Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff carry out daily risk assessments. They identify and minimise hazards. Children are safe as they play. Staff complete training in child protection and the 'Prevent' duty. They know what action to take if concerned about a child's welfare. The recruitment and vetting of staff are rigorous. The manager carries out thorough checks. She makes sure staff are suitable to work with children. Staff are suitably qualified. The manager provides staff with regular supervision and appraisal. This helps staff to review and reflect upon their practice. Targets are set to help staff to continue to develop their skills and knowledge.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a stimulating place for children to consolidate the learning they have achieved at school. Staff give a lot of consideration to the organisation of the play areas. They make sure children can choose to be active, or to rest and relax, at the end of their school day. Some children enjoy using their imaginations as they dance to music. Other children enjoy being creative as they make structures using play dough and pictures using beads. Children concentrate very well and become engrossed in their play. For example, they spend long periods playing interactive games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are enthusiastic as they eagerly enter the club. They confidently seek out familiar children and staff to join them in their play. Children follow good hygiene routines and are learning to keep healthy. They take themselves to the toilet and wash their hands before eating. Children calmly line up to help themselves to nutritious snacks of pasta and fruit. They enjoy making pizzas to take home to eat for their tea. Children are learning to be independent and to keep safe. They enjoy completing small tasks, such as pouring their own drinks. Children take part in a wide range of energetic outdoor activities. They develop their physical skills while playing football and balancing on wooden beams.
