The provision is good

n The manager is enthusiastic and ambitious. She has worked hard to provide this good- quality breakfast and after-school club since registration. n Parents are very happy with the care their children receive at the club. They have built positive relationships with the manager and staff. Parents say the club is, 'Brilliant', 'Children never want to leave' and, 'Communication between the host school, club and parents is fantastic'. n Children are keen to join in and have fun. For example, they skilfully build castles for toy dinosaurs and competently use a variety of one-handed tools to cut shapes from play dough. n Staff positively interact with children as they play. They give them explanations that help their learning. For example, staff sit with younger children and skilfully explain to them how to play a game of 'snap'. n Staff support children's healthy lifestyles well. Children devour a healthy meal at

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff regularly access training to help them identify any safeguarding or child protection issues. They know who to report any safeguarding concerns they have to and understand the local procedures to follow. The manager fully assesses risks at the club and prior to outdoor activities, to minimise all hazards. Children are closely supervised and staff are vigilant about security. The manager meets regularly with staff to discuss their professional development and to monitor their ongoing suitability. New staff receive in-depth induction training to help them understand their roles and responsibilities.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The key-person arrangements effectively support the youngest children when they first start. Settling-in sessions help them settle quickly. Staff know the children well and join them in their play. Indoors, staff provide a variety of activities. For example, children enjoy art and craft activities and playing imaginatively with dolls and a wooden train set. Staff encourage children to make choices. For example, they give children the option to play either indoors or outdoors. Children excitedly and enthusiastically use the large school playground. The manager and staff have very good links with teaching staff at the host school. They regularly share information with them to support the care and development of children.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time at the club. Overall, children behave well and follow simple rules to keep themselves safe. Children enjoy each other's company and enthusiastically help one another. For example, children skilfully help to tie each other's shoelaces. The manager and staff work together well. They are courteous and respectful towards each other and children. They are good role models. Outdoors children enthusiastically play cricket and football, and expertly roll and catch hoops. Children's physical skills are supported well. Recognition of diversity is promoted well through teaching and learning. Children learn, respect and celebrate each other's similarities and difference through art and craft activities and discussion. September 2018 4 of 5
