This provision is good

 Children really enjoy their time at the club. They settle quickly into activities and enthusiastically share information about their day with staff. Good relationships form between staff, children and their peers.  Children show pride in their creative work. Displays around the room show children engage in a wide range of topics, such as Independence Day. Children share their experiences with their parents.  Partnerships with other providers are strong. Staff in the club and teaching staff work closely together to meet children's individual learning needs. Children's inquisitive nature and enthusiasm for new information continues as staff plan a wide variety of activities both inside and outdoors.  Children behave well. They are polite and respectful to staff and their peers. Staff praise children for good behaviour and using their manners. This helps to build their self-esteem and confidence.

Effectiveness of the leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are fully aware of their role in protecting children. They understand the referral procedures if they have concerns about a child in their care. Staff assess all areas used by the children before they arrive and take effective steps to minimise potential hazards. Security is good. Children are unable to leave the premises unsupervised and staff only release children into the care of known adults. Staff maintain records of visitors to the club and always check their identification. Required documents are held securely. Routines for recruiting staff and their induction into the club are good. Effective communication with teaching staff and clearly established routines ensure children safely arrive from school in the evening. Parents are very happy with the service they and their children receive.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan activities while taking into consideration the topics children are learning in school. Children share their own ideas which are also included in the planning. Staff encourage children's creativity. Children enjoy experimenting with colours. For example, children create their own pictures of fireworks with an explosion of colour as they develop an understanding of Independence Day celebrations. They are keen to ask staff questions about celebrations to broaden their awareness further. Children show good levels of concentration as they build various models. They talk to each other about their day and encourage staff in their conversations. Children delight in playing board games. They spend lots of time asking each other questions while they try to guess what or who is on the playing card they have placed on their head. Children recreate familiar experiences and spend time playing with the small-world figures. They explore different travel, looking

at different places they have visited and make their own travel documents, including passports.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have a good understanding of children's individual needs. They spend time getting to know the children and their parents, and children gradually settle into the club through several visits. Children enjoy healthy and nutritious snacks each day and fresh drinking water is freely available. They enjoy making their own snacks and staff support their awareness of foods that have a positive impact on their bodies. Staff put the health and well-being of children first. They ensure that children apply sun cream before playing outside and remind children to take their drinks outdoors so they stay hydrated in the hot weather. Children enjoy being physically active. They engage in team games and use climbing apparatus and trim trails in the school grounds. Children learn about diversity and the wider world. They engage in activities that broaden their awareness of different cultural events and traditions. Children enjoy learning Spanish at the club and also sign
