p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and staff have a good understanding of how to support children's welfare effectively. Staff understand the correct procedures to follow in the event of a concern about a child's welfare. Staff supervise children's play effectively to help keep them safe. There are good arrangements for recruitment, induction and vetting of staff. These help new staff members to understand the expectations of their role. Leaders have developed effective systems to support staff. For example, they have implemented regular supervision meetings, and supported staff with training to update their professional skills. Staff have used their new learning to develop the effectiveness of their interactions with the children.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff provide a friendly environment where children can relax or be physically active after their day at school. They provide a good range of activities and experiences and ask children about their choices. Staff plan stimulating activities for children to investigate and make discoveries. For example, children relish exploring the chemical reactions of adding mint sweets to fizzy drinks. Children enjoy exploring the outdoor environment and observing wildlife and fish in the school pond. Staff listen to children with interest and ask questions to encourage them to talk about their interests out of the club, such as the characteristics and usual habitats of some insects. Staff recognise that children take pleasure in being outdoors and plan a wide range of enjoyable activities for them, such as toasting marshmallows over small campfires. Children play well together, they use their imaginations as they pretend to care for baby dolls. Staff support children well

as they play. For instance, they have fun playing ball games together. This helps to encourage children's awareness of turn taking and fair play.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children have good opportunities to be physically active outdoors at each session. For example, children use the school outdoor area where they relish running up and down grassy mounds, engage in running races and use a variety of outdoor equipment. Staff help children to understand about how to keep themselves healthy in the hot weather. For example, they remind them of the importance of drinking lots of water. Staff are fully aware of children's allergies and dietary requirements. They provide a variety of healthy and nutritious snacks. Staff manage children's behaviour successfully. They talk with the children about their expectations, help them to manage their emotions and recognise when children need time and space to unwind after their day at school. Children treat each other with kindness and respect. For example, older children fully include the younger ones in their play.
