p.1

The provision is good

n Staff provide a safe environment for children and strongly support children's personal, social and emotional development. They are good role models, promote the use of good manners and provide clear guidance for children about acceptable behaviour. For example, staff work with children at the beginning of term to establish the rules and expectations of the club. n Staff provide a good range of play experiences. Children happily join in with group activities and play with their friends. They can choose to be active or simply relax at the end of their school day. n Staff reinforce children's self-confidence and emotional well-being. Children share and express their views and choices with staff well about what they want to play with and to eat. n The provider monitors the provision effectively. They work together with the manager and staff team to reflect on the club's practice and identify areas for development to

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Staff build positive relationships with parents and professionals in the host school and exchange some information with them. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff attend training and are alert to the signs that may indicate that a child is at risk of abuse. They fully understand their responsibilities to respond to any concerns about a child's welfare. The provider has developed rigorous recruitment and induction procedures to help to ensure that staff are well qualified and suitable to care for children. There are effective systems to check the ongoing suitability of staff, and systems developed for appraisal and supervision address some training needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff use their experience and skills well to promote and encourage children's engagement in a wide range of experiences. They set out toys and equipment that children have indicated that they enjoy playing with and that are suitable for the age range of those attending. This helps children to remain interested in their choice of activity. Children are confident and readily share their experiences from their day. Staff interact warmly with children and effectively encourage them to participate in the routines and activities of the club. Children concentrate for long periods drawing and colouring. Staff help to expand children's communication and language skills and their developing writing skills. They sit with children and talk to them about what they are doing and learn more about their interests and families.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to feel emotionally secure. They are sensitive, provide affection and stability. They build on children's self-esteem successfully. For instance, staff collect younger children from their classrooms. Staff greet them enthusiastically on arrival and engage readily in conversation about their school day. Older children support their younger peers as they creatively paint with a range of resources. Children respect each other's opinions as they talk together about their artwork. This helps new children to settle in and to promote their social skills. Staff get involved with children's play and support them to stay engaged and interested in the activities. For example, staff play board games and help children to understand the rules of games and take turns. There are many opportunities for children to play outside in the familiar school grounds. Staff consider children's dietary needs when they plan healthy snack menus. They help

children to follow good self-care skills. Children make positive choices about what they eat, which enhances their health and self-care skills as part of a sociable experience.
