p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The manager and staff regularly attend child protection training, including following the 'Prevent' duty guidance. They have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities to protect children and to keep them safe from harm. All staff are aware of the procedure to follow should they have concerns about the welfare of a child in their care. Staff carry out regular risk assessments to help keep the premises safe and secure. The manager follows a robust recruitment procedure and has an effective induction programme in place. Regular meetings with staff ensure their continued suitability to work with children and that they understand their role within the club. Parents are enthusiastic about the club and keen to share their praise for the staff. The manager and owner show a strong commitment to improving the provision and providing a good-quality service for children.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are busy and engaged throughout their time at the club. Staff plan a wide range of activities which they know children will enjoy. For example, children enjoy measuring and mixing ingredients for science experiments and excitedly wait to see if their volcano will erupt. Children are able to lead their own play or join activities as they wish. They display high levels of concentration, for example, when finding the letters of their name and other decorations to place on the greetings card they are creating to celebrate Christmas. Children talk enthusiastically about their time at the club and share stories of past activities they have enjoyed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children demonstrate that they feel safe and secure at the club. They have developed positive relationships with staff and eagerly participate in their activities. Staff support children well to be independent. They encourage children to select and make their own snack, then tidy their things away afterwards. Children have many opportunities to learn about the importance of having a healthy lifestyle. For example, they regularly play team games, such as football and tag, outside in the secure playground. Staff provide opportunities for children to learn about the backgrounds of others and the wider world. This is demonstrated when children learn to sing their favourite pop song. Children learn how to respect and value others, developing a positive approach to diversity.
