p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The management team and staff work well together to provide a friendly club for the children. Staff benefit from appropriate team meetings and have regular opportunities to update their training and knowledge. For example, staff have been trained in food hygiene to help them understand the risk of cross-contamination and the importance of safe storage of food. Safeguarding is effective. Staff know the signs and indicators of child protection issues and are aware of the referral procedures to follow if they suspect a child is at risk. Partnerships with teachers working with the children during the day is strong. For example, staff collect the children from their classroom, to allow club staff the opportunity to have daily discussions with teachers about the children's time at school.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff support the children well and offer a good range of activities to help them to relax after a day at school. Children are suitably entertained at the club and have fun. They enjoy exploring their physical skills outside and have good opportunities to explore with quieter activities inside. For example, outside, children enjoy experimenting with wands to create different sized bubbles, which they chase after to pop. Inside, the children enjoy investigating with creative materials to make models and pop-up toys. Staff interact and play well with the children to offer good entertainment. For instance, together they have fun playing board games and enjoy amusing themselves as they follow a series of commands with the electronic musical toys. Staff support children's communication and language skills well and use questions to form conversations to further develop these skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children mix and play kindly with each other, behaving well overall. Older and younger children enjoy physical games together, which contributes to their fitness. For instance, they have fun as they play hide and seek, and others enjoy participating in athletic games, where they jump over and climb under ropes. Staff encourage children to be independent. For example, children confidently access resources they would like to play with and assertively collect their own food from the self-serving table for their tea. Children benefit from staff's consistent and effective praise, which supports their emotional development.
