p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The leader and manager ensure staff have a good understanding of child protection. Staff reflect on recent training and talk confidently about the signs of abuse and neglect. They know how to report any concerns that they have to keep children safe from harm. The leader, manager and staff are extremely vigilant. For example, they challenge parents of children at the school, but unknown to the club, entering the hall, to ensure children's safety in the club. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The leader is highly reflective and gives considerable thought towards ensuring new children to the club do not find their first days overwhelming. She has made changes since last year that benefit children's emotional well-being.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The leader and manager monitor children's abilities and enjoyment at the club. They work closely with the school to provide complementary support for children who require some additional help. Staff listen and talk to children about their day. They plan a varied range of activities that teaches children new skills to enhance their abilities. For example, children use chalk to draw the solar system and learn different techniques, such as smudging borders to give the moon a glowing effect. Staff encourage children to explore outside, for instance, to find autumn colours to make a hedgehog. They excitedly gather leaves and sticks, and find stones and smaller twigs to represent the eyes and mouth. Back inside, children tackle the task in different ways. Some draw an outline and glue on their leaves; others enjoy the spreading of glue across the paper before deciding where to lay their twigs.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff help children to build a strong sense of belonging in the club. They encourage children who are new this term to talk together and learn each other's names in an enjoyable way. Children engage happily and develop confidence to talk about who they live with, and they enjoy discovering they do not all have a pet at home. Staff organise a good range of team games that promotes children's physical skills, coordination and balance. Children enjoy making up their own games and challenge each other, for example, how long they can keep two hula-hoops spinning. Children quickly learn the club's routines and boundaries. For example, when noise levels rise staff clap their hands, children join in, new children copy and the volume decreases. Children are learning to adapt their behaviour to meet staff's expectations. Their behaviour is good. Children are kind, considerate and respectful to their friends.
