team. For example, all staff contribute to the regular planning of different activities for the children and the development of resources. Safeguarding is effective. All staff receive regular child protection training. The management ensures their knowledge and understanding is up to date through staff meetings, discussions and quizzes. Staff are deployed effectively to supervise and care for children indoors and out. The majority of staff have first-aid training and know how to respond appropriately in the event of an accident.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff gather useful information from parents about children's interests and personal development when they first join the club. They make regular observations of children's engagement and enjoyment in their activities. They use this knowledge well to help children settle in quickly and develop their confidence. Staff help children to develop their creative interests and solve problems. For example, they work with children on creating complex designs with glitter and other vibrant collage materials. Staff provide good opportunities for children to listen to stories, read books or create their own adventures. For example, children enjoy working together to create different characters with their small-world and role-play toys. Staff work well with other professionals to support children who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff quickly establish good relationships with children. They are skilled at helping children who lack confidence to settle in and grow in self-awareness. Parents comment that their children really enjoy being at the club and do not want to go home at the end of the session. Children learn to play safely and take responsibility for their own behaviour. Staff promote children's knowledge and understanding of good hygiene and healthy eating. They help children to make healthy choices at snack times. The children contribute to preparing their own meal. Staff encourage children to be independent and confident in their own ability. They help children to be tolerant towards those who hold different ideas and beliefs to their own. Children participate in activities linked to global celebrations or festivals, such as the Chinese New Year or Valentine's Day. Children make a good contribution to charitable events.
