p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have attended training and have a firm understanding of their roles and responsibilities to keep children safe. They know the possible signs of abuse and neglect, and understand what to do in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. Effective policies and procedures are in place and are implemented by staff. The managers have a thorough recruitment procedure that ensures staff are suitable to carry out their roles and responsibilities. A detailed induction programme provides good support, encourages teamwork and sets high standards for the club. Staff have regular supervisory meetings with the managers to discuss their well-being. Risk assessments are effectively completed to minimise any potential risk, to support children's safety.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The managers and staff engage well in children's play, listen to their suggestions and plan activities that they know children will enjoy. For example, children enjoy using a tent to develop their role-play ideas. Staff are enthusiastic and friendly. They show they are interested in children as they encourage them to share and discuss experiences from home. Staff make the most of activities to build on the learning children undertake in school, overall. For example, they encourage children to write their own names and carefully sound out the letters to help them spell words correctly. Staff encourage children to explore and they show delight as they confidently feel and talk about the corn flour and water they have mixed to make gloop. Staff encourage children's creativity. They provide a varied range of materials for children to explore. Children concentrate well and they become absorbed in making and decorating pots. During

lunchtime, children demonstrate confidence and excellent communication skills as they talk about what they have chosen to put into their wraps.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have created a relaxed and well-planned environment for children's play. Children of all ages are settled and happy. They show good levels of confidence and motivation, and approach their play with enthusiasm. Children describe how they enjoy attending and have fun. They form new and strong friendships with children of different ages. For example, children practise athletics, learning from each other's skills and experiences. Staff provide plenty of time for children to enjoy fresh air in the park and make good use of play facilities, such as the trim trail. Young children display high levels of energy as they develop their confidence to climb over obstacles. Children show lots of enjoyment as they collaborate with each other during activities. For example, they share, wait patiently and say 'please' and 'thank you'. This demonstrates their excellent social skills and their awareness of the club rules. Children demonstrate a sense of pride and

responsibility as they describe the club rules and how these keep them safe. Staff make good use of daily conversations to keep parents up to date about their child's time in the club.
