Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of child protection issues. They know how to identify and report concerns about the welfare of a child. The provider's recruitment and vetting procedures are robust. She undertakes several checks to make sure that staff are suitable to work with children. Staff carry out daily risk assessments to minimise potential hazards and enable children to play safely. The provider ensures all relevant records are in place, and are confidential and well maintained to support the health and well-being of the children. Staff have good links with the school where children also attend. This helps to ensure that children's individual needs are met well.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make good use of the information gathered from teachers in the school to provide opportunities to develop children's existing skills. In addition, the club takes part in celebrating the school's cultural events. This helps to promote continuity in children's learning, such as children's growing awareness of diversity. The provider and staff encourage children to develop their communication skills. For example, they ask children about their day at school and other events in their lives. Staff encourage all children to learn to use the computers. They give children good support to help build up their skills and confidence in using information and communication technology aids. Children learn skills in using a mouse. They also learn skills in reading keyboard symbols and to know what they do. Staff promote children's physical development well. They offer children lots of opportunities to be physically active. Children demonstrate good skills with balls,

such as throw, catching and kicking. Staff encourage children to learn to use a skipping rope and rotate hoops around their waist.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

This enables them to have a good understanding of children's individual needs and help children to feel settled. Children develop a good understanding of healthy of lifestyles. They know to wash their hands before meals. Children learn the importance of eating healthily and enjoy being involved in selecting fillings, such as turkey, tuna or cheese for their sandwiches.
