resources and express their creativity as they use materials to compile their own special Easter cards. They take great pride in their achievements and enjoy sharing these with visitors, staff and their friends. n Occasionally, children lose interest during some group times, as these are sometimes too long, and they are eager to play with the activities on offer. n Although safer recruitment procedures are followed, on occasions, the manager does not ensure all records and inductions are detailed enough to clearly explain the expectations of the new staff.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager ensures staff complete training and gain a secure knowledge of child protection procedures. Overall, staff have clear understanding of their role and responsibility for keeping children safe and secure. This includes regular checks to ensure the safety of children's play areas. The manager evaluates the effectiveness of the club and values the views of parents, children and staff. For example, she has been working on improving the resources available for outdoor play and purchased new storage and equipment following feedback from parents. Staff attend training to support their professional development and to directly impact on the children's learning. For example, one staff member has attended training to teach children to successfully manage conflict between each other. These strategies have been used to have a positive impact on children's behaviour.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide good opportunities for children to choose activities and they offer them support and encouragement. Children particularly enjoy creative activities and express their originality when making necklaces and Easter crafts. Staff are effective in giving children time and space to develop their own ideas. This has a positive effect on their confidence. Some children enjoy working together as they explore the construction toys, while others enjoy spending time talking to friends. Staff show interest in children's play and motivate them to take part with enthusiasm. For example, children enjoy playing parachute games with a member of staff and cheer with excitement as they develop their physical skills. Overall, children are happy, concentrate well and show good levels of engagement.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff have a warm, welcoming and friendly manner, which helps children to feel safe and secure. Children arrive confidently and are eager to talk about their day and what they have been learning at school. Caring staff find out children's interests from parents before children start and make sure these are used when activity planning. This helps children to feel welcome and settle quickly. Staff know the children and interact well with them. They listen attentively to children and praise them as they share well, make up games and play together. This helps to support good social and communication skills. Despite the wide age range and the different schools the children attend, all children are at ease and happy at the club. Children have access to the outdoors, enjoying fresh air and vigorous exercise. Staff help to extend children's physical skills. For example, children enjoy running around as they play various large group games. Children learn to

manage risk for themselves, such as handling scissors safely.
