p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management is good
Safeguarding is effective. There is rigorous recruitment, vetting and induction of staff. As a result, staff are suitable and understand their roles and responsibilities. Good organisation means staff know who to contact if they have concerns about a child. Staff receive appropriate training to keep them up to date with safeguarding issues. Staff receive effective supervision, which aids them in reviewing and developing their practice. There are good systems for receiving feedback from parents, staff and children. These are used to support improvements. For example, parents want their children to have support with their homework. So, in response, the club has planned a homework club.
p.3
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good
There is a well-organised procedure for collecting children from the host school. Staff liaise very closely with teachers to share information about children's learning and well- being. This contributes towards ensuring children are settled, assured and happy in the transition to the club. Staff strongly encourage children to 'have a voice' and their interests lead the activities. This helps to motivate both young and older children to play, learn and achieve. Children build good social skills. For example, 'friendship groups' support older children to guide younger children. Staff make good use of young children's play to promote their communication skills, vocabulary and imagination, for example when using 'touch and feel boxes' while learning about dinosaurs. Staff promote children's physical development effectively. Older children thoroughly enjoy the team games and younger children run around enthusiastically in the fresh air, using their
p.3
Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good
Staff create an inclusive environment that reflects the diverse needs of all children. The manager knows the children exceptionally well, which enables her to meet their individual needs effectively. Children have positive relationships with the kind and friendly staff. Staff consistently use praise and encouragement, which helps to raise children's self-esteem and confidence. Children make friends with each other and willingly share and take turns. Staff are excellent role models for behaviour. Children listen, show respect for each other and are clear about the rules. Parents comment that the club provides a safe and stimulating environment and their children thoroughly enjoy attending.
