The provision is good

n Children are happy and settle well into the club. They form close attachments with staff and other children. This helps the children feel safe and secure and promotes their emotional well-being. n The partnership with parents is strong. Staff share relevant information with parents and value their ideas and suggestions. Parents comment positively on the good communication and on how well staff meet their children's needs. n Staff form positive relationships with the host school to ensure that their provision complements the care and learning children receive in school. n The management team uses effective systems to monitor staff performance. Managers and staff receive regular supervision and attend training to extend their knowledge and skills. This supports them to improve the quality of the provision and improve children's experiences.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and staff have completed safeguarding and 'Prevent' duty training and have a good understanding of child protection issues. They clearly know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about a child's welfare. They use their knowledge from training to discuss behaviour expectations with the children which supports them to learn respect and stay safe. Staff supervise the children closely throughout the session and ensure the environment is free from hazards. They are vigilant when collecting the children from school. Children wear high visibility vests and staff vigilantly check registers to ensure all children are accounted for.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are enthusiastic and children's play is enriched by their participation. Staff encourage conversation and communicate with children in a caring and positive manner. They introduce new words and extend on children's knowledge. For example, they learn the names for plurals of animals when making octopuses at the craft activity. Staff get to know the children well. They use information gathered from the children and parents when they start and plan activities to meet their needs. Ongoing information is also built on through shared partnership with class teachers. As a result, the children are keen to learn and participate in the activities. They enjoy making lemonade together, experiment by squeezing fresh lemons and discuss the taste. Staff extend the activity and the children add oranges which promotes language and discussion about the differences between bitter, sour and sweet tastes. Staff frequently praise children for their efforts

and contributions. Children enjoy using wool in their play, guessing the lengths and adding pasta. They work together and have fun trying to make the pasta move from one end to the other. Children continue to learn skills that support them with learning at school, such as writing their names on their work and testing each other with mathematical skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children settle well on their arrival to the club and are keen to share their good achievements with the staff. Children listen to the staff and behave well. They are given gentle reminders and show a good understanding of the club rules. For example, children discuss the rules while eating their food. Teatime is a social occasion, the staff sit with the children and they enjoy talking to each other. Staff prepare and provide children with healthy food, they encourage the children to try different foods and promote healthy lifestyles. Children take responsibility for their own hygiene routines and help to tidy away after teatime.
