p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager works alongside the staff team and offers support and direction to staff to help them build on their practice. Staff benefit from ongoing training, staff meetings and supervision to help update their skills and increase their knowledge. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff are trained in child protection issues and know the procedure to follow if they have a concern about a child being abused or neglected. There are effective recruitment, vetting and induction systems in place to ensure all staff are suitable and clear about their roles and responsibilities. Staff collect children from their classrooms to ensure they arrive safely at the club and conduct daily checks to ensure the environment is safe and suitable. Parent surveys and feedback shows parents are very satisfied with the service they receive. They are impressed with how well staff know their children and the systems in place to keep them up to date about the club and

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children quickly decide what they want to do and show good levels of involvement in their chosen activities. Staff plan and provide a good range of activities based around the children's interests, festivals and the seasons. For example, the children's interest in transport has led to children making three-dimensional vehicles from boxes. Staff encourage children to make ramps and test which materials help improve the speed of the cars. Children have plenty of opportunities to be creative and construct. For example, children make wands and swords and build dens. Staff provide good opportunities for children to use their senses and explore materials. For example, children make gloop, add various materials to dough to change its consistency and enjoy early scientific experiments. During the holiday, club staff provide fun activities based around topics, such as the beach, science and culture. Staff plan exciting activities around these topics

to quickly capture the children's curiosity and imaginations.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff know children well and place a good focus on getting to know the children and help them settle and make friends. On arrival, children are warmly welcomed, and staff sit with them as they eat their snack and talk to children about their day, likes and interests. Staff show a genuine interest in what children say and children enjoy their company. Staff teach children exercise is good for their bodies and place a good focus on teaching children about keeping healthy. For example, children benefit from low sugar cereals at breakfast, and a selection of fruits and vegetables are included in the snack after school. Children know what rules are in place for their safety and staff place a good focus on teaching children about right and wrong. Staff use motivating strategies to help children behave. For example, children are eager to earn points as they behave well and care for others.
