This is a provision that requires improvement

n The provider has not submitted details of the club's committee members to Ofsted. This is a breach of requirements. However, this does not have a significant impact on the children's safety and well-being as suitability checks have been conducted. n The manager has not introduced a targeted programme of professional development to further enhance the quality of teaching and learning. n Staff have not fully considered ways to support children to develop their understanding of the similarities and differences between their own and other cultures, traditions and experiences.

They set a good example through their calm approach and friendly manner. n Staff keep parents well informed about children's daily achievements.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management requires improvement

The leadership and management team is unsure about its responsibilities to inform Ofsted of changes to the committee. It has failed to inform Ofsted of new committee members. This means committee member's suitability cannot be assured. However, these committee members have Disclosure and Barring Service checks in place. They do not have any recruitment responsibilities or opportunities to be alone with children. Although this is a breach of requirements, the impact on children is minimal. Safeguarding is effective. Staff undergo robust recruitment checks and ongoing checks to help ensure their suitability to work with children. The manager provides staff with regular supervision and training that helps them to understand their child protection responsibilities. The manger and staff consider the views of the committee and parents in making well-planned improvements. Parents are very complimentary about the service

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children arrive animated and excited from school. They settle quickly and are eager to access the wide range of play experiences. Staff provide a good variety of activities that are suitable for the wide age range of the children who attend the club. They deploy themselves well and interact enthusiastically to guide and enhance children's play. Children enjoy sewing and show control over their movements as they make careful stitches and decorate felt butterflies. They share resources and excitedly discuss the different patterns their peers have created. Staff plan activities that compliment the school curriculum. For example, the children make biscuits and decorate them to look like spring animals. They talk about the features of spring with staff as they complete the biscuit activity. The youngest children are well looked after and develop secure friendships with their friends. For example, older children patiently read stories to

younger children and chat to them about their day. Staff know children well. They complete regular observations to monitor children's overall progress and identify any areas where they need extra support.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff are positive role models and help children to consider the feelings of others. They constantly praise children for their efforts to build their confidence and self-esteem successfully. The atmosphere in the club is calm and orderly. Children are helpful and help to set up toys and resources when they arrive at the club. They listen to staff and are cooperative and well behaved. Children enjoy choosing healthy and nutritious ingredients when making their own sandwiches. Staff encourage children to drink plenty of water. Children have daily opportunities to exercise and play outdoors. They enjoy participating in sports activities, such as basketball competitions. Children receive praise and encouragement, which builds their confidence and self-esteem.
