Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff confidently describe signs and symptoms that may indicate a child is at risk of harm. They know the procedures to follow and who to contact should they have any concerns about a child's well-being. Children are supervised well by the staff team, particularly when playing outdoors. For example, staff position themselves effectively to ensure they can see the children at all times. The staff team is supported well by a committee team. Self- evaluation is effective and takes account of the views of staff, committee, parents and children, for example, making continual improvements to the play experiences children enjoy and ensuring they complement children's learning at school. Staff recruitment and on-going suitability is robust, this helps to keep children safe.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide children with opportunities to enjoy after school and during school holidays. They take the time to settle new children in effectively, this helps to make them feel welcome and part of the club right from the start. Staff plan activities that they know will be of interest to children. They listen to children's opinions and allow them to make choices about which activities they take part in. Children clearly appreciate staff joining in with their play and often invite them to join in with games and role play. Children show high levels of concentration during their play, for example, as they create colourful boomerangs as part of their Australia topic week. They develop a good range of skills to support their future learning. For instance, they learn to identify numbers and count accurately as they play board games with staff. Staff encourage children to contribute to discussions and to feel confident in speaking in small and large groups. This helps

children's communication skills and develops friendships with one another. During school holidays, staff regularly arrange interesting visits and outings. For example, they visit the cinema, library and local outdoor activity centre.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy the time they spend at the club. They develop good relationships with staff and older children who also attend. Staff gather good-quality information from parents about the children's individual needs, including any allergies or medical conditions they may have. This is managed well by staff to ensure children receive consistent levels of care, which has a positive effect on their well-being. Children are able to relax in a cosy comfortable area, should they become tired and require some quiet time. Their behaviour is good. Staff provide clear instructions so that children know what is expected of them. Additionally, children help to devise the rules of the club, this helps them to learn about right from wrong. Children are developing good independence skills. For instance, they pour their own drinks and help to tidy toys and resources away to help keep their play space safe from trips and falls. Children have opportunities of

playing outside with a range of interesting resources. They balance on wobble boards, play ball games and play imaginatively, pretending they are going on a bus journey.
