Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and her staff are knowledgeable about the signs of child abuse. They understand the procedures to follow if they have concerns that a child is at risk of harm. Staff attend regular child protection training to keep their knowledge up to date. The manager follows comprehensive recruitment procedures to ensure new staff have the right skills to support and protect children. She encourages staff to take up professional development opportunities that enhance their skills. For example, some staff have learned more about planning activities that specifically engage boys. There is effective communication between club staff and the school. Teachers keep staff advised of any accidents or incidents during the school day. The manager meets with Reception teachers to share ideas for supporting young children's learning at the club. Parents value the club and praise staff for their hard work.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

They comment that communication is excellent and believe the club is a safe and stimulating place.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff collaborate with children to plan and provide activities that take account of children's current interests. Children make independent choices from a wide range of available resources and spend their time in enjoyable play. They delight in taking part in creative activities, such as making firework pictures using glitter and paint. Children make good use of the outdoor areas. Some play ball games energetically, others use their imaginations as they build 'rockets' and pretend to be astronauts. Children use the skills they learn in school, for example, as they write out their wish lists for new activities. The manager and her team evaluate the activities routinely. They regularly ask children and parents for their views on enhancing the provision.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children say they enjoy attending the club. They play together harmoniously and develop strong friendships. Children understand and follow rules for good behaviour. They cooperate in group activities, such as building models with interlocking bricks, and show they can share resources well. Staff take good account of children's individual needs after a busy day at school. For example, they provide weary children with a comfortable corner where they can relax and read books. Staff join in with children's play and help them to participate fully in the activities.
