This provision is good

n There are strong links with the local nursery where many children transfer from when they move on to school.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. All staff have a secure understanding of child protection issues and know the procedure to follow if they have a concern about a child. There are effective risk assessments in place to secure children's safety as they walk from school with staff and when using vehicles to transport children. Staff carry out a daily check of the environment to ensure it is safe and suitable prior to children arriving. Staff are suitably vetted and inducted. They benefit from regular staff supervision sessions and staff meetings to ensure they are clear about their roles and responsibilities. Staff are regularly consulted and there is an action plan in place, which identifies further areas for development.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a environment where children can freely decide what to do from the activities on offer, which complements their day at school. Staff take advantage of the daylight hours during the winter months when children arrive. For example, children thoroughly enjoy playing team ball games and their favourite outdoor games with staff. Staff help children to understand the rules and help them to negotiate as they play. Children clearly enjoy the company of staff and easily talk about their ideas. Staff provide a wide range of opportunities for children to play imaginatively. For example, the role-play hospital area is popular with children and they spend a long time adopting roles and being imaginative. Children roll and mould the dough to make their creations. The holiday club programme of activities includes good opportunities for sports and leisure activities, and outings to places of interest.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff place a strong focus on helping children to keep safe. For example, staff teach children about internet safety and children clearly understand the rules in place at the club for their safety. Children benefit from a substantial snack after school, which is thoroughly enjoyed by children. For example, children help to make their own sandwiches and choose their savoury fillings, and help themselves to fruit and vegetables. Staff give children plenty of time to sit and talk, and relax as they eat their snack and socialise. Staff talk to children about the benefits of healthy foods on their bodies and about the importance of exercise. For example, children know that exercise makes their bodies strong and high-sugar foods should be limited. Staff help children to learn about their own and others' cultures through learning about various cultural festivals. Children learn to respect each other and older children are encouraged to care
