n Children have a great time at the club. They enthusiastically tell the inspector about all the fun they have and the many activities they can choose from. Staff carefully consider children's interests and use these to plan interesting and engaging activities. n The manager has made significant progress since her last inspection. She has employed a deputy manager who helps her accurately assess the quality of practice and plan relevant improvements, which impact positively on children. n Children are confident and very settled. They have close friendships with each other and enjoy the company and conversation of staff, who know them very well. n Although the manager provides some informal feedback to staff about the quality of their practice, there are not regular appraisal meetings to plan focused, personal coaching and support programmes. n While recruitment procedures are effective, some records particularly relating to the

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager is highly qualified and has a clear vision for how she would like to continue to develop the setting. She reviews the quality of practice regularly and actively encourages parents and children to share their ideas, which are then implemented. For example, following children's suggestions, children now elect monitors who plan games and activities for their younger friends. Staff have a clear awareness of how to keep children safe. They are able to recognise the signs of abuse and neglect and know how to respond to these. Staff are vigilant when collecting children from school, reminding them about road safety and completing regular head counts as they walk together. Safeguarding is effective. Staff explain that they feel supported by the manager who works alongside them. Parents also speak very highly of the manager and of how she operates the club. Parents who have children with special educational needs and/or

disabilities explain how staff have gone out of their way to support their child's needs discreetly and share important information with them and other professionals who are involved in their care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are very happy and settled. They enjoy a wide range of activities that are specifically planned from what staff know about their interests. Children enjoy making up stories as they dress up in a range of outfits, while other children colour and make bracelets. Staff encourage children to join in and participate in different activities, raising their self-esteem and encouraging them to develop new skills. Children are developing high levels of independence, taking responsibility for their own belongings and making choices about what they do.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children greatly enjoy being able to play outdoors in a wide open space. Some choose to play football together, with staff joining in providing encouragement and praise. There are very close friendships at the club and children of all ages mix very well together. Children enjoy getting to know each other and are very respectful. The youngest children sit at mixed tables for tea where they enjoy home cooked meals, such as spaghetti and meatballs. Children are learning how to keep themselves safe, for example, they know why it is a good idea to wear high visibility jackets on the walk home from school. Children risk assess themselves during play, for example, noticing a potential hazard and moving their football nets to a different area of the garden.
