p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The provider takes suitable steps to ensure the suitability of those she employs to work with children. Staff know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. Parents speak highly of the staff. They find them approachable and helpful. The provider and manager welcome their feedback, which helps them improve the provision and continue to maintain good standards. The provider ensures that staff receive the training and support they need to fulfil the requirements of their roles. Staff help children well to take part in, and learn from, the activities on offer. The manager builds useful partnerships with staff at the host school. Staff use these well to meet the individual needs of each child effectively. The manager has plans to develop this aspect of practice still further.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children use the resources and take part in the planned activities. For example, they are keen to take part in a baking activity. Staff encourage them to use their developing mathematical skills to measure out ingredients. Children develop their creativity. For example, they play imaginatively with the resources on offer and enjoy making up games with their friends. They use their hand- to-eye coordination as they build towers and make models. They enjoy practising further the skills they are developing at school. For example, reading books, drawing pictures and writing words. Staff adapt what they do well to meet the particular needs of the younger children. For example, they check that they understand questions and keep them close beside them during some activities so they can offer help, if needed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are very confident. For example, younger children approach visitors to ask them questions and enjoy telling them all about the club. They are developing a good range of independence skills. For example, they confidently serve their own snacks and know where to keep their own belongings to keep them safe. Staff are good role models. For example, they join in with games of football enthusiastically. Children behave well. They are learning to stay safe, such as when moving between school and the club. They understand why they must tell a member of staff when they are moving between indoors and out. Staff ensure that children have plenty to drink and healthy snacks.
