Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff recognise the possible signs, symptoms and indicators of abuse and neglect. They understand the referral procedure and know what action to take should they become concerned about a child's welfare. They use risk assessments to minimise hazards and help ensure that children's safety is maintained at all times. Staff are deployed well. They regularly check the environment to ensure that it continues to be safe. For example, staff encourage children to ensure the floor remains clear to avoid trip hazards. Staff give the security of the premises a high priority. Staff complete up-to-date safeguarding and first-aid training to provide appropriate care for children. Managers' robust recruitment and induction procedures ensure that staff working with children are suitable to do so. Staff have regular supervision meetings and appraisals to identify their own strengths and areas for improvement. Staff develop good partnerships

with the host school. They share information daily with school staff to enhance consistency in children's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have high expectations for children and carefully plan a good range of activities. They make meaningful observations, complement learning from school and plan activities based on children's interests. Younger children enjoy craft activities and staff interact well, building on the skills children have already learnt. As children make mosaic pictures, staff use the opportunity to challenge children about their understanding of colours and numbers. Children become completely absorbed in the activity, demonstrating a great sense of pride in their creative work. Children use construction toys and small figures imaginatively to create their own play. They confidently make up their own games and have fun with their friends. Staff frequently encourage children to talk about their day at school and other events in their lives. They encourage children to speak in front of others, helping children to become confident communicators.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are well supported as the key-person system is effective. Children settle well and enjoy their time at the club. Staff are good role models. They develop a homely culture at the club and relationships between all children and staff are happy, relaxed and positive. Children are familiar with the routines of the club and operate with high levels of independence. Staff provide appropriate support, as necessary, while encouraging children to make their own plans and decisions. Staff generally promote children's good health well. They offer healthy meals and snacks and support children well to learn about hygiene. Staff support children well to learn about the differences and similarities of people in their community and the wider world. Children gain an understanding of different cultures and faiths as they talk about and explore different festivals.
