Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Children are well supervised at all times. Staff deploy themselves well to ensure children are always kept safe. They routinely record all accidents, share information about them with parents and monitor their regularity to help them maintain children's well-being. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff attend regular training courses so that they can learn to identify the main signs and symptoms of abuse. The manager is confident to make a referral if she has any concerns about the welfare of a child. Parents are positive about the club provision. They report that the staff know their children well and they are impressed by the good range of experiences on offer. The manager provides good opportunities for staff development. For example, she offers opportunities for staff to discuss any concerns they might have or ideas they would like to share.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are well qualified and dedicated to their roles in helping children to thrive while at the club. They provide a wide range of rich, varied and imaginative play experiences. This means that children have access to toys and resources that help to complement their learning and development. For example, craft activities are carefully planned to complement the basic skills younger children are learning and developing at school, such as using scissors and handwriting. Children show good levels of engagement during planned activities. They demonstrate good listening and attention skills as they follow a set of verbal instructions. For example, children create their own bumble bee or butterfly using various materials and resources available to them. They are extremely proud of what they have made and show friends and family their achievements. Staff actively get involved with children's play. They sit on the floor alongside children and make their own

building block creations, offering support and talking to the children about how to develop their own ideas further.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children are happy and settled at the club. They get to know staff well and feel safe in the familiar environment of their own school. Staff find out about children's likes and dislikes and dietary needs from their parents, when children first start in the setting. This helps to ensure children's safety, health and well-being. Children of different ages play well together. Older children share their expertise with the younger children as they take turns to make decisions. Children enjoy a range of healthy snacks and drinks. Mealtimes are social occasions where children form friendships and share their experiences with others. Staff understand how to positively manage children's behaviour. They know how to help children to build relationships, encouraging them to consider the needs of others and to share and take turns. Children enjoy their play outdoors in the school playground. They have a large range of play equipment to choose from and learn to take risks in a

safe environment when using the climbing equipment. Children are developing their confidence and becoming resilient learners.
