Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Managers and staff are fully aware of their role in safeguarding children. They understand the referral procedures to follow should they have a concern about a child in their care. Children's safety is a priority. Staff assess all areas each day before children arrive and take effective steps to minimise potential risks. Secure procedures are followed for the recruitment of staff. Partnerships with teaching staff are good and communication between club and school each day is effective. Parents are very happy with the service provided by the club. They comment on the excellent activities provided. They also state that their children do not want to leave in the evening because they are having such a good time.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time in club and settle quickly into the activities. Resources are exciting. Children choose from a wide variety of activities and experiences. They enjoy being creative and their artwork is displayed. Children show high levels of concentration as they make jewellery, such as bracelets and necklaces. They show great pride in their work. Staff support children's development effectively and activities reflect topics within school. For example, children use their imaginations well and they enjoy using small-world resources in their super hero play. Children play well together and they choose different games to play in small groups. Younger children excitedly collect different leaves. They identify the different colours of the leaves and understand the colours are changing as the leaves fall from the trees. Children enthusiastically sing different songs and they join in with the supporting actions.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are confident individuals and they are fully aware of the routines in place in the club. They understand the importance of handwashing at appropriate times. Older children independently access the bathroom and staff escort younger children to the bathroom facilities and support them as needed. Children show respect towards staff and each other. Staff are positive role models and children respond well to requests from staff. They are all happy to help tidy the toys away in readiness for their snack. Staff fully understand children's dietary and medical needs. They liaise effectively with parents to ensure they know what action needs to be taken in an emergency. Children enjoy being physically active and choose when they wish to play outdoors. They climb, explore and balance on different climbing equipment outdoors. They also cooperatively play team games indoors, such as dodgeball in the school hall.
