n Children are happy and confidently explore the interesting activities available to them. Staff form warm bonds with children.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management team welcome the views of others, such as parents and children, to help them evaluate and develop the setting's practices. For instance, the setting has recently developed the range of resources on offer following feedback from children, to help enhance their interest and enjoyment during activities. Leaders monitor staff's skills well, such as through regular supervisions. They offer good opportunities for staff to develop their skills, such as developing their safeguarding knowledge through staff training and quizzes. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders understand their responsibility to protect children and implement clear policies and procedures to ensure their welfare. Staff know how to recognise and report any signs that indicate a child may be at risk of harm.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children keenly explore the good range of activities available and enjoy staff's interactions with them. Overall, staff plan a broad variety of activities that interest children and encourage them to join in. Children concentrate well during activities they participate in. For example, they enjoy using materials to create pictures, such as chalk and paper, and focus well. They have good opportunities to be creative and practise their physical skills. Staff communicate with parents effectively. They regularly share information with parents about the activities they plan for children, to help keep parents well informed. Staff support children well during activities. For instance, they demonstrate to children how to do things, to help them learn to do things for themselves.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children behave well. Staff share their expectations with children, such as through regular reminders, to help them learn what the behavioural boundaries are in the setting. Children remind each other of the rules and understand what is acceptable behaviour. New children are warmly welcomed into the club and older children are keen to be their 'buddy', to help them settle in and feel like they belong. Staff effectively assess risks in all areas that children use to identify and remove any hazards. Staff teach children well about how to be healthy, such as by offering nutritious foods. Children have good opportunities to be active. For example, they have opportunities to run and play with footballs outside, to help develop their awareness of space and physical skills. Staff support children well to develop an understanding of good hygiene practices. For instance, they teach them to wash their hands before they eat.
