Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Comprehensive policies and procedures help staff to fully understand their role in keeping children safe and secure. Staff demonstrate a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities to identify and report any concerns relating to children's welfare. They also have a good awareness of wider child protection issues. The provider and manager conduct rigorous checks and induction procedures are in place to ensure staff are suitable to be in contact with children. Staff use risk assessments effectively to minimise potential risks in the environment. Staff morale is high and this helps to drive improvement. Parents' views are actively sought and acted upon to further improve the club. Strong partnership with the school ensures continuity in care for children. Parents are very complimentary about the care and service staff provide.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children make informed choices regarding their play and choose from a wide variety of resources and equipment. The voice of the children is paramount within the club and staff continually seek their views, ideas and opinions, which inform planning of activities. For example, children have particularly enjoyed decorating stones. Consequently, this activity is repeated, enabling children to revisit their experience. Children are motivated to follow their own ideas and be independent learners and take part in a range of activities. For example, children enjoy developing their mark-making skills as they colour in decorative patterns. Staff support children's language and communication skills. They encourage children to share their adventures and experiences each day when they first arrive at the club. Staff are good role models. They know the children well and interact with them positively. Children in the early years are well supported in the setting. The

manager talks to teachers about children's interests and development so that activities complement their learning at school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children arrive happily at the club and friendly staff greet them. Children know the routine well. They are independent and gain good self-care skills. For instance, children independently wash their hands ready for snack and cut their own fruit. Snack time is a social occasion. Children make choices from a wide variety of freshly prepared foods. Staff are knowledgeable about children's individual dietary needs and preferences and meet them well. Children are keen to explore and confidently choose resources and lead their own play. They engage in lively conversations with staff and recall and relive past experiences. Staff make full use of the extensive outdoor play areas and support children to develop good physical skills. For instance, staff organise group games and support children to take turns and work as part of a team. Children describe how they enjoy attending and have a fun time. They form new and strong friendships with other children

who attend the club. Children show through their behaviour that they feel safe in the club. They know right from wrong and negotiate through play. Staff make good use of daily conversations to keep parents up to date about their child's time in the club.
