This provision is good

n Children enjoy attending the club. They eagerly arrive and settle quickly. Good opportunities are provided for children to have an active voice in the setting.

who attend. n Staff teach children very well about respect, acceptance and tolerance. Children learn to understand families and communities different to their own. For example, they explore festivals and acknowledge and celebrate the differences between families. n At times, staff do not recognise opportunities to encourage children to complete manageable tasks for themselves, to support their independence as much as possible. n Staff do not fully benefit from highly effective methods of supervision and performance management to develop their practice to a consistently outstanding level.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff are clear about their roles and the procedures they must follow should they have concerns that a child is at risk of harm. They have an up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding issues, such as radicalisation. The manager and staff attend mandatory training programmes and keep up to date with changes in legislation. There are clear risk assessments to ensure areas children have access to are regularly reviewed for safety. Staff take appropriate action to ensure hazards are minimised. Staff are deployed effectively to help keep children safe. Robust recruitment and vetting procedures are in place to ensure that all staff are suitable to work with children. Effective partnerships with the host school help staff to support high levels of continuity in children's experiences and well-being. Parents comment that they are very happy with the service provided and their children enjoy attending the club.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Throughout the club, children are engaged, busy and make good use of the environment. Staff provide a wide range of suitable resources and activities for children to choose from. These are changed on a daily basis so that children's interest is maintained. Staff interact well with children and this helps children to extend their communication skills. Staff regularly praise their efforts and achievements. Younger children enjoy playing with the small-world resources and role play, such as in the pretend hairdressers. Children clearly appreciate staff joining in with their play and often invite them to join in with games and activities. Older children develop a good range of skills to support their future development. For instance, they are encouraged to count and problem-solve when playing board games. Children's imagination is celebrated very well. Children play collaboratively with each other during activities such as den building

and when designing and making paper aeroplanes.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The staff know the children and their families well and care practices are good. Children are allocated a key person to ensure their individual needs are met. Children display good levels of confidence and engage well with staff and visitors. Staff act as good role models and help children learn how to take turns, listen to others and form secure friendships. Children behave well in relation to their age and stage of development. Staff provide opportunities for children to learn about a healthy lifestyle, for example through the nutritious snacks they provide. Children know how they must wash their hands before they eat. Staff meet children's dietary needs in partnership with parents. Children's physical skills develop well. They thrive in the outdoor area which they have free access to. Children confidently negotiate space and practise balancing as they play on scooters.
