p.1

The provision is good

n Staff carry out daily safety checks to ensure that the environment inside and outside remains safe and secure. They carefully monitor children's attendance, so that they are safely accounted for at all times. n The recruitment of staff is robust. All necessary checks are carried out to ensure that staff working with children are suitable to do so. n Parents are positive about the club. They state that the club is 'very well organised', 'staff are extremely caring' and that their children really 'love attending'. n Staff make good use of opportunities to encourage children's awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Children enjoy daily exercise and staff encourage discussions during snack and mealtimes about foods that are good for children. n Children practise good manners and are considerate of others. For example, they make room at the table for others and pass plates of fresh fruit around.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of the possible signs of child abuse. They know what to do should they have a concern about a child in their care. Induction and ongoing supervisory meetings are in place. The provider successfully implements a range of effective policies and procedures. For example, she implements policies that help to make sure any accidents or injuries are dealt with appropriately and reported to parents. The provider regularly seeks the views of parents and children. These good partnerships help the provider and staff to evaluate and build upon their existing practice.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff know the children well and follow their lead and motivation for learning. For instance, children enjoy a creative painting activity. They make bats from cardboard tubes and use their imagination to paint the completed models. During such activities, staff use questions to challenge children's thinking. They encourage children to identify the different colours they are using and share their general knowledge about bats. Children enjoy being imaginative. They are involved in the planning of some activities, sharing their ideas and interests. Staff respond well to children's suggestions. For example, they extend construction activities, so that children have a greater range of building bricks and materials.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have a very clear sense of belonging at the club. Staff listen carefully to them and praise their contributions, so that children feel valued. They help children to feel relaxed and safe as they engage in their play. Children enjoy opportunities to play outdoors. For example, they play football and frisbee games. Older children considerately explain the rules to their younger friends. Children fully understand the club rules and staff act as very good role models. Staff encourage children to show respect and interest in people and cultures different to their own. This helps children to develop an understanding of the wider world outside of their immediate families. Staff nurture children's confidence well. They effectively help them to achieve and develop social skills, such as taking turns fairly and discussing play ideas together.
