This provision is good

n Staff create a warm, welcoming and carefully arranged environment for children to play, explore and relax in. n Children of all ages play well together and volunteer that they enjoy attending the club, so they can 'see their friends'. They are confident, happy and engaged in the wide range of activities on offer. n Staff liaise well with teachers at the host school. They find out what children are doing in class, so they can extend this learning in the club. For example, when children begin to develop early reading skills, staff complement this learning with specific tailor-made games. n Partnerships with parents are good. Parents say their children really enjoy attending the club and staff are very accommodating of their needs. n At times, staff practice is not monitored closely enough to help to identify areas where this can be raised to an even higher level. n Occasionally, staff complete tasks for children that they are capable of doing for

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a good knowledge of child protection issues and wider safeguarding matters. They have recently attended safeguarding training and know what to do if they are concerned about a child's welfare. They visually risk assess the premises and outdoor areas prior to children arriving, to help ensure the areas are safe for children to use. Staff evaluate what they offer children and ask parents and children for their views to help to improve the club. They take into account children's requests and new games are purchased to aid children's enjoyment in the club. Staff have a termly action plan in place to help them to focus on what they need to improve on next.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children enter the club happily. They eagerly engage in conversations with their peers and staff and talk about their school day. Children choose if they want to play indoors or outside and have access to a wide variety of activities. They develop their physical skills as they steer wheeled toys, kick footballs and play tennis. They play imaginatively as they pretend to be a baby and crawl around the room. Staff complement children's learning in school. For example, they offer a sand tray containing different letters and challenge children to find the letters in their name. Staff continue the school theme of 'peace' and children make pictures of doves to reinforce this learning. Children enjoy painting and talk about their pictures as they paint. Older children are able to find a quiet area to complete their homework and staff offer support, when needed.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Younger children settle well into the club. They learn to share the resources and they take turns with the marble run. They enjoy playing football outdoors. Older children play collaboratively with younger children and involve them in their play as they make a den. Children use good manners as they are polite in their interactions with each other. Healthy options of fruit, breadsticks and cheese are available for children to eat after their day at school. Children explore different festivals, such as Chinese New Year. They make pigs and lanterns linked to this festival. Children behave well and staff offer plenty of praise and encouragement and value their contributions. This helps to build children's self-esteem and self-confidence.
