This provision is good

n Children's laughter and eagerness to engage are evident in all aspects of the club. They have very good opportunities to be energetic and physically active outdoors, where they enjoy the fresh air and exercise. n Children demonstrate through their behaviour that they are very happy and settled. They talk to each other with respect, understand the club rules and behave well. Staff's kind and gentle interaction effectively promotes this. n The well-organised stimulating environment supports both younger and older children to benefit from the active learning experiences on offer. Children of different ages play well together and parents comment that they particularly like this aspect of the club. n The leader has a good understanding of the club's strengths and areas in need of further development. She ensures her staff's skills complement each other to provide an interesting and balanced environment.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The leader has ensured that staff have completed safeguarding training. Staff understand their responsibilities to protect children from harm. They know who to contact should they have a concern about a child's welfare. The leader follows rigorous recruitment procedures to make sure staff are suitable to work with children. The good security system helps ensure that unauthorised persons cannot enter the premises after school hours. The leader gives good attention to ensuring children are supervised by a sufficient number of well-deployed staff. Staff supervision is effective in reviewing and developing practice. Leaders make effective use of self-evaluation to identify and target priorities for improvement. This includes the contribution of parents, children and staff. For example, parents wanted more meal choices. Therefore, in response, the club menu was revisited and provides healthy and satisfying choices.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a good range of activities to interest both younger and older children. Children's opinions are requested and respected. For example, children wanted to be able to play table tennis so the leader purchased equipment to maximise their enjoyment. Effective organisation enables children to play both indoors and outdoors by choice. Staff support the children to take appropriate risks and promote their physical development when they use the challenging climbing equipment. Staff make good use of young children's play to promote their communication skills, memory and cooperation. For example, when playing board games. Staff provide resources to develop children's ideas, for example when the children wanted to make ice creams to sell in their shop. Older children thoroughly enjoy the team games and use construction equipment imaginatively to make three-dimensional objects. Younger children enthusiastically run,

climb and use equipment resourcefully in the fresh air. Parents comment that the club provides a safe and stimulating environment, has approachable and friendly staff and that their children enjoy attending.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are positive role models for behaviour. Children behave well, are kind to each other and willingly share and take turns. Older children eagerly help younger children. For example, by lifting heavy tyres to help them make their house. Staff consistently use praise and encouragement, which helps raise children's self-esteem and confidence. Club staff share information with school staff to promote children's smooth transition into the club and to support children's individual needs. Staff have embedded good routines to keep children safe and promote their independence. Children follow the routines extremely well. For example, they hang their coats and bags in the cupboard, wear a tabard when playing outdoors and put their dirty crockery in the kitchenette. Children laugh often and comment that they like playing with their friends, enjoy the meals and delight in playing outdoors.
