Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff undertake child protection training to keep their knowledge up-to-date. They have a good understanding of the indicators of abuse and neglect and how to report their concerns. This ensures children are kept safe from harm. Leaders fully understand their role and responsibilities and follow robust recruitment procedures to recruit suitable, highly-qualified, experienced staff members. Staff vigilantly check all areas children use before their arrival. Staff deploy themselves effectively to support children and supervise visitors. This ensures that children are kept safe and secure while attending the club. Parents are very happy with the care that their children receive. Staff work well with parents to keep them informed of what their children have been doing at the club.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have an excellent knowledge about each child and their family background. They complement children's learning and provide effective support so their play is extended. Staff have high expectations of what children can do. They provide exciting experiences to keep children engaged and motivated to learn. For example, children confidently take part in bespoke drama sessions. They listen carefully to the visiting teacher who inspires children's imagination as they take on exciting and challenging roles. Staff support children's mathematical development well. For instance, they involve children in counting, calculating and comparing numbers while building with construction materials. Staff interact well with children, using a range of questioning techniques to encourage children to think and solve their own problems. Children's literacy skills are supported well. They easily access a wide range of reading materials placed in a quiet area of the room, where

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have a good understanding of what children like and can do. They encourage parents to share information when children first register at the club, to help with the settling-in process. The key-person system is secure and well embedded. Staff model good behaviour which helps children understand how to play cooperatively, share and take turns. Regular and meaningful praise by the staff helps to ensure that children gain confidence and feel good about themselves. Children learn about healthy lifestyles. They learn to wash and dry their hands before eating and to make healthy choices at snack time. Children are learning to respect and value each other's similarities and differences, as they learn about a variety of festivals, such as Chinese New Year.
