Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The manager and staff have a secure knowledge of how to keep children safe. They regularly attend safeguarding training to help them maintain their good knowledge and understanding. They describe typical signs and symptoms of abuse and know the procedures to follow to help to keep children safe. The manager regularly completes risk assessments, to help ensure the premises are safe, both indoors and outdoors. Children are closely supervised and staff are extremely vigilant about security. For example, when children go outside, staff ensure the gate is securely locked. Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff evaluate their provision well. They value parents' and children's views, and use their comments to drive improvements. For example, parents post their comments in the comments box and complete regular questionnaires. This helps staff to plan activities, suggested by parents and children, to meet children's individual needs.

p.4

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are excited, enthused and engaged in whatever they do. They enjoy playing basketball indoors. Outdoors they skip, ride scooters and kick balls with staff. The manager and staff encourage children to have an active role during their time at the club. For example, they help decide the club rules together. This encourages children to follow the rules and helps to keep them safe and from harm. The manager shares information with teaching staff and meets regularly with the headteacher. This helps to support children's care, learning and development. Children develop good imagination as they write stories for a writing competition. They are keen to share their work with the inspector. Staff encourage children's creativity. They provide children with a range of arts and crafts to create Easter pictures.

p.4

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

All children have formed close relationships with staff and each other. At every activity, they play cooperatively, share and take turns. Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. They learn to do things for themselves. They are confident and independent. The youngest children are supported well. The key person gets to know their likes and dislikes when they first start, to help them settle quickly. Older children settle straight away. Teatime is an extremely sociable time. Staff and children sit together. They confidently and eagerly talk about their day as they eat together. The club provides healthy, nutritious meals at teatime. Children develop a good understanding of a healthy lifestyle. For example, they independently choose from a range of fillings to prepare their own sandwiches. They finish with a dessert of yogurt and fruits.
