This provision is good

n An experienced, well-qualified leader manages the provision well. He has a strong commitment to reviewing practice and ensuring children have a welcoming, safe environment with good facilities to engage their interests. n Children enjoy their time at the club. Children engage in imaginary play and have opportunities to foster their creativity with resources such as glitter, paper and glue to make attractive pictures. n Children show good social skills, behave well and demonstrate care and respect for each other. n Parents are positive about the club's facilities. They state that they value the service and feel reassured that their children are safe and have fun. n Staff do not consistently engage children in discussion and involve them in the planning of the food they eat, to raise their awareness of healthy eating. n Although staff are qualified and have experience, there is room to develop their continued professional development further.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Children are safe within this secure school setting. Staff thoroughly check all areas that children use and ensure, for example, that external gates are secure before children play outside. The manager and staff work well as a team. They meet regularly to evaluate the activities and plan future events. For instance, after discussions with parents, the school and children, staff offer children opportunities to practise their reading aloud, which builds on their confidence and enhances what they do at school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a good range of activities that interest the different ages of the children who attend. Staff follow children's interests and enable them to make choices of the many resources. For instance, older children enjoy opportunities to play games on the computer while the younger members initially prefer quieter activities, such as drawing, colouring and creating collages. All children have fun in the spacious playground. They help themselves to resources, such as bats and balls, to practise their kicking and batting skills. Younger children persevere with perfecting their balancing techniques using equipment such as pedals and balance balls.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff show a genuine interest in children's play and offer encouragement and support, particularly for the younger newer members, which helps them to settle. Children learn about staying safe through daily routines and discussions. For example, they are reminded that it is not safe to climb on the raised grassed area in wet weather. Children particularly like group games, such as 'rock, paper, scissors', which staff supervise well to support children's positive behaviour. Children take turns and excitedly add up points. This helps them develop respect for each other and give others praise where appropriate. Children are encouraged to follow good hygiene routines and are competent at managing their personal needs. They benefit from daily active play outdoors and have access to plenty of drinking water, which supports their good health. Inside, there are comfortable areas for children to relax after their busy day at school.
