p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. All staff have attended relevant training and have updated their skills in regards to child protection issues. They are very aware of different signs of abuse and neglect, and know what to do if they have concerns a child may be at risk of extremism. The manager works closely with staff, parents and children to evaluate the setting. They are now in a more informed position to plan improvements and ensure these have a positive impact on the children. Staff explain that they find the manager supportive and it is clear that the staff team works very well together. Members of the committee are responsible for recruiting new staff and the manager is provided with relevant information and encouraged to act as a mentor. Parents are kept informed about their child's experiences and staff try to link children's learning at school to relevant activities at the club. This helps to promote consistency of support and learning.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children visibly enjoy spending time with their friends. Younger children feel secure and safe, happily chatting with older children at mealtimes and during play. Staff know children's interests very well and ensure the activities and resources reflect these. Children are very independent and they lead their play, with staff nearby to ask challenging questions and extend their thinking. Children enjoy making up their own board games, which they then share with their friends. Staff provide lots of encouragement and praise for their ideas and children eagerly seek out staff to share their achievements. Children have high levels of self-esteem and clearly value one another.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children enjoy accessing the outdoors and having space to be active. They enjoy a variety of filling, cooked meals, which they sit to eat together. Children enjoy participating in a wide range of activities that helps them to explore and consider other people's similarities and differences. Staff are very aware of children's backgrounds and encourage children to get to know people they do not usually sit or play with. This helps them to make new friends. Many of the older children enjoy helping others. They happily teach other children a new skill, while offering lots of praise and encouragement. This helps all children feel valued and raises their self-esteem. Children enjoy being independent, for example, as they help to prepare tables for meals and when pouring their own drinks.
