p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The management team ensures that all staff undertake child protection training to keep their knowledge fresh and updated. Staff know the possible signs of abuse and neglect. They know what to do should they have any concerns about the welfare of a child in their care. Staff vigilantly check all areas of the club before children arrive. They ensure the club is kept secure throughout the session. Staff are well deployed to ensure children are kept safe and well throughout the session. All staff receive one-to-one confidential meetings with the manager. This provides opportunities for staff to talk about sensitive issues and to discuss their training needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide lots of opportunities for children of all ages to use their imagination. For example, they explore small-world toys and build with construction resources. They enjoy playing alongside one another as they talk about what they are making. Staff interact well with children, using a range of questioning techniques to encourage children to think and solve their own problems. Children competently use scissors to cut tissues, sticking these to their shapes with glue. Older children confidently 'have a go' at writing their name on their own work. Staff play alongside children, encouraging negotiation and good team play. For example, children play indoor soft-ball games with their friends. Here they learn how to take turns fairly and they demonstrate empathy for younger children who are still learning. Staff provide a range of opportunities for children to make marks. For example, children use paints, their hands and crayons to make their own pictures to display on their

club wall. Children's interest in books is well promoted, they sit with their friends to look through their favourite books and talk about their favourite characters and heroes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage discussions with the children about what is and what is not so healthy to eat. This helps children to develop their awareness of a healthy lifestyle. Children take calculated risks in their play. They jump, roll and run around in the soft-play areas of the club. Staff support children to learn about similarities and differences between themselves and others in the local and wider community. For example, children play with a range of toys and resources that reflects positive images of diversity and they explore their own, and the festivals of others around the calendar year. This helps children to build on and develop their respect and tolerance for others.
