Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Recruitment and selection procedures are secure. The manager and staff build their knowledge and skills through professional development opportunities. For example, developing their awareness of the 'Prevent' duty legislation. Staff have a good understanding of the various signs of harm and neglect. They are fully aware of the referral procedures for raising a concern about a child in their care. Children play in a safe and secure environment. Effective procedures are in place for the safe arrival and departure of children. Children are not released into the care of unknown adults. Communication between the school and the club is good. This ensures continuity in care for all children. Staff build and maintain secure relationships with parents from the start. Parents are very happy with the club. They particularly like the activities their children engage in and the caring, approachable staff.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Close relationships form between staff, children and their peers. Children eagerly enter the club and settle very quickly into the activities. These complement children's abilities and reflect topics in school. Staff welcome the ideas of children when planning activities. They support children's language and communication skills during all activities. Children relish being creative. They enjoy using materials such as glitter, felt-tip pens, foam letters and stickers to decorate their own sun visors. Children explain to staff why it is important to wear them in the sun to protect their eyes. Older children encourage younger children to join in with their games. For example, playing games where children must guess what they are doing or the title of a film they are acting out. Children use their imagination well. They enjoy using small-world figures of people, such as pirates sailing across the sea on pirate ships collecting treasure.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Staff successfully support children's emotional well-being. They take time to get to know children from the start. Staff work closely with parents to ensure they are aware of their child's individual needs. Children understand the importance of good hygiene routines and access the bathroom independently. They understand the importance of washing their hands before they eat their snack. Behaviour is very good. Children share the toys and take turns. They use their manners well. Staff build children's confidence and self- esteem. They praise and encourage children and recognise their efforts and achievements. Staff remind children to use their 'indoor voices' when they become animated in their play. Children enjoy physical activity and spend time outdoors each day. They enjoy using the school's outdoor gym equipment and can play ball games on the large field or in the school hall. Staff help children learn how to stay safe as they
