Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Good organisation means this club runs efficiently. Since the last inspection the management team has reviewed its systems and strengthened some areas. For example, there is now an identified key person responsible for the well-being of children in the early years. The methods of supervision provide staff with additional support and the club is building on partnership working. For example, staff are vigilant in their communication with parents and teachers with regard to monitoring events that may affect children's welfare. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recent training has further raised staff's awareness of the procedures to keep children safe. All staff know the signs where a child is at risk and the action to take to protect their safety and welfare.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff plan a wide range of activities and resources that supports children's independent play. There are places for children to be quiet and relax, and they use these well to look at books and chat with their friends. Children delight in playing games outside. For example, they count the goals they achieve while playing football and they judge distances rolling hoops. Inside, children enjoy perfecting their physical skills playing games, such as pool or table-top games. Children enjoy the fun and competition as well building firm friendships.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff supervise children well and help to raise their awareness of safety, particularly during their journey from school to the club. Children know how to behave, keep together and recognise hazards, when crossing roads. The atmosphere in the club is happy and children play very well together. The older children include younger members of the group so all children feel included. For example, when playing football, older children ensure that the less confident, younger children have opportunities to kick the ball and take an active part in the game. They also praise each other when they score goals, showing that they value and recognise the skills of their friends. Children benefit from healthy outdoor exercise and enjoy a nutritious variety of hot and cold food. Children like the independence of making choices and develop their sandwich-making skills.
