The provision is good

n The club manager is well supported by a strong senior management team. They lead by example, working with children each day and acting as positive role models.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Management supports the professional development of the staff team well. Managers regularly observe staff practice and introduce new ideas during staff meetings to help them to improve. For example, they have recently focused on encouraging children's independence further and giving more positive responsibilities. Management and staff have also focused on getting to know new children at the start of the school year and working closely with teachers to help to provide consistent experiences for children. They have also developed their planning and now offer more structured opportunities, such as planned daily craft activities. Safeguarding is effective. Management and staff are vigilant and have a good understanding of how to deal with any child protection concerns. They have an up-to-date knowledge of current legislation and complete regular child protection training.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff get to know children well and show a genuine interest in them. They encourage plenty of conversation about children's home lives and their day at school, and children happily share their experiences. Staff keep records of what children do and achieve at the club and plan activities they know children will enjoy. Children happily take part in a wide range of experiences. For example, they enjoy drawing, building structures and developing their imaginary play. Staff support children well and join in sensitively with their play, encouraging their ideas. For example, as children build train tracks, they ask them about train journeys they have been on and where the toy trains might travel to. Staff share good information with teachers and extend activities children take part in at school, such as 'All about me' projects.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage children to be physically active and provide regular opportunities for exercise. For example, children enjoy playing running games and using challenging climbing equipment outdoors. They have a strong understanding of safety and confidently discuss rules, such as only going down the slide and giving each other space when they climb. Children form trusting bonds with the caring, positive and friendly staff. Overall, they develop good social skills and enjoy sharing their knowledge with others. Children behave well and are considerate of the needs of others. They happily take turns during games and kindly pass each other bowls of food during snack. Children are very confident and develop a strong sense of self-esteem. They proudly celebrate their achievements and respond well to praise from staff. For example, they excitedly show off their drawings and cheer when they find each other during games of 'hide and seek'.
