The provision is good

n Children enjoy their time at the club and their behaviour is good. Leaders and staff place high priority on promoting children's communication and language skills. This is demonstrated when staff encourage children to share their day's experiences when they arrive at the club. n Staff are good role models and this helps children to learn how to be considerate and respectful towards each other. Staff have established strong bonds with parents who report that they are very happy with the provision and the partnership. n Children show a high level of independence and are familiar with the routines. This is evident when they select the activities they want to play with and move onto the next ones outside or inside. n Leaders are reflective. They value the opinions of others and include them in self- evaluating the club. They use the information gathered to make improvements. For example, parents have recently requested a change in the menu and their views have

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are aware of the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child's welfare. Self-evaluation is used effectively. Staff have implemented changes to reflect children's preferences about what they want to eat for snacks. Parents comment that they are, 'Very happy with the brilliant service' and about the, 'Very good value for money' the club provides. Recruitment and vetting procedures are good. Policies, procedures and risk assessments are in place. Staff implement these policies effectively and this helps to ensure children are kept safe. Staff receive good support and supervision. They have suitable opportunities to access training to support their professional development. Staff are well qualified and are deployed well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff understand their roles in helping children of all ages and stages of development to make good progress. They use information gleaned from parents and teachers to provide well-planned activities and experiences. Additionally, staff monitor children's progress to ensure their learning needs are supported. Children show motivation to learn when they develop their literacy, creative and imaginative skills. They write stories and illustrate their creations using a range of available media. They take part in challenges linked to mathematics, literacy and physical development which support their strategic and analytical skills. Staff follow children's ideas for play when they introduce them as pop stars in their role-play performances. Leaders and staff hold regular daily feedback sessions to discuss children's individual needs, interests, and progress and to plan future activities. Children say they enjoy the activities and their time at the club. Additionally,

children comment that staff are kind and helpful.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are extremely happy and settled in the club. They enjoy their time outdoors where they have good opportunities for fresh air and exercise. Older children play extremely well with the younger children and include them in their games. This shows that they respect each other when they show politeness and kindness. Staff support children to learn about the benefits of having a healthy diet. For example, they have fresh fruit, vegetables as well as freshly cooked snacks of their choice. Children demonstrate their good understanding of safety. They follow the rules for ball games and the directions given to them when they climb the activity wall and use the climbing apparatus.
