Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a good knowledge of their roles and responsibilities to protect children from harm. They understand what they must do if they are concerned about a child in their care. The manager ensures all staff are well deployed to enable them to supervise children's play effectively. Staff have robust systems in place for keeping children safe, including through completing risk assessments of the premises to check they are suitable. For example, they use radios to communicate with one another when children are moving between the indoor and outdoor areas. They track their journey and ensure they report to one another that children have been accounted for when they arrive outdoors. They regularly carry out head counts to ensure they keep track of where children are. The committee members implement effective recruitment and vetting procedures and provide good support for

staff to ensure all adults are suitable for their role and understand their responsibilities. Staff benefit from robust induction procedures which help them be clear about their roles and responsibilities.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children come into the club happily after their day at school. Staff provide a good range of resources that they know will interest the children. This helps all children find something to play with that they enjoy. Staff encourage creativity. They provide children with a range of art and craft materials to create things that they design themselves. Staff provide activities that follow themes to help children learn about cultural festivals and events. For example, they bake Welsh cakes on St David's Day. Staff observe children and use this information well, along with their knowledge of the children, to deliver activities and experiences that interest them. Staff help children to make friends and support their social development well. For example, they encourage older children to share their ideas for creative activities with younger children who show an interest in what they are doing.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff promote the key-person system well. Children build close relationships with their key person. Staff are good role models to children. They are respectful of their self- chosen play, knowing when to join in and when to step back to give them time to themselves. Staff promote healthy lifestyles. For example, they provide a good range of nutritious and healthy snacks that children enjoy. Staff support children to be independent. They encourage children to serve their own snacks from a sharing bowl on the table. Staff help children to follow rules and children are clear about the boundaries. Staff provide children with regular praise for their achievements, which helps to boost their self-esteem and makes them feel valued.
