Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff are secure in their knowledge about the procedures to follow if they are concerned about children's welfare or a member of staff. They attend relevant training to help ensure that their knowledge is up to date. The provider follows rigorous recruitment and vetting procedures to help ensure that staff working with children are suitable to do so. The provider and the management team carry out regular supervision meetings to help support the ongoing development of staff's skills. They regularly check staff's knowledge and understanding about their roles and responsibilities, and encourage staff training. For instance, some staff are starting relevant qualifications to increase their knowledge and understanding about meeting children's needs. Managers and staff check all areas and resources used by children to help ensure they are safe to use.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enjoy their time at the well-organised club and decide when to play indoors or outdoors. They are able to follow their interests, such as playing ball games. Staff talk to children kindly and show genuine interest in them. For instance, children enjoy making models from dough. Staff help them to express their thoughts and ideas about their creations and demonstrate how to effectively use the resources provided. As a result, children confidently use scissors, cutters and colouring pens. They enjoy drawing and playing board games. This helps to support their ongoing learning. Staff are alert to children's different needs and involve children in the planning of activities. For example, children choose the games that they wish to play during their Christmas party.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff ensure new children feel welcome to the club. For instance, staff and other children explain the routine of the day. Staff provide reassurance as necessary to help them to develop a sense of belonging. They work well with parents to learn as much as possible about the children before they start. Staff are aware of children's dietary needs and provide a variety of nutritious options for their snack. They encourage children to develop healthy eating habits and remind them about following good hygiene routines. Children have opportunities to practise their physical skills. For example, they enjoy making up various dance moves and playing in the enclosed school grounds. Children demonstrate that they are aware of how to keep themselves safe. For example, they remind each other to give themselves enough space during a popular music-and- movement game.
