The provision is good

n Children are enthusiastic about attending the club and make good attachments with staff. Children settle well and staff help them gain confidence in making decisions and choosing what they want to do. n Staff are good role models.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff clearly understand the procedures to follow should they have concerns about a child. They are aware of current legislation and the procedures to follow if they are concerned about a child's welfare. The manager works closely with the provider to ensure that safe recruitment is followed and staff are suitable to work with children. They manager supports staff's professional development effectively. She carries out inductions, supervisions and appraisals to help ensure ongoing practice is good. There is a very close relationship with the school staff. For example, relevant information is shared to help ensure children receive consistent care. This also helps staff to know about children's current and ongoing development needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children thoroughly enjoy their time in the club. Staff provide a broad range of enjoyable activities and resources to promote children's enjoyment while at the club. For example, some children decide to solve problems. They work out how to move the toy cars from one log to another log, by using different sizes of drain pipes. Other children decide to build dens and some create pyjamas for a bear. Staff's interactions with children are of a high quality. For example, they know when to join in children's activities and have meaningful discussions. This helps to support and extend children's communication and social skills. Children have opportunities to continue with their learning from school if they want to. For example, staff offer them chances to do their homework and offer them help where necessary.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The environment is inviting and well organised. Staff develop strong, respectful and secure relationships with the children through their key-person system. Staff know the children well and plan activities depending on their interests. Children are happy and enjoy the freedom they are given to independently explore the experiences on offer. Staff promote children's personal and social skills effectively. Children follow good hygiene procedures. For example, they wash their hands before sitting down to eat. They independently pour drinks and clear their own plates away at the end of teatime time. During mealtime, children socialise well together and talk about their school day. Staff support children's understanding of safety. For example, they teach children about the dangers of strangers and using mobile devices sensibly.
