This provision is good

n The manager and staff provide a warm and welcoming environment. They access training to improve their knowledge of how to support children in their care. n Children have lots of fun at the club.

Parents describe the club as fantastic and say, 'Staff are really friendly, accommodating and very supportive'. n Staff have high expectations and children respond very well to the clear routines and boundaries set. Staff are excellent role models. n Staff work both in the club and in the host school. This provides excellent stability for children and parents.

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff recognise the possible signs, symptoms and indicators of abuse and neglect. They understand the referral procedure and know what action to take should they become concerned about a child's welfare. They use risk assessments to minimise hazards and help ensure that children's safety is maintained at all times. Staff are deployed well. They regularly check the environment to ensure that it continues to be safe. For example, staff encourage children to ensure the floor remains clear in order to avoid trip hazards. Staff complete up-to-date safeguarding and first-aid training to provide appropriate care for children. Staff have regular supervision meetings and appraisals to identify their own strengths and areas for improvement. The manager puts children at the centre of decisions that they make. She gathers the views of children and welcomes their thoughts and opinions. Staff develop good partnerships with the host

school. They share information daily with school staff to enhance consistency in children's care.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff have high expectations for children and carefully plan a good range of activities. They make meaningful observations, complement learning from school and plan activities based on children's interests. Younger children enjoy craft activities and staff interact well, building on the skills children have already learned. As children make dream catchers, staff use the opportunity to challenge them about their understanding of colours and numbers. Children become completely absorbed in the activity, demonstrating a great sense of pride in their creative work. Children use small figures imaginatively to create their own play. They confidently make up their own games and have fun with their friends. Staff frequently encourage children to talk about their day at school and other events in their lives. They encourage children to speak in front of others, helping them to become confident communicators.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children arrive at the club happy and confident. Staff encourage children to be independent and take responsibility for their own belongings. Children demonstrate their good independence skills as they hang up their coats and bags, and wash their hands ready for their snack. Children choose from a variety of healthy, nutritious snacks. Staff are successfully giving children clear messages about why it is important to have a healthy diet and be physically active. Outdoor facilities are good and children have daily opportunities to play in the fresh air. Children behave exceptionally well and show good awareness of the needs of others. They are kind and courteous to each other and to the staff.
