Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Staff place a high priority on keeping children safe. For example, managers remind children about the fire evacuation procedures at the start of every session. Arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Staff have a strong knowledge of child protection procedures. There are good procedures for the recording of information. Policies are robust and staff understand how to report any concerns. There is a strong management team who oversee the club well. Rigorous recruitment procedures ensure that all staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children. Staff and volunteers receive regular training and supervision. As a result, they are knowledgeable and entirely confident in their roles and responsibilities.

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children choose from many creative activities. They learn how to make intricate models from scraps and pretty bracelets and pom-poms. A theme of animals runs throughout all of the activities for the day. Children match pictures of animals to the places they live. They laugh together as they act out animal movements and make animal sounds. A colouring activity which promotes concentration and hand-to-eye coordination is very popular with the children. Staff engage children in conversation and ask them open questions to encourage a response. They talk about holidays, birthdays and trips outdoors, making links to children's home lives. Children enjoy physical activity indoors as they balance on stepping stones and crawl under a parachute. Staff encourage younger children's imagination as they build an imaginary cake from bricks. Children pretend to cook their cake in a toy oven. Staff promote children's mathematical thinking

as they ask them how long it will take to cook and how many seconds are in a minute.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The structure and routines of the club ensure that children know what to expect. This helps them to stay focused and their behaviour is good. The very high staff- and volunteer-to-child ratios mean that children are very well supervised. This has a positive impact on children's motivation and behaviour. Staff teach children to share and take turns. Staff praise children continually and encourage them to develop a good sense of self-worth. This helps children to become self-assured and they are proud of their own achievements. Staff provide children with a substantial and nutritious lunch, including a good choice of fruits and vegetables. Children are physically active. Staff encourage children in physical exercise as they play circle games in the playground. They choose activities outdoors, such as football and basketball. They are excited as they play musical chairs and other fun team games.
