Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good understanding of what to do if they are concerned about a child in their care. They implement the club's clear procedures and risk assessments effectively, to help keep children safe. The manager and committee ensure vetting procedures for staff and all committee members are thorough. They lead effective systems for recruiting, inducting and supervising staff. The manager is aware of the importance of ensuring that the staff team remains knowledgeable and skilled. She supports staff to attend mandatory and some additional training and leads ongoing professional development opportunities. Parents speak highly of the service at the club. They comment positively on the varied activities and extensive opportunities for children's play outdoors.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff make good use of all the areas available, to offer children varied and stimulating activities and different environments to explore. They readily involve children in the plans for the day. They discuss choices and help children appreciate the views of others as they negotiate which activities or areas they will go to next. They manage the needs and preferences of the children effectively, to keep them all happy and engaged in their play. Staff link well to children's known interests, such as planning a potion making activity. Children of all ages are eager to explore the interesting resources. Staff use probing questions to encourage and inspire younger children to 'have a go' and develop their ideas and their descriptive language. Children enjoy the sensory nature of the materials as they experiment using real spices and food items. Children talk about their plans and special names for their potions. They notice and discuss changes and adaptations as

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff encourage children to be independent, develop their practical skills and a sense of responsibility well. For example, children help themselves to food and clear away their things when they have finished. They take care of their personal belongings and tidy away resources. Children enjoy the social aspects of the club. They say that they like the club's teachers and enjoy playing with their friends. Children are polite and respectful to the staff and each other. Younger children mix confidently with older children and join in freely with a range of games. Children have good opportunities to be physically active. For example, they use the playground to develop their bicycle and scooter skills. They relish playing football with their friends on the large field and have great fun on rope swings as they play imaginative games in the natural woodland area. Staff extend children's options further, such as using the spacious hall for den making activities.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children readily use the tables and benches and work cooperatively to create enclosed spaces for their play. Children also enjoy quieter games and snack time up in the club's main room. Staff offer children a good balance of experiences and activities, active and rest times throughout the day, to maintain their emotional and physical well-being.
