p.1

This provision is good

 The qualified manager and her colleague are the only permanent members of staff usually working in the club. They have been associated with the club for many years. The relief staff are well-known to the children and, as a result, children develop secure emotional attachments with all the staff who work in the club. When children leave, they are keen to give staff a hug to say goodbye.  The manager works well with the host school and has successful procedures in place for complementing children's development. Staff find out about children's current topics in school. This helps to promote continuity of care and development.  The manager and staff undertake relevant training, which extends their knowledge to support children's development and well-being. For example, all staff complete paediatric first-aid training.  Parents are complimentary about the club and the activities offered to children. They

say that the staff are extremely caring to their children and attentive to their needs. They add that children often do not want to come home, they are having so much fun.  The manager and her colleague are good role models and work well together. Children behave well and help each other with activities. They demonstrate good social skills, play harmoniously together and develop strong friendships across a range of ages.

Inspection activities

 The inspector observed the quality of activities available for children indoors and outdoors, and discussed the planning of activities with staff.  The inspector spoke with staff and children during the inspection.  The inspector held a meeting with the club manager. She looked at relevant documentation and evidence of the suitability of staff working in the club.  The inspector spoke to several parents during the inspection and took account of their views.

p.2

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager has a secure understanding of the signs and symptoms that would cause concern about a child's welfare and she knows the procedure for reporting any concerns that may arise. Records required for inspection are organised and readily available. Comprehensive policies and procedures are in place and effectively implemented by staff. Although staff turnover is extremely low, there is a secure recruitment procedure in place to ensure that staff who work with the children are suitable to do so. Staff provide children with safe indoor and outdoor spaces. The premises are secure and staff are vigilant in their supervision of children. The manager reflects on how well the club operates. She makes improvements, where she considers it will benefit the welfare and development of children in the club's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy arts and crafts. They spend a significant amount of time and become totally engrossed, cutting, sticking and drawing to create a large 'daddy' figure. Staff engage well with children. They ask lots of questions about children's experiences at school, at home and a recent field trip is a hot topic for the children to discuss. Children show their friends how they can play popular songs on the electronic organ. This helps to extend their understanding of technology. Children throw balls into a net, helping to develop their coordination. They use their imagination in role play, as they pretend to be teachers and play at being 'mums and dads'. Children are involved with decision making, which ensures they have choices and gives them a sense of ownership of their club. The manager values all children's suggestions and includes their views when planning activities. Children show good levels of concentration and sustained interest as they

carefully construct tall towers from small blocks.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff constantly praise children's efforts and achievements. This helps to promote their self-confidence and boosts their self-esteem. Children have good opportunities to take part in a range of physical activities outdoors, such as ball games and using the exercise equipment on the school field. Children know the routines and rules that they must follow to keep themselves safe. For example, they calmly line up and walk safely when they are collected from the hall and their classroom. Staff encourage children to follow healthy lifestyles, and they offer gentle reminders to wash their hands prior to eating. Children comment on how much they like attending the setting. They state that they like the snack time and playing on the school field. Children show an interest in global events and festivals, such as Chinese New Year and the football World Cup. This helps them to develop a positive awareness of the world in which they live.
