p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. Staff have a secure understanding of their responsibilities to protect children. They know the procedures to follow if they have concerns about children's welfare, including protecting children from extreme views and behaviours. The manager follows effective recruitment and vetting procedures to ensure that staff working with children are suitable to do so. Staff receive a detailed induction process to help them become familiar with the club's policies and procedures. Performance management evaluates staff practice and identifies any development needs.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Staff are very effective at engaging children of all ages in play. They use children's interests to form the basis for planning activities. Children tell staff what they like to play with and staff provide these experiences for them. Staff interact well with children and provide a good range of activities that complement children's learning in school. For instance, mathematical skills are supported through the variety of number games children play. Staff support young children's communication and language skills well. They speak to children clearly, use correct pronunciation and give children time to think and respond to questions. Young children have many opportunities throughout the day to develop their mark-making and cutting skills.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Young children flourish in this welcoming environment. They clearly feel secure and display high levels of confidence and emotional well-being. Young children show absolute delight as they join in with older children and play together. Children's behaviour is very good. Staff provide plenty of praise and encouragement to help support children's confidence and self-esteem. Children learn to share and they demonstrate excellent manners. They understand staff's high expectations of them as they happily help to tidy away before lunch. Children are skilled at sharing and taking turns. Young children demonstrate their self-care skills as they wash their hands before eating. Children show high levels of respect for each other. For instance, older children are very careful not to bump into younger children as they move around the environment. Young children are confident when meeting new visitors and invite the visitors to join in with their play.
