Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider and the staff team have a very secure understanding of how to support children's safety and well-being. They are clear on signs that indicate children are at risk of harm, including where children are exposed to extreme views. The provider follows robust recruitment procedures to ensure staff's suitability. Staff very effectively assess risks to children and minimise these effectively to promote children's safety. The provider uses feedback from parents, staff and others to successfully promote continuous improvement. Staff have established strong partnerships with other professionals in the host school and the local community, which enables them to seek specialist support and guidance when required. The manager provides regular support and guidance on how staff can develop in their roles, such as through supervision meetings and observations of staff practise. Staff access a wide

range of training opportunities that helps them fulfil the requirements of their role very successfully.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are extremely well deployed and offer good levels of challenge and support for children of differing ages. Children enthusiastically take part in the daily themed activities. They create colourful beach scenes where they creatively design patterns in the sand with small shells. Staff support children to use a wide range of tools, such as scissors with confidence. Children are well supported to follow their own ideas. For example, children shape and decorate colourful bracelets from card and paper to share with their friends. Children speak fondly of the staff team. They comment that they enjoy coming to the club, making new friends and taking part in fun games.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff very effectively support children to develop their independence and confidence in their own abilities. They provide good support for the very youngest of children, showing consideration for developmental stages, such as potty training. Staff very successfully promote children's awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. For example, specialist coaches offer children a wide range of sports activities that promote their physical skills effectively alongside the wide range of activities for outdoor play. Staff very effectively help older children learn about internet safety. For example, they help children manage their time on handheld gaming consoles and devices to ensure their mental well-being. Staff are excellent role models. They sensitively support children to manage their feelings and to learn about fairness, teamwork and the importance of involving others. Younger children benefit immensely from the kind interactions of older

children who responsibly involve them in their games. Staff provide good opportunities for children to find out about the community they live in. For example, children enjoy a trip on a canal barge or meet endangered species at a 'living rainforest'.
