p.1

The provision is good

n The management works well with staff and keeps them up to date effectively with new practice and current guidelines. n The manager and staff monitor children's progress and identify any gaps in development and put plans in place to help ensure all children make good progress. n Children's behaviour is good. The management and staff are good role models and effectively encourage children to behave well. n Children follow good hygiene procedures.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management and staff have a good relationship with parents and children that attend. Parents and children speak positively about their experiences at the club. For example, children say they enjoy attending. The management is supportive and helps staff improve their practice, such as with effective training to support children who have special educational needs and/or disabilities. The manager seeks the views of colleagues, parents and children well. For instance, during 'feedback Friday' children reflect and evaluate activities. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know what to do if they have a concern about children's welfare and know who to contact. Staff work well with parents, for example, after feedback they now provide a quiet room for children to complete their homework. Since the last inspection, managers have enhanced the way they work with the school children attend to complement and build on children's

experiences to help them build further on their existing skills.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff ask challenging questions and children are encouraged to think for themselves. They focus and engage in activities for long periods of time and play well together. Children play team games and understand simple rules. Older children 'buddy up' with younger children to help them get used to the routines of the setting and hold younger children's hands when helping to escort them from the school to the club. Staff support children in building their confidence and independence effectively. For instance, they encourage children to choose healthy ingredients, such as peppers, cucumber and hummus, to make pitta bread wraps. The environment is friendly and welcoming. Staff smile and chat to parents as they arrive to collect their children. Staff engage well with children and meet their individual needs effectively.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children and staff treat each other with respect. Children choose their own activities and are happy and settled. Children have good relationships with staff. For example, staff praise children to help encourage their developing self-esteem. Staff support children to be conscious of their own safety, such as being aware of the environment and of the safety of others. For instance, older children remind younger children to stay on the inside and keep away from the kerb when crossing the road. The management and staff promote healthy living effectively. Children learn about the importance of healthy eating and learn the dangers of hidden sugars in foods and how this can have a detrimental effect on their teeth. Children are aware of their own needs. For instance, they are able to help themselves to water and go to the toilet when they need to, as they do at school.
