p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider has a good understanding of relevant procedures and ensures that staff have regular opportunities to keep their knowledge up to date. Staff are vigilant and supervise children closely. They help children to think about keeping themselves safe alongside activities that encourage them to be physically active and to consider their own limitations. The provider monitors staff practice well and helps the team to make improvements. For example, they resolve issues around noise levels successfully to help younger children feel more secure and settled.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are good role models who are kind and caring, and they support children well. They join in with children's play and use demonstrations and explanations to help children achieve. Staff interact effectively with children and encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings. They work well in partnership with parents and other professionals. For example, staff follow suggestions from school teachers to support children's individual interests and capabilities. Parents have access to a good range of information to keep them well informed about the club, and staff work closely with them to settle children at the start of their placements.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children respect each other and the adults around them, for example, as they follow instructions readily, take turns and share resources. They have regular opportunities to learn about people who are different from themselves, to support their awareness of a diverse society. Children are confident to express their needs and they enjoy the praise and encouragement they receive from staff. The staff team supports children's health well. For example, staff encourage lots of physical activity and fresh air, and they provide nutritious food. Children develop a positive awareness of the importance of good hygiene under the careful supervision and support of staff.
