Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The manager is hardworking and dedicated. She runs the club well, making sure her staff team are well organised and prepared ahead of children's arrival at the setting after school. Self reflection is accurate and the manager notes clear areas for further development which are already being addressed. Children are well supervised at all times. Staff deploy themselves well to ensure children are always kept safe. The manager carries out daily risk assessments on the classroom that is used by the club and the outdoor areas. This helps to ensure that any hazards to children are minimised and that children can play safely. Parents are positive about the club provision. They comment that the club is good value and that children enjoy the activities on offer. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff attend regular training courses so that they can learn to identify the main signs and symptoms of abuse. The manager is

confident to make a referral if she has any concerns about the welfare of a child.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Well-qualified staff know the children they care for well. They plan activities which they know children will enjoy. Staff are aware that some children want to rest and unwind after a busy day at school. There is provision for children to relax, read or play a quiet game if they chose. Other children chose to take part in football coaching sessions. They enjoy the opportunity to test their skills in kicking and passing the ball. Children are very proud to receive a certificate at the end of the session to congratulate them on taking part and playing well.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled at the club. They get to know their key person well and feel safe in the familiar environment of their own school. They enjoy a range of healthy snacks and drinks after they come into the club from their day in school. Children behave well. They understand the clear boundaries and expectations that staff have of them. They learn to take take turns with resources and games. There is plenty of opportunity for children to develop and test their physical skills. Children enjoy their play outdoors in the school playground. They have a large range of play equipment to chose from. There are also ample opportunities for children to run and exercise in the school hall when the weather is poor.
